Episode Notes
Michael Carrick has said that, "do it for Frank” is unlikely to form part of his team talk as United head to West Ham this evening. But perhaps it should- as no one should be embarrassed the club like this kid has, while professing to be a real United supporter.
It is clear that when fan Frank Ilett vowed not to cut his hair until his team had won five games in a row, he did not expect to be approaching 500 days without stepping into a barber’s, or for his look to have grown quite so ridiculous, or to have accumulated more social media followers than some Manchester United first-team players.
After four consecutive wins, though, he is extremely close to his self-inflicted ordeal finally being over. We know he's not a real fan and wants this to carry on forever, however, all real United fans are praying we get it done today, so that he can piss back into obscurity.
