I've never heard anyone say football is a matter of life and death, ever...
if my ex came back I'd choose fpptball any day
and football I must keep off the beer
Bill Shankly said it god rest his soul!!!!
If some bloke had your child hostage and said ill release him if you burn down your teams ground, you would do it in a shot.
==========================
Yes, I would say I have just changed my team to Spurs.
I love football but its not a matter of life and death far from it.
---------------------------
In some countries it is. For some football is the only escape. Football can uplift communities and unite people, and make millions happy, in good times and in times of hardship and difficulties.
I think you should try to see the world from their eyes as well.
What a ridiculous Article, 1 Star from me, it is absolutely a matter of life and death!
It was a Bill Shankley comment - I suspect tongue in cheek. He said: "Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude, I can assure you it's much more important than that"
Shankley made several witty comments in his time at Liverpool. I don't think he intended this one to be taken any more seriously than the rest.
If you had the option of a romantic night with the love of your live but your have to cancel your weekend trip to football, your be straight on ebay putting the ticket up for sale.

Comment by Baz Bit extreme examples there but if i made silly examples it wont get through.
Baz if you're under 12,then decent article.If you're over 12 what a load of b*ll*cks to be reading on a Sunday morning.
Yes, I would say I have just changed my team to Spurs
ahhh it all makes sense now.
... and thats why you support chelsea
I, for one, share the view of the OP.
Then again, it's so obvious the disapproving replies above simply try to add an extra dimension to the ever expanding 'sense of humour' definition.
To phrase good ol' Tom:
Got no time for the corner boys, down in the street makin' all that noise,
Don't want no wh0res on eighth avenue, cause tonight I'm gonna be with you.
.
why would someone post this tosh, I thought the end of 606 was the end of moaners and WUM's if anything the post are lacking because people have packed it in and when there are post they are from dipsticks like this guy, WUM's or other fans having a go. Shame... real shame
I too concur with the original poster. What baffles me is how people who are struggling financially will willingly spend their money on watching games to pay the wages of what are now really a bunch of overpaid nancy boys.
I've got to say, that I find most so-called amusing footy quotes (as I find most so-called witty quotes from famous dead persons) to be anything but funny.
Oscar Wilde, when coming through Customs and asked "do you have anything to declare" is supposed to have said "nothing but my genius!" Not only is that NOT funny, but I hope those Customs officers kicked the s**t out of him!
Brian Clough is reported, at the end of his career, to have said "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one." Oh! It rips my sides apart!
No doubt, that clown Holloway is going to be quoted as one of modern football's best wags. That man is semi-literate. Oh! The irony!

============
Bye son, the last 14yrs have been great, I'll tell your mum you said bye !!!!
If some god in magical fantasy land came and said we will bring one of your family members or a close mate you miss back to life for one day but your team will have to drop a division, you would say send them down.
========
NEVER!!!!
If you had the option of a romantic night with the love of your live but your have to cancel your weekend trip to football, your be straight on ebay putting the ticket up for sale.

Regrettably over-cited, the quotes by O. Wilde & B. Clough still are dead-funny. As simple as that. No idea what I. Holloway is doing in your overview of 100+ years of humour, but there you go.
However, I appreciate your opinion. Different kettle of fish. You(r view on things) 've Been Framed.

Ghandi, when asked what he thought of Western Civilisation, is supported to have retorted, "I think it would be a good idea!" And people wonder why he was shot.
I meant to write "...supposed..."
Football is important througout the world. ok its not life or death in england but in some places it is.
kids on the streets of Rio if they dont get involved with football they will end up either in a gang getting killed or killed off by the police in their notorious killings of street kids.
football is the only thing in the world that will unite people of a different culture, language, creed, colour. once you bring out a football and kick it about you will have strangers asking you to play withing a couple of minutes. only football can do that.
ok its not quite life or death, but its not far off.
