I am having this debate with a mate of mine, the question is either become a manc fan or never watch football again... I know it's a ridiculous hypothetical question but he'd prefer to become a manc fan and I said that nothing will ever make me become a fan of them!What would you do?
Take your pick mate: Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan, or if you're really stuck, there's always Manchester City. And that's only in the PL.
I cant imagine a situation ever arising that I would be put in such a position other than perhaps a gun to the head and then Id opt for never watch football again without question.
Support the mancs? feck that. 3 seasons ago when Everton were ahead of us in the league they were playing the mancs at home. We really needed the mancs to win, so I tried cheering for them, I felt dirty, cheap and awful. Having to do that every week would be tragic.
Thats one secret you should keep to yourself. I only didnt want Liverpool to win once when we played Blackburn at home on the last day of the season and they needed to win to win the league from the Mancs who were playing West Ham, It was for the greater good and didnt effect our season and Kenny was the Blackburn manager so I could justify it to myself. I could never in good concience ever actively want the Mancs to win anything even a game of tiddlywinks
For me, I was supporting us that day, and hoping that West Ham could do us and Blackburn a favour. It worked.
