Watched the Swansea match in a bar in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote.
As we walked in, me wearing a City polo shirt, 4 lads on a table shouted "up the Swans". I asked them who they supported, and one said "yunoited" in a southern accent. I said that was pretty obvious from their accents, and then asked how many had ever been to Manchester. Surprisingly, they all shook their heads! They left just after the second goal went in.
Rags. Don't you just love them? (Best answers on a postcard to.......)
I was working on a ship in Kent that was full of plastic rags when we went down to the old third division[re-named the second then.] It was tea time and the messroom was packed,all the rags in one corner gloating and taking the piss. I said,''Ok lads i will take stick off any one of you who has actually been to Old Trafford.''.....Silence. I then said,''Ok i will make it a little easier.I will take stick off any one of you who has actually seen United play live.Anyone???'' Dumb silence and they were now looking a little sheepish and the whole messroom was silent.
I then said,''Well i have a season ticket for City, I go to every game when i am not working home and away and did when i lived in Kent for five years so you have no excuse.I was there when we were at the top and i will still be there next season and when you plastic knobs get off your arses and actually GO to a game you can give me stick,until then shut the fuck up!!'' The whole messroom except the plastics cheered and in spite of the relegation boy did it feel good!
