So it is okay for people from Aberdeen to support City but not United?
It isn't like anything happened with City in 1999 either is it? Got to be a piss take.
It is not like we had a bad defeat on the 21st Dec either is it?
I expected this. I am not about about to "prove" myself as a blue. It's ok. I hope I havent given the wrong impression of a blue up north. In this city it is so common to be a rag. This helps in itself to support the blues. What I try to say is it is a rubbish excuse to support a team just because of a history that all rags up here dont even know about. For your information, Yes, we did begin our blue supporting on that day. Why?
It was just magic!
i totally understand how one can come around to being a Blue out of disgust with being surrounded by fair-weather rags fanboy twats. i'm not from Manchester either (NY originally, currently in Bangkok), and detested rags a long time before i embraced the Blues. a Mancunian friend, a Blue lifer, noticed that my fav prem team was whoever was playing rags and had an easy time recruiting me in spite of City being relegation-threatened at the time.
as for any Mancs sweating over having to share the club with a bunch of damned foreign glory hunters, get used to it. the prem is the biggest football league on the planet now, the only escape from us is relegation.
