I got into a conversation once with a guy who told me "he was United through and through" whatever that means, so I asked him how many times he had seen them play live?
I've been up for the ground tour he said with my kids in the summer holidays
I think I started talking about the Yen against the dollar at that stage, you meet tossers like this all the time, I just change the subject, these muppets would claim undying support for Rochdale if a wealthy sheik bought them and turned them into Champions league winners
