To bastardize a quote from Steve Redgrave, if I ever return to the swamp, you've got my permission to shoot me.
God knows why, but it's deemed perfectly acceptable for the away end to be empty for the last few minutes of the ETIHAD derby, yet City fans treated like cattle, and not even allowed to go for a piss, when the boot"s on the other foot.
Then, after 30 minutes of pent-up frustration we're confronted by a hostile bottleneck of social misfits, all goading for a reaction, but all complaining when the challenge is accepted, and "F*** Off you Munich C***s" is hurled in their direction.
I despise the club, the kit, the ""Barnsley reds" (go and support Barnsley you f***** cowards), the confrontational arrogance, and above all, I despise the mythology.
Google Manchester Central FC and you might learn something.
I also despise the FA for insisting that City hold a minutes silence for the drink driving thug who broke Glyn Pardoe's leg, (thus making me miss the kick-off as there wasn't a cat -in-hells chance of me being in the stadium for that farce)
So that's it
Finito!
8 Wins, 9 draws, 11 defeats, 2 Testimonials, 1 England International, and 5 miscellaneous appearances in the 1980s supporting Everton, Sheffield United West Ham, Birmingham, and Arsenal.
They can shove their nursery rhymes up their arse.
37 premier League games for me next season.
