  2. Why not? He was a kid ffs. I honestly don't get why lifelong united and Liverpool fans get so much **** especially when there was a family influence.

    Kustard is a proud racist so is rightly mocked for various things including being a glory hunter and almost impossibly stupid.

    Ain't sad mate it's a decent record to have. I love away days, always try going when I can.

    What's been your favourite?

    Aside from one of the West Ham's (Dier 94th min winner on his debut, celebrations were mad), Wolves is definitely up there for me. Got an Asda right next to the stadium so everyone was just getting cheap cans and bottles from there then a 2 minute walk to the ground, was a 3-3 score line as well so a great match to watch, there was also a tribute to Dean Richards before the match as he passed away not long before the fixture.

    It doesn’t sound great but looks like I’ll be taking your word for it for a couple of years at least. Not got a great record in Yorkshire personally though we did beat Leeds on my one visit and they’re huge.

    Favourite QPR away ground was probably Goodison. It helped that we won but I like any unique ground. Nothing worse than those identical grounds all built at a similar time, nowhere near anything.

    Had a funny day in Torquay but they’re no longer FL.

    The proper **** towns like Luton and Gillingham take some beating but then there are places still in 1973 like Sunderland and Rotherham.

    My families from Kashmir ways. If and when I'm over, any new additions are watching utd games with me. A couple are utd fans as a result. But never even been to England

    I don't see a problem considering utd probably doing more for the asism markets abroad than home

    Always gets me how my relatives abroad have sat dishes the size of outer space ones and get to watch prem matches for free. Where as we are screwed over

  9. As far as supporters go, they don't come any more authentic than me, yeah?

    Do I have a season ticket? Like **** do I.

    I'll only go to a match if I get a VIP invite.

    Whirly bird in. Whirly bird out.

    Sorted.

    Champagne and smoked salmon sandwiches.

    I can't fit in my old Spurs shirt at the moment, but I'm currently working on that. Still, I like to take it with me, so that I can kiss the badge every now and then.

  10. To be fair it was our first game of the season, good train journey up, nice pie in the ground, and good beers with the home fans and we won. And therest a slightly camp statue of Harold Wilson in the town square. What more do you want?

    Grigg was born into an Aston Villa-supporting family and supported the club up until the age of seven, when he joined Birmingham City and changed his allegiances
