I (still) care too much
Time to finally disengage, but how? Get your tiny violins out for the glory hunting Man Utd fan. If you’re into football, you’ll know that ‘my’ club – like I have any involvement at all – has been diabolically shit for ages. I arbitrarily pledged my allegiance to United at around the age of 5.
