At least he’s used to gormless looking fans to make him feel at home.

True story:

After we beat Brighton 4-1 at their gaff on the last day of the 2018-19 season to take the title ahead of The Anfield Road Formation Brick Throwers Society, t't wife and I were having dinner in Heaton Moor with some friends who included a United supporting chum (who despite his allegiance is a really decent cove!)

The conversation turned to our squad versus United's and players likely to be brought in etc. My chum offered that we'd like to take Pogba from them to fill the vacancy left by Yaya's leaving the Summer before (I know, I know.. the mind boggles!), while Pep would also be interested in young Scott McTominay, who'd just broken into to the team at Old Trafford as a regular selection.

'You'd love him in a sky blue shirt' said my chum. 'Only if it was playing for Napoli or Lazio!' came my reply.

Bl**dy prescient sometimes, moi! If only I could have the same success rate with the Lottery numbers..

The locals are looking forward to him signing. Move over Diego, Napoli has a new God…

Think they might have. This is a proper Neapolitan welcome. Love the relaxed drive up to the stadium.

Good fucking riddance!

I wonder what he'll be saying when he signs for Forest Green Rovers in a couple of years?

Fossil Fuels are killing the planet?

A young rag fan just starting secondary education is now working and has been for 3 years and has never seen the rags lift the PL trophy.

Soon it'll be his children who wont remember anything because it isn't going to happen. That "Not in my lifetime" barb from the whisky stained pisshead didn't age well.

I've noticed a change in their attitudes, as well. My nephew was forced to support them, but he's a sound lad, relishes what triumphs they have, but isn't under any illusions about them being TWGC or other toxic tosh that Ferguson tried to instill.

Same with one of my work collegues. 20 years old, doesn't really remember 2013, bit cocky but also nowhere near as knobbish like the 35+ generations are. If anything he feels like he's been brought up to believe a lie, one he has no ammunition to back up given recent history.

When I was his age, all a Rag would need to say is "City are shit!" and i'd have to counter it with banter of my own. Now when a Rag says "City are shit!" I only have to respond with "How?" and it usually shuts them up.

Usually.
