Arsenal 0 - 3 Tottenham

Opium, Opera, Soma, whatever.

I have been in games with 80,000 people on the terraces completely engadged emotionally for 90 minutes in what is going on in front of you. Highs, lows, you do not get that with tiddlywinks.

A Pele goal, Maradona juggling the bottle with his feet, Van Basten scoring from an impossible angle, Celtic winning the European Cup in 67, Larssons's run from the half way line, nutmeg, goal. I enjoy it.

Fair point. I'm not trying to be anti, I'm just trying to delve deeper and understand.

Eg, I could, in theory, just accept that I like my own hobbies, and that's all there is to it. But I like to know why these things move me, rather than just accept them, if that makes any sense. We all have to defend our decisions in doing the things we do, and understanding why we do the things we do is part of that journey of defence and self-discovery and exploration.
