The lad has about a dozen European half and half scarves pin to his ceiling. Looks smart as fuck.
Yes, well said.. I remember that Arsenal performance, a great example of how the game should be played, with Thierry Henry outstanding.. The Everton title winners of 1970 were a great unit too, Kendall, Harvey and Ball so creative and quick to move the ball forwards.. And I recall the Everton side that won it in 1962-63, built around ‘The Golden Vision’, Alex Young (my Old Man said of him to me before the 1-1 draw with them that season at Maine Road, ‘You’re going to see a footballer today..watch and learn’) Plus there was the fabulous Liverpool side under Dalglish.. seemed to be everywhere on the pitch! Mind, good as they all were, those teams don’t hold a light to this City team.. the greatest football I’ve ever seen in the English league, only matched by Barca under Pep, the Dutch World Cup 74 team and the Brazilians of1970.. We’re so, so lucky to be witnessing this..Fair play to the Everton fans. I recall us applauding Arsenal at Maine Road when they absolutely stuffed us. (I think it was 0-4 at half time). It's how football should be, but rarely is. Worth remembering, if you hang around 50 years every dog has its day. The Everton team that won the league in 1970 was pretty special too.
What do mean 'IF they become City fans?
You have a responsibility to those kids to ensure they are brought up and raised correctly!

I haven't come across any non-City football fan who has in the first instance alluded to the quality of football we play and the quality of our players. It might be that I don't speak to certain fans, but it's invariably the money that gets a mention first, and I've had some people state as their opening comment after I've told them I'm a City fan -" Manchester City? I can't stand them!''
