As an aside, those that think the ESL in any reformed version is a good idea should read this post. This is what it would become. If City are not involved I wouldn't care if the dippers played Madrid in New York with a 'fan' of NY Giants, dippers, Glentoran (his gran'mamma came from their, it's a little village in Wales) and fcum......That's just reminded me ...
Was at the NFL game at Tottenham on Sunday. Jacksonville Jaguars were playing Miami Dolphins and I basically gave zero fucks who won, just wanted to see a good game. Until ...
Just before the start, a middle-aged bloke on his own came and sat down next to my daughter wearing a Dolphins shirt. Immediately stated to everyone around him (in a strong Welsh accent) that he'd had a terrible weekend. A nearby steward (being kind) asked if he was alright? Oh yeah, the guy said, it's just that all my teams have lost this weekend so far.
Steward (quizzically): "All your teams???"
Rag: "Yeah, Man United, Cardiff, FC United, Fort William ..." (he listed several more but didn't hear him for laughing)
Steward: "Excuse me for saying but you don't sound very Mancunian?"
Rag: "Oh no, I'm from Cardiff. But I've supported United since I was 5. FC United are the team founded by grassroots supporters a few years ago. So now my teams are in order: FC United, Cardiff, United, ..." (again didn't hear the remainder of the list as pissing myself by this stage)
Steward (trying to stifle laughter himself): "Right mate, well I hope you have a nice day today"
Me and my daughter suddenly became the biggest Jaguars fans in the world and celebrated like mad when they won with the very last kick of the game. Whereupon the rag stormed off in a huff shouting "that's fucking typical".
Put the icing on the cake of what was a wonderful weekend!!!
But if City were involved it would mean the end for me.
