Have City been the love of your life?

I have loved City since I saw them as a young boy in 1966 away at Gigg Lane Bury when we lost 2-1.

I also have hated City since I saw them as a young boy in 1966 away at Gigg Lane Bury when we lost 2-1.

I'm a blue end of, and I'm in a marriage with all it's ups and downs, which was consummated 50 years ago.
 
Have City been the love of your life?

BEEN????

They will always be the love of my life, nothing else comes close, not one single thing. I will die a very happy man, not because of trophies or money, but because I had the pleasure of getting the match special to the game at Maine Road as a nipper with my older brothers, past the man with the "end is nigh" placard and the MUEN van and climbing up the metal stairs to sit on a splinter ridden wooden bench in the Platt Lane. Sitting on the whitewashed wall at the front of the kippax. I have been blessed to not follow the hordes to the swamp and become a football whore.

They will always be my Life, always!
 
My girlfriend accepts that when City are playing she has to take care of the house and the dogs. As well that we need to schedule things around City. So I would say yes it is the love of my life.
 
I love city in a similar way to how I love my kids. It's completely unconditional, in that I expect nothing in return, and always has been. They might, occasionally, mildly disappoint me but I'm never disappointed for very long. I can never envisage a time when I won't want them in my life, no matter where they've ended up or what they've done. They can make me smile at the oddest of times and make me unreasonably anxious at others. I suppose it's in the DNA. You stick with them, no matter what; you accept their flaws and even notice some of them yourself. But if others point those self same flaws out to you, it's all out attack, in defence of that which you love. City, what a pleasure it's been.
