Cultured? What the hell is that supposed to mean? I know football because I have been watching it for (probably) far longer than any other around here, and did so mainly as a hard up working class lad standing in the rain and freezing. Why understanding an interest which is not based on club bias is so difficult to understand is beyond me. Try this for a concept. A lover of classical music.......but not only Bach. Of good food.......but not only prime steak Of Jazz.................. but not only Mulligan Of ice cream.......but not only vanilla Of art.............,,,, but not only Turner Of opera......but not only Puccini Of Drama......but not only Shakespeare Of sport........but not only football. Of gambling.....but not only poker....etc. Not difficult to understand is it? So why such a problem with adding football to the list? LC

And in any case I'm a Liverpool fan, but I can enjoy Ronaldo, support England, enjoy a Barcelona vs. Real Madrid game, hate Brazil, watch the Africa CUp of Nations, etc etc. IT's not either/or.
