Living as I do in bandit country I do know a lot of reds (more reds than blues although strangely more blue season ticket holders than reds who visit OT on match days), I have had various responses ....
1) One who commented on a pic of the 6-1 scoreline I posted on facebook back in March "Haha you banged on about 6-1 but it means nothing now" ..... not heard from him since Sunday (he was a Port Vale fan when we were kids, became a Utd fan around 1998 weirdly)
2) Old mate from Wythenshawe who I run darts exhibitions with has come up with the original thing about City buying the league but has been honest enough to say, when a red in the pub claimed he was pleased the title was staying in Manchester, "Well I'm f##kin not"
3) One who followed Morecambe all over the country until he got hitched last year but has allegedly been a Utd fan all his life, spent the last few months posting stuff on facebook about Curly Watts / Ricky Hatton / Eddie Large crying didn't turn up for darts last night, no idea why.
4) Father & son who live next door to my Dad and came round in 99 after their treble with a bottle of champers, knocked on his door to ask when I was expected to visit, promising to bring a bottle round when I do..... we'll see.
And the funniest thing I've seen

The reds from all over the world branding City fans glory hunters, to be fair out of the 50 odd comments on the photo, 2 of the people live Manchester. I'm sure you can guess which ones.
