Forget Sex. Fans Daydream about Football

By: Bob | May 9th, 2007

soccer-fan.jpgYou’ve undoubtedly heard that the average male thinks about sex every seven seconds which means that if you have boy body parts you need to pause while reading this sentence and think about it. Done? Good. While the seven second rule is probably an urban myth (pause again, guys), a new study from England shows that men there do think quite a bit about scoring.

According to a poll of 2,000 men performed by the financial services company Virgin Money, who apparently have nothing better to do with their unsoiled resources, fans of the English Premier League think about football 80 times a day, which works out to once every 12 minutes.

Seven percent of men admitted to being football horndogs (The Offside target demographic), thinking about the sport every minute. Maybe they kill two birds with one stone by thinking about footballers having sex. No wonder the Sunderland sex tape is so popular.

Fans of a pair of teams facing relegation had impure football thoughts the most, while Everton fans know better than to think about their football team this season.

Table of fans who think about their clubs the most a day:
1. Sheffield Utd (110 times)
2. Charlton (104)
3. Chelsea (90)
4. Liverpool (81)
5. West Ham (79)
6. Man Utd (71)
7. Newcastle (70)
8. Arsenal (69)
9. Reading (67)
10. Portsmouth (63)
11. Aston Villa (62)
12. Tottenham (61)
13. Middlesbrough (59)
14. Blackburn (58)
15. Man City (57)
16. Fulham (57)
17. Bolton (57)
18. Wigan (57)
19. Watford (51)
20. Everton (43)

    Man, I only think about Newcastle about 25 times/day, and even that is enough to leave me permanently depressed.

    I would think Everton would be higher … huh … it’s actually an interesting list. Good for Sheffield.

    Poor things, that’s what comes of having external sex parts, you have to take 7 second breaks while we girls can just sit around and perpetually glow : ) .

    BTW, wasn’t there also a list of which teams caused their fans the most hair taring, ill-health and general nervous collapse? Is this the same one?
