Some would say that I brainwashed them all, I's say that I educated them all ;)
I am not 100% certain but I think that the friendly for Svens first game in charge was vs Doncaster. And I think he had just signed Gelson Fernandes.His Dad did. His first away was 1st aug 2007 Shrewsbury friendly Svens first game. Spent the journey home convincing him Sven won’t be plying ishmir miller again Lol

I stand to be corrected though.
Your probably right. Just remember it being before the first real game under Sven and it being the lads first away. Do remember no drinks at halftime. Remember the lad insisting he wore the full new kit and getting their about 2 hours before KO and couldn’t find a pub so stood outside the ground waiting. Saw team arrive in the new exec coach remember thinking this could be the start of something then my world came crashing back down as Ishmael Miller came wobbling on in the second half. Remember Shrewsbury Fans singing who the fuckin hell are youI am not 100% certain but I think that the friendly for Svens first game in charge was vs Doncaster. And I think he had just signed Gelson Fernandes.

Not a Manc myself but married a single mum from Eccles back in 1990. She already had 2 boys aged 9 and 11. The three of them, plus her sister, parents, grandparents, the whole lot of them, were Rags. When my 2 boys came along and were growing up, the influence of my stepsons, their mum and the rest was simply too much. I guess it also didn't help that the Rags were winning everything in sight while we were yoyoing up and down like a whore's draws! Fortunately, the older lad realised the error of his ways, and has been an STH with our local team (the Cobblers) for a few years now. The younger one, I'm sorry to say, is beyond redemption. Still, there is a silver lining I suppose; days like the 6-1 at the swamp, the Centurians year, all those trophies. I'm currently getting a lot of mileage out of our win at CAS (like most of them he simply refuses to accept it) and the De Gea situation.
