Someone Asked Me THE Question Last Night...

[Anonymous]

got asked on the phone by a client at work.

he was a rotheram fan and was surprised to hear i'd seen city play his side.

'Become a City fan, I was born a City fan!'.

I got asked this on Sundayby a Villa fan.
I told him since last week

'Tell me how many times you've been to Old Trafford and I'll tell you how many years I've been a blue. Whoever says the highest number wins'.

Even if you've only been a blue for 1 year you should still win.

Never been asked, have a northern accent (not Manc) at work still have a pennant showing the old badge and a picture of Maine Road with the old standing Kippax and Main stand as it was with open corners. If I was asked I would probably say 0-0 against Leicester 1977.

Because I live down south I get asked it all the time, when I say all my life that shuts them up :)

I get it quite often as I don't have a manc accent.

I simply laugh at them.

Where are you from? Always presumed you were a local Lad.

It's not uncommon for me to get grilled by another Blue when I meet them for the first time. I left Manchester 6 years ago and my accent has mellowed a bit. However, I also tell people I work away as opposed to live away. It's just easier before that repulsive inverted snob suddenly appears in front of me.

Yet to be asked this but i might reply with, "What time is it now?"

Got asked several times during the season by opposing fans. Actually got pissed off a couple of times when I should have just taken the mickey. Thing is true answer goes back to the 60s so I don't really look the age of someone who has just switched teams.

"I've been a blue about as long as you've been a knobhead...." usually works haha ;)
