My mate's lad, who is 12, is a dipper supporter. Fair enough. He used to be a proper Red, though, but his God mother is a wheel stealer, so turned his head at an impressionable age. I guess I didn't see enough of him to fight it, lol! He has a United shirt that I bought him a while ago, though.
However, last night, just as the bitters score their 2nd, he texts me and says: "ha ha, we're going to win!" WTF????? He's a dipper and he is now claiming the bitters to be his team all of a sudden? I simply texted him back and asked if he was changing his scarf because his season was over?? Poor lad didn't get what I meant and said: "No it isn't. We're only half way through!" Bless him. Out of the Carling Cup, the FA Cup, the PL and only got the Europa league, which has become Europe's equivalent of the Johnson's Paint Trophy.
Rather than upset a 12 year-old, I turned my phone off!!!
