This week end i went to Manchester for the first time in an awful long time maybe 23 years.The reason was John Joyce"s 50th birthday celebrations.The whole week end was fun but i got to see football from the point of view of real fans.Fathers,sons,wives,girlfriends,daughters,grannies even, all arrived at the Willow Tavern at 12.30 on Sat morning to get on the coach to the game,pay their £3.50 and wait for the coach to leave at 2.15.The crack was mighty in the pub,all were decked out in the sky blue of City or the latest away kit or really old kits that defy time,but these people men and boys,women and daughters had one thing in common they are so proud of their team,not in a boorish we hate everyone but our team way,but a funny light hearted serious sort of way,now i know that sounds contradictory but its not.These are people from the hard side of life,who show all that is good in life.They appreciate the joys of life and that afternoon they got a bellyfull of appreciation,with City beating a very very good Arsenal team by 4-2.The atmosphere in that stadium was electric,but i felt apprehension and a really not quite so sure we are good sort of feeling around until the third and fourth goals went in,then their was an outpouring of joy and out came all the songs,made up on the spot,very witty songs,very funny songs.We then went back to the Willow where about 10 Man Utd fans were watching their team play Spurs , there was light hearted banter but thats all,no bother.A great pub is the Willow Tavern,not swanky in any way but its got soul.
