Does your wife/girlfriend support a rival club?

[spongy]

Mine does, and it happens to be Newcastle

She's Brighton born and bred and had no interest in football until she moved to Newcastle a few years ago and went to her first footie match up there and got the football bug.

Now she's back here she still supports the toon as that is her team and I respect that but since the cup draw she has been giving me some banter that I don't know quite how to deal with

And she has managed to secure herself some tickets for her and her brother in the away end for next weekend and the abuse and non-stop banter is beginning to get to me. I have now told her that I'm not putting up with her potty mouth drivel and we are now enemies until the 28th ( atm this is friendly banter but will get obviously get worse over the coming week)

I have a mate who's arsenal and his missus is spurs which always gets entertaining), they've now just learned not to talk about it for fear of serious arguments.....

Our supporting other clubs has never been a problem til now

Anyone else suffer the same problem?

A friend of mine (North Stand STH) is married to a Palace fan. First dance at their wedding -"Glad all over". Must love her.

My wife is a STH. Makes life a lot easier, esp. Valentines day.

 

[ees complicated no?]

Possibly, mine used to be gorgeous until a few days ago, now she's argumentative and less attractive...

Argh, her cousin is getting married on Valentine's day in Essex, was pre booked for it back in September, we're not even invited to the wedding, just the evening, I have to take 2 days off work to go up and stay in a hotel just for the night

Not only did I miss millwall away cos I couldn't get off work I'm gonna miss the home game as I'm in Colchester with people I've only met a handful of times...

We're on a mini (I hope) break, so perhaps there is a third!

Regarding football, I wouldn't really call Lincoln City rivals. However, when it comes to rugby...

 

[Max Paper]

My wife can't stand football but a mate of mine in the north stand married into a palace mad family. His brother was best man at the wedding and after his speach he was presented with a gift. He opened it and it was a palace shirt, he turned round and lobbed it straight out the window! Was very funny!

 

[Lady Gull]

My fella hates football not interested one bit!!!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i've actually never been out with anyone who has even a vague interest in football......then again most people are shocked when i tell them i'm into football

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Trying to get my girlfriend to support Chesterfield, will probably take her to the JPT final.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

My wife was a Saints STH as a girl. 100% converted now though.

is it just me or is she a bit fishy?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Her family are palarse, she never cared. First ever match? Brighton vs Wrexham last season away when we lifted the trophy, and she had no idea until that chant started what trouble she'd be in when she got home. When the announcer read out the scum's halftime score twice because of the reaction first time (as many away fans as home that day) her face was priceless. *grin*

Married a Scot - needless to say - she has little interest in football.
