I think being a miserable old git Is part of my blue birthright and my father and his father before him. Not the next one tho cause he was a Hearts of Midlothian fan before sensibly moving onto Mauldeth Rd from Edinburgh.
Sadly my mother was from Stretford which made her family Trafford Park Wanderers fans. Happily common sense prevailed and as my ma was never going to take me to a match I ended up going to see City lose at home In the early 70s - city 0 Sheffield Utd 1 I recall and was naturally won over by the implausibility of the cause before by young eyes. And cause it still is for whilst we are somewhat richer than the rest of the Premier league put together and then square that number we are still the club for misfits and lost souls which is why I like Balotelli and still think the 2-2 against Gillingham gave me a bigger rush, just, than the slaughter inflicted on Eammon Holmes favourite brand name in football.
