An old ex of mine was convinced that the only reason I wasn't a professional footballer was because I was "too bloody lazy!". I tried to explain to her that I was just no where near good enough to make it, but she just wouldn't have it. Nope, it was all down to laziness on my part. She was once outraged when she heard Kenny Jackett giving a post match interview on the telly. "He's English!" she shouted. She honestly believed that all Swansea players and staff should be from Swansea. I then made the mistake of explaining that most of them weren't even from Wales. Bloody long night that was. Made it even worse when I explained that Jackett had played lots of times for Wales. I can still vividly remember the headache.

My Mum once came out with "Ohhh the referee could've scored then"
Hmmm... my dear wife was the one who got me into supporting the Swans, we watch all the games together and we keep each other up to date on news, potential signings and whatnot. We also follow the Ospreys and I have to admit, it's her I turn to when some of the trickier aspects of rugby laws need explaining to me.

Don't tell her what country Pat Van Den Hauwe played for. Her head will explode
In the early days of sky, they used to drop like a virtual digital banner from the stand to show you the stats etc. I once got told "you'd be well pissed off if you were sat behind that"!

Ohhh. Harsh.
I had an ex who said to me " I haven't seen you for weeks (was posted over at Norfolk at the time.) Do you really have to go and watch the Football? I don't even like the Swans"
Harsh, but a joke had her nearly 40 years so must be doing something right!
Never knew getting old would happen so quick!

Some Newcastle fans were baffled as to why one seat, near them, was always empty. Until, someone appeared for a Boxing Day game. When asked why the seat had been empty since August, the seething fan said that his missus had given him a ST as a Xmas present!

My missus can never grasp that a player can play for club and country. It's getting better now but the amount of conversations around how Rooney is playing for Man United and England used to be annoying.
Talking about other clubs, if I watch any other game other than the Swans - ''why are you watching this? You don't even like Liverpool'' etc. If it's a Swans game she gets it but I'm not supposed to watch any other club because I "don't even like them".
She usually refers to players as the 'one I like' or 'my boy'. Everton away last week and the camera panned over to Routledge on the bench - 'Why is the keeper on the bench?'. Me - 'what?!' Her - 'the one with the nice eyes' Me - 'Routledge?!' Her - 'yeah, why is he on the bench?' Me - 'he's a winger and he's just come off' Her - 'why is he a goalie today?'
He was in a training top.
Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

Writing this bought back some memories.
I remember arguing with her for about an hour over the advert in the video below. She was convinced that it was absolutely genuine with absolutely no fat suit or clever editing involved. Just a really flexible fat guy.

I remember watching Denmark in a WC game with an ex, maybe 1982 or 86, and she said Preben Elkjaer didn't have the physique for a footballer, he was too thin and emancipated.

I said to my ex girlfriend that Stevie wonder was going to play down the vetch. She said I didn't know he play football doh!
I went to see Stevie Wonder. I remember him saying to the crowd how unfair it was that he had to do a 2 hour concert, before driving the bus to the next venue. Stunned silence for a few seconds, before a rapturous round of applause at his self-deprecating humour

He was probably illegible too.

Chelsea away this year. The Mrs comes along for a day out in London whilst we go to the footie. Having a drink on King's Road outside a cafe-bar when my wife looks at a notice on the window and says "how do they get away with that !"
I turned round to read the notice which announced "No Colours Allowed"
I had to explain it to her how apartheid was not rife in west London.
