I feel your pain, I'm an Arsenal fan and year in year out it's a perpetual disappointment....
I grew up a Liverpool fan. Took the opportunity to watch a match at Anfield when I was in England.
Take solace in not being United or Chelski fans. I saw Barcelona at the Nou Camp 3 times last year and managed to get to a St Pauli away game in Germany. (If I couldn't get a ticket I was going to try to get a ticket to see Dortmund at home.) My next holiday is going to be the World Cup in 2018 if Australia qualify.
