I rarely talk to fans of other clubs these days as the usual crap the media post about us comes pouring out, plus their own bile. Last night I made an exception but sadly it went as expected.
I'm sitting in a pub in Didsbury watching the Arsenal game, my mates are half watching, half not. Anyway just before the start of the second half this couple come in, early sixties and ask if they can sit next to me. No problem. They start chatting, they are from Leicester, here for the weekend. They've just had a meal and are staying in Deansgate and ask me where the tram station is for getting back. They seem a nice couple. Then we start talking about football. They support Leicester, or so they say, more on that later.
The chat is reasonable at first then it starts. He reckons they have the best owners, then it's we do it the right way, win trophies without spending a fortune. Then it's Pep only wins because he manages clubs with money, he couldn't do it at lower clubs. This is when I go from being polite to having a pop back at these pricks. As I educate them a little he actually apologised for slagging us off saying he was a bit out of order. This shows how much the years of constant anti City shite spouted by the media affects people's perception of us as a club and our fanbase. I realised they are absolute half wits when they said Messi, arguably the best player that has ever been, should have stayed at Barcelona and played for NOTHING if he loved the club so much instead of crying on TV. You really couldn't make it up.
They saved the best until last though. As the conversation widened with others,as they left he mentioned they were going to do a tour of the swamp tomorrow,!!! Apparently it was his birthday treat. So he was probably a rag who now supports his local side as they're not doing too badly these days. I was gutted they left because I really wanted to discuss this little gem with him.
I hope the cunts are both in bed ill with food poisoning this morning and he misses the tour!!
