The wonderful things City fans do to avoid United associations

I cheated on my mrs and didn't feel guilty coz her and her family were all reds so she and them deserved it. Am I off topic?

Accidentally picked up a black polo shirt in the Adidas shop with the United crest on the front. I got that feeling when fingernails are scratched down a blackboard.
I don't own and have never bought any red clothes. I still eat tomatoes though, I know Celtic fans who will not eat carrot as they are orange and Rangers fans who don't eat anything green. That is going to the extreme.

The carrot bit I can understand @m7mcfc as William of Orange had them carrots made for him. Prior to their genetic engineering they were purple or white like most stuff grown underground.
Can't comment on avoiding green veg though although it sounds like an excuse to get chippy tea every night

How did you do it? Massively overpay for a load of attacking players then set them up im an ultra defensive formation?

Haha not far off actually. Mourinho 'Special One' my arse; I was years ahead of him.

What tended to do was spend all their money buying City's worst players (the double whammy of draining their transfer budget whilst replenishing ours) and then I'd put Ryan Giggs in goal just to humiliate him.

Here we go again. Full dress inspection for any items that contain even a hint of red. Last time missus decided it wasnt important to put my youngest lad in red socks as they had black in them as well and we end up losing to the shite. She has been warned first thing this morning!

Haha, last time I was there I had a "choice" of 4 Chevrolets (no idea what models) and a Dodge Charger. Easiest decision I've ever had.

That’s my car. The V8. I have a monster commute and this makes it (almost) tolerable.

Slightly off topic but the pride I felt yesterday as my ten year old son rearranged the calender display in our local tesco in order to hide the rag calenders- magical.

...Or any other team for that matter.
(Mods feel free to move thread to appropriate place).

Got me thinking today with the derby coming up how I try to avoid the colour red due to its association with all things united.

1. No red colours (even down to my underpants) on derby day. And that includes my kids and the missus. This has been extended to mostly any match as I got older.

2. I have keyboard that is backlit with different colours. It's never on the red colour.

3. Once refusing to get a lift in a red car on derby day. I fuckin walked.

4. Got bought a lovely red T Shirt for my birthday from the missus. It 'accidently' got paint on it. Never worn or seen again.

There's probably more. So Blues, how do you avoid rag associations the in the run up to derby day or always?
