So here's one of my passions for you to understand how I've suffered (and indeed been blessed) over the course of my life supporting the Gooners:
From Sheffield and Bob Stokoe's Sunderland through to oh so many cup finals I've been there - winning, losing and carrying on - a football team is for life, not just the seasons when they are winning.
There's also Southend United, Reading, Wycombe Wanderers, Marlow and (of course) Tamworth FC - with a late entry into the 'love list' of the Baggies too - boing boing!!
Football - not so much a sport - more of a faith statement

You had me until you mentioned the Baggies ;)
Just love the passion of their fans - they're fun and take adversity with a smile
Sorry

Reminds me of the story of the Apostle John and his pet peacock.
An archer visited John while he was in exile on Patmos. Astonished to see that the holy man had a pet peacock, the visitor asked, "Why does such a spiritual man as yourself have such a trivial thing as that pet peacock?" John replied, I see you have a bow there. Tell me, do you keep it permanently strung nice and tight ready for use?" "Of course not," said the archer. "I have to unstring it so that it relaxes and doesn't lose its effectiveness." ""As with your bow, so with me and my peacock," replied the Apostle.
