This paragraph, I can relate to-
Not because I 'love’ football. I don’t. I love my family and friends – and, and this is the slightly alarming part, I seem to also love Juventus. And possibly, the reason I bother watching, reading, hearing and writing about all this other football related stuff is because each and every match, each and every comment or toe-curling 'angle’ carries a faint echo of someone somewhere undergoing the same pointless sufferings and celebrations as my own.
