This is a football post.

Warning: This has been building up for a while and... yeah, shit is about to get kind of tl;dr. (Note: This rant is in no way directed at the club/supporters. It’s mostly just me venting and yeah, my righteous anger is directed solely at the president of the club.)

( haha, i'm so srs about that tl;dr warning. )

attempts at meta?, objectification of pretty men, fuuuutbol

I feel simultaneously sorry for and jealous of everyone out there that doesn’t care about football.

THIS! fucking this.... seriously....

also I LOVE YOU FOR THIS POST BB... I mean I love you anyway... but yeah... just so much yes to all of this... ly &hearts

Right? Football has been linked so intrinsically to all 17 years of my life so far that I can't even begin to concieve of a world where I didn't feel all these feelings. I just can't. I don't think I want to because ohmygosh, I'm not even being hyperbolic when I say that some of the happiest moments I've ever lived through have been in relation to this sport that I adore... but at the same time, sometimes, it makes me so happy that I feel heavy and sad about it. I cry more at football (see: everytime Ryan Giggs walks out onto a pitch) than I do at anythingggg else and I get reeeeally angry sometimes (see: every time I have to look at Fernando fucking Torres/Didier Drogba/Joey Barton) and I'm not that comfortable with anger as an emotion; I'm not good at handling it. So yeah, I'm a little jealous of everyone who doesn't get put through emotional wringers like that bi-weekly.

exactly. that's it exactly. football is a huge deal to me and in terms of newcastle it's a intrinsic link to my geordie roots as well.... it's easy to feel lost down here when I sort of feel I belong up there... but football gives me a connection back to all of that...

and sure it hurts.... I don't have a fucking clue how I'm going to deal with us playing in the championship next season... but it's mostly worth it... because when it's good (which hasn't been very often in terms of newcastle recently ngl... and damn I'm still not over the champions league in terms of united...) it's really fucking good.... like England recently... THEY'RE ACTUALLY PLAYING WELL! and the USA in the confederations cup... sure they lost the final but they GOT TO THE FINAL. and that was all kinds of epic.... so yeah.... football... &hearts

i agree with all of this.Money is getting waay to much involved in football,I hope Barca beat Real next year.
I love football more than my national sport 'gaelic'.

It's weird, I don't even know if I want Barca to beat them (I'm still bitter, ngl) but it's definately going to be interesting to see how that turns out. Pretty much the only Spanish team I have any affection for is Valencia, tbh, so I was kind of hurt when RM got Albiol as well because I love that dude and it's why if they do get Silva, I may or may not cry a little bit.

Iker pics are always cute, it's just his natural state of being.

I totally agree with this post <3

Kiko is so adorable in your icon omg <3

Football is more like a living organism. It needs love. If the love isn’t there, it breaks down.
THIS. 3943053 TIMES
But yeah, I agree with all this.

Despite the whole take that the ladies are doing at ONTDFB aka Perez brings on the lols. To be realistic, he isn't. He isn't making good choices for RM. I'm still sad Albiol isn't at Valencia anymore, I love him, I love Valencia and the last few matches without Silvia killed me.

However, he seems content and that kinda makes me feel a bit better.

But I just seriously wish the transfer season was over, it's seriously been one of the worst.
And my god, Iker. I..words..can't even describe my adoration for him. I'm left speechless all the time.

offthebalcony July 10 2009, 17:38:39 UTC

Perez does bring the lulz a lot of the time but, urghhh, I CAN'T GET AWAY FROM HOW ICKY I FEEL ABOUT IT ALL. HE'S FUCKING IT ALL UP AND I WANT HIM TO STOP. I don't even really care how childish it makes me sound in saying that.

Oh man, Albiol made me so sad. If Real Madrid get Silva, I'm probably going to cry about it. Valencia's pretty much the only Spanish team I really like (which is why I'm so upset about not being able to go to the friendly with them at Old Trafford. Fucking ~circumstances. BAD TIMING, BOYS.) and fuckkk, I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM GET SCREWED LIKE THIS. It hurrrts.

The worst was still back in '03, for me. David Beckham broke my little 11 year old heart into tiny pieces and I've never really recovered, haha, but this is definately the most fucked up ever.

/claps

That was well-written and can definitely understand some of the points you made.

And this also is the comment where I say that you are one of my favorite United supporters, and then shamelessly add you as a friend.

Is that okay, bb?

bunnysayboo July 15 2009, 17:33:13 UTC

I can*

I can't type though.

offthebalcony July 15 2009, 17:36:05 UTC

Oh wow, hi, thank you! I tried really hard when I was writing this not to sound like I was coming off all bitter and like I was hatin' on them for no reason, so I'm really glad that people think it was well written :D
