Blood may be thicker than water, but it's nowhere near as thick as one's love for a football team. Or at least that is what one Manchester United fan believes. He has made his brother sign a contract renouncing all support for his beloved blue Manchester City before agreeing to stem cell transplant surgery. The red-brother certainly had fun drawing up the contract which included clauses such as what colour clothes can be worn by the suffering sibling and even the colour scheme of his house ... you've guessed it ... red. An English psychologist once told me it is easier to get a man to change religion than his football team. Bone marrow, of course, is a different (t)issue altogether.
