"And dont call me a plonker, united isnt in Manchester.... any more than Oldham and Bury are, the fact that they are in some political map made up in recent times called Greater Manchester doesnt mean it is in Manchester. Ask someone from Salford or Trafford where they come from... they dont say Manchester, they say Salford, Trafford. Now off you trot you bitter red.... and what is Chitty... lol, thats a new one. or do you mean Citeh? "

If you gladly hold on to some old fashioned ideal that manchester is just as it was in the 1950's then maybe thats why you had to buy the title? Move with the times, manchester is one of the most diverse, clutural cities on the planet and if the city went with your ideas obviously would be stuck in the 1960's like chitty are it seems


i forward a link to educate you and hopefully it will enlighten you as to the name manchester and not just a befuggled mindset that chitty fans really have

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Manchester

LOL..

I live there... lived here all my life!! what dont you understand?  what in that link is any different to what I said

whats funny is the answer is staring you in the face in the link... look to the right and down a little (the metropolitan map)... see that map and see how trafford, salford and manchester are listed separately...?  getting it yet?

Bury isnt in manchester, nor is Oldham, Rochdale, Trafford or Salford.

And trust me... NOBODY says they come from Greater Manchester, as Greater Manchester is a politically manufactrured extention (1980's) of what is and was Lancashire in ALL of our eyes.  There is no Greater Manchester council, no Greater Manchester mayor... nothing.

get a grip... you are way off here.

 

once again... I DO NOT SUPPORT CITY... and dont patronise me, I love this City and everything about it, especially how it rebuilt itself to become the second city following the IRA bomb.  Now, where do you come from and who do you support?  a truthful answer would be nice.

 

 

So without all the above towns integrated into greater manchester then add on the massive benefits manchester has had from united being successfull for so long do you really think the old manchester would matter anymore without these, NO!

Lets face it whoever you support united have given a lot more to manchester than it's (in your eyes) own team. Without united i bet sheik manboobs wouldnt have even heard of manchester LOL

You'd prefer to have manchester live in the "good old days of 1974" eh? Well you stick to that mate and just be glad there are others that thought different and made manchester as good as you believe it to be today

Edit i forgot to say i dont follow football as i went off it when the money plowed into became obscene and it was taken away from the fans
