I've been with my wife for 25 years. When I 1st met her I told her, on a Saturday morning when she mithered about me going to a game, that I'd been watching Saints long before I met her & if the case arose, I'd been watching them long after she'd been forgotten. She spoke to my mum that afternoon who told her that I meant it.
She's never mithered about Saints since, except when I started going again after my banning order was lifted, but that was understandable.
