Just asked my wife who knows nothing about football who the manager of Man United is. She replied ‘no idea’. Asked her who the manager of Man City is. She replied’Pep Guardiola’. Then asked her who’s the manager of Blackpool. She replied ‘isn’t he someone a bit dodgy?’

Try asking your non footballing partner football questions. The answers might be quite funny.

We were watching the football scores one day and when Elgin City where mentioned she said why are they giving out the scores from Greece 🙃
 
My wife still struggles to grasp the fact that the Championship is not only a completely different thing to the Champions League but is also below the Premier League.

Ted Lasso did a really good scene that sums up a regular conversation in my life...

Just asked the same questions, she answered
Man Utd.......Klopp
Man City.......Some Italian
Blackpool......The guy who went and came back
🤣🤣👍🏻
 
This won’t sound funny, but at the time, I utterly collapsed. My wife is born & bred Liverpool and loosely claims to be a fan… once I asked her to name 3 Liverpool players. She said ‘that’s easy… 1. Kevin Keegan 2. Steven Gerrard 3. Phil Boose’

Years on we have never got to the bottom of who the Hell she meant by Phil Boose??!

How times have changed. Everyone knew Man U manager when Ferguson was in charge and clueless about Man C.
 
My wife loves football and cricket. She knows more than me. . She'll ask my opinion on someone who has just been transferred and I'll say has he?🤣

It’s a woman’s world.

When I found out Kane had gone to Bayern today the first person I told was my daughter !
 
When I was based at Northampton ,,,just newly married ,,,88 ,,,Blackpool came down to Northampton ,,it was a night game ,,,said to wife ,,I was going ,,,,on the day of the game ,,I said ,,remember ,,I'm going to the game tonight ,,,,she said ,,,oh ,,I thought you were joking ,,,Im not ,,I said ,,,she thought hard for a second ,,,well if it's a night game,,,how will the players see the ball ,,,,hahaha ,,after I fell about laughing ,,,I told her that they wear miners helmets with the light on ,,,she believed me as well ,,,that is ,,believe it or not ,,,A true story ,,,
 
I knew mine was a keeper when I was watching a Chelsea match on TV years ago and it was half time. Whilst the pundits were chatting and she walks in and said "Is that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink?" She walked out like nothing happened and I must have sat there stunned for a few minutes.

Still makes me smile god knows how many years later.
 
My wife, yesterday morning: ‘before I met you, I didn’t really know how much of a big deal Blackpool and football really are’.

Me: 😉
 
I was watching a world cup or euros game involving England when Sven Goran Eriksson was manager and my wife was getting quite into it, after a while she asked me "which one is Svengor?". She thought England had two managers, Svengor and Eriksson.
