After the swamp derby, he came up to me and asked what I thought of shrek's winner.
I told him it was a deflection, he shinned it and was very lucky.
He said something about me being bitter.
After our Europa League exit, he told me that would be another season without a trophy.
This morning, I saw him for the first time since then and I asked him, "Where've you been? I haven't seen you since the semi" My Bradford City-supporting mate, who was with him, laughed his head off.
"Oh, I've been...I've been..."
I see that banner's gone. I remember you telling me it would be there for another season."
"Oh, they've put something else up now."
"Yeah," I said, "something about the heart of Manchester. That's a joke, for sure."
Why's it a joke?
"Because the swamp is not in Manchester."
Where's Newton Heath, then?
It's in Manchester, near Gorton"
"And that's where United started."
"Yes, I know, but they're not there now. There's only one club in Manchester."
He then proceeded to call me bitter, to which I replied, "I'm not bitter".
"Mike Doyle, he's a bitter Bertie."
"Why's he bitter?"
"Because he hates United."
"Just because he hates scum, it doesn't make him bitter; he's always hated them."
"Well, I hope the oil runs out soon; you'll be f****d then."
"That's not going to happen in my lifetime or yours"
With that, he wandered off, leaving me feeling very pleased with myself.
Later, I went and spoke to my mate, who told me that he doesn't even go to matches. Somehow I wasn't surprised.
