I've lived in London since the week before we got relegated to 3rd tier in 1998 and I am now starting to get asked a few daft questions about being a glory hunter. In the main the questions are usually tongue in cheek because people can tell by my accent that I'm not a local native. This usually results in some friendly banter and nothing to get too wound up about. Let's face it, as City fans we can certainly handle a bit of banter after being so shit for so long.
However, for my son, who will be 4 next week, and for whom the City brainwashing process is complete (I hope), I expect things to be different as he grows up. Regrettably he is never going to sound Mancunian, and hopefully will grow up in a glorious era of City success. However, I expect that this will mean people regard him as a glory hunter. Let's face it there is nothing more infuriating than a rag bastards in London, it still makes my blood boil after all these years down here, so in future when he is asked I expect he will be met with the same amount of contemptuousness that I reserve for rags when they justify their allegiance by saying that their dad is red. However, the difference is that their dads were glory hunters too.
