I could lie but I really haven't missed the football. The good thing about this forum is that it's much more than just football. It's a proper online community.

I agree on this place but as a middle aged divorcee, take away sport and my local pub and there isn't much left in my life.
I think I need a hobby!

Haven’t missed it even slightly, this season took a lot out of me and I view the club a whole lot more negatively than I used to. Always thought I was a bit too emotionally attached in the past so this has been v nice to get away from. When football and Tottenham are back I can’t say I’ll be running back to it

I voted no. Just think this whole situation has made me appreciate other things in life and how insignificant football is in the bigger picture. I really dont miss it.

I’ve been falling out of love with the game for a while now. This has just confirmed what a horrible game it has become....players, pundits, presenters etc all arguing over guess what???Money!!! We’ve been told for many years now that football is a business. Well look at businesses all over the world struggling and employees taking pay cuts, being furloughed etc. These players are no bigger or better than the rest of us, if the clubs that they are employed by need them to take cuts then so be it. Have some dignity and accept that there are more important things going on.

I do miss the football, particularly not being able to go to live games. I love the time I spend on my club, and I love the break I get from work and family that comes with it.

Dont get me wrong, I love my family too, but fuck me they can be annoying at times...

I know that this isn’t a politically correct announcement at the moment and I am joking, I just miss the lovely balance in life I once had.

Nope, which is why I’ve barely posted on here.

I’ve been in isolation, alone, for 20 days as of today.

Football has barely crossed my mind. Which is strange, because I haven’t had that much to do, aside from thinking.

I miss watching football. I miss hoping that West Ham, Arse, Chelsea, Palace and Aldershot lose and Spurs, Bournemouth, Norwich and Woking win. I miss the Saturday night ritual of MotD with a beer. I miss shouting FFS Dele at the TV.

I'm not a multi fan. Spurs winning is the all that really matters. I just have an affinity/dislike to the others for various reasons.

The importance of football has been lost on me for a while. It no longer ruins my entire week when Spurs lose. This situation has just compounded that. I still miss it though.
