I concur. He was charm personified when I met him, had NEVER found him attractive up until that moment.
Love the way a thread about trouble in Seville has been derailed and is now talking about Sven
I had a massive row with my wife about Sven, too. The night we played our first home game under him against Derby, and I had 3 month old twins and a 2 year old at home. I think someone was teething or whatever, but my wife was trying to insist I stayed at home to help her. I was going mad, saying "It's the start of a new era!!!" and was furious as I'd been looking forward to it for ages. She won, and in retrospect it was fair enough. I was being a tad selfish. After one or two rows like this we ended up making a pact where I said that i would always tell her how big a match was, and would miss the smaller ones but not the bigger ones. these days they are older and it's never an issue.
The last one I remember was that game against Sunderland which was called off. The weather was all over the news and as we ate our tea the glass surface of our giant patio table was whipped into the air and shattered against the wall. There was a news report from the Etihad showing burger vans unturned and stuff. She was trying to insist it wasn't safe to cross the M62, and I was saying it was fine. Next thing the game was called off and she got all smug about it.
