Is Simon Gregson a Man City Fan?

[01282]

I think the club have brainwashed us into saying Man City instead of plain old City. The 3rd shirt this season probably tipped it.

I'll carry on referring to us as City though.

In 2002 I managed to score some hospitality tickets to St Marys as my dad was visiting dahn sarf. In the lounge before the match the MC dragged up the actor Kevin Kennedy, whose real name is not Curley, for some bants. Kevin was already quite refreshed and wasn't especially excited by being called "Curley" by said compere, but he played along without too much drama.

Cut to full time. We'd lost 2-0 and had been utterly gash. My dad had risked ejection by berating Gordon Strachan for "being a millionaire and still not being able to buy a fucking suit that fits", right from the posh seats behind the dugouts. Back in the hospitality suite and the MC tries to renew his back-and-forth with Kevin, who's clearly thrown a bit more down his neck and is in a black mood after the game.

MC - "Not too happy about the result then Curley?".
KK - "Fuck off".

I was in the Kippax hospitality as we faced relegation around 1998. Stood waiting for the lift and the door opened and Kevin Kennedy was in there with others. Someone said "Going down?" and quick as a flash KK replied "I fucking hope not!".

I used to be able to see in his lounge window from my flat many years ago, as an aside.

It makes me ill, not a single person who I go the match with would ever call us that unless its to fit into a song.

Not a big Corrie fan myself but Ma and Pa Bollo are watchers so I knew who he was. I think this was around the period his drinking had been in the tabloids. On the day he seemed a nice enough guy but I think he just wanted to be left alone. As did we all after that performance.

He didn't show any sign of it at Kingsway School when living in Heald Green.

To be fair we were f*cking gash in them days. He'd have probably kept his head down.

I seem to vaguely remember a photoshoot before the City v Rag semi final in 2011 when Michelle Keegan wore a City shirt and he donned a rag one

Other way round…

He's been a Blue for at least 20 years, used to see him sat near Jason Orange from Take That in H Block at Maine Road.

Is Jason Orange related to Wes Orange the former Rag and Sunderland defender ?
Asking for a friend obviously

She did that to piss off her then boyfriend Max George from The Wanted, a big City fan.

He had just kicked her little ass to the kerb.

Not too smart, Max?

Don't know if she's a blue or not, but my that picture. Grrrr

No offense Simon but I think utd got the better of that deal. I suppose we can console ourselves that they beat us to Fred, Sanchez and Maguire
