Asked a rag in the pub on Monday if he thought Ten would survive (didn't even call him Poundland etc as I know he's touchy, gets upset when I use 'we' talking about City). We'd been chatting about other stuff for a hour or so before and apart from footie he's ok.
He went straight into a rant about me telling lies about being at the '74 game at the swamp like he was, no City fans there/ he was on the pitch etc.no idea where he was going with this but, I just smiled and asked himif he felt proud going onto the pitch and did he go anywhere near Doyle while he went on & on, went to the bar just as SKY were breaking the charges result, as I returned he went full 115 bingo.
I continued to smile while he ran out of breath. All I wanted was his honest opinion on Poundland.
There's a lot of pain there.
