You know you're a blue when........

[urban genie]

You can laugh at disappointment, without an inquest or regret, just a shrug and thoughts of "typical" as you order your next ale.


Also when you only hate united, but have a distain for spurs

i knew i was a city fan before i even knew what city were about,,many many years back i was given one of those rattle things that spun round and made a noise,written on it in red ink the words Chalton,Best,United etc etc,,aged 4 or 5 i looked at it and was instantly suspisious although at that age i didnt even know who Best was,i knew where my mum kept the matches and i knew where their were some old news papers so i promptly burnt it at the back of the garage

...You haven't let any of your 4 kids wear red ever.
Even if the eldest is 30 with 3 kids herself who also aren't allowed to wear red.

..the slightest smell of stale cigarette smoke takes you back to walking through the main stand turnstyles at Maine road when you were an 8 year old kid

When the 'Wowcher' advert comes on telly and starts with "I'm so excited..." and you automatically join in with "I hate united"...

Every time. Never fail. Recently extended to add:

"They've just lost another game and I think I like it"

... you've turned down some guaranteed leg-over in favour of watching a City game, in a pub, on your own, in London, no other City fans there, and it was 0-0.

When you get the car mechanic to take the 4 replacement tyres back off as they were a brand that at the time were sponsoring the rags.

Me: “I told you not to put that brand on when I left the car with you ”

Him: “ but I thought you were only joking!”

The toilet simply isn't the same unless you're inhaling 50 fags worth of smoke at that very moment.

"Tonight Matthew, I'm going into 117 for a joint"

 

[There is a Light]

Even after going 20 times, when anyone sings “Wembley, Wembley” you still finish it with “it’s a shitty place in London that we’re never gonna see”
