It's an exclusive club don't you know ;-) we can't be having too many yanks (particularly of the Floridian/ant London/ SOF loving kind spouting perversity on here, football would never get discussed ;-)

I thought that they all supported NYSE:MANU, otherwise known as Cayman United.

Or perhaps I'm wrong https://www.google.co.uk/finance?client=ob&q=NYSE:MANU

Question is how many United, Arsenal or Chelsea shirts have you spotted so far? Worry if you have seen a dozen of either of those and not a single one of City's ...

I saw a couple outside the ground at the weekend referring to us as "THE Manchester City", funnily enough.

I think they were having themselves some french fries and then going to the store to check out the new jerseys.

Go Citizens!!!

Where the fuck are you mr p?

City is gaining a fuckload of fans in the states. A fuck load.

I promise.

It's about 2-3 years and another prem title before we see the shirts to rival any of the other "artists formerly known as the top 4 until we smashed their back doors in. "

Yay!

I like it, don't understand it, not sure why they reset like rugby league(shitty version) but take forever to start playing again.

I like the beanbags the refs throw, expecially as you seem to have like a dozen of them and it's like they are all celebrating when someone does something wrong....which I never have any idea what it is.

the beanbags are good. Imagine if Bobby had a beanbag to throw when Vinnie got red carded vs. the scum? It would have been overturned.

It is not a surprise to me. A couple of years ago I would walk into a pub being the only one in sky blue, but that has changed a lot over the last few seasons. I very rarely see City shirts around, a lot of Chelsea, some scum, but no more than I did 5 years ago. I live in an area where most players are Latin, so you see a lot of Barca and RM shirts, not too mention a lot of Brazilian National Kits. The support is growing, but apparently not very overtly. If City were to open a store in Times Square that would change quickly.

I realize you are ranting about that Doomie Guy (who tried to drag me out for pints last night...I refused), but please don't lump all us Floridian blues with him, that boy is one of a kind, and should be isolated from the most of society. Besides he is from Pittsburgh!
