Intend on getting to NYC at some point in the next 18 months. Never been stateside and the missus is scared of flying, but if she doesn't get over it she will miss out. Mad hatter top of my list of attractions to visit :-)

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 say the same as FB... was at some pubs in Hoboken (just outside NYC) recently for opening match weekend, and saw one Silva jersey..and City was not even playing that day... usually its just me in the City shirt, but its getting better man.

The first time I met another City fan stateside is when Benjani scored against the rags.. met a few at this bar FADO in philly.
Then that night on the subway, saw another fan that was a card holder.

Then met some great folks at the pre-season game v. Sporting a few years back.


I still need to get to the mad hatter in NY for a game...but yes - build a city store out here, please.

I live in Ohio and have been a city supporter for about five years now. In about to past two years I've noticed more support for city (which isn't much to start with in the first place) around my area. I see a ton of chelsea jerseys around and I have one friend who an arsenal fan. I've recently bought both of this year's jerseys and have quite a few people comment on them. It just sucks that there is no where to go to watch the games other than my house.

Yeah. Same here. I'm from Oregon and you can always find several City jerseys around the local MLS Stadium. Of course there are a lot more Rags and Chelsea kits, but that's too be expected. My friend told me he walked into a sports wear outlet the other day and found a Man City cap on the rack. That is also definitely a first.

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 ;-)

CHEERS


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!


What an orgy that would turn into. Doomster, give FB 15 minutes to work his magic and you'd have a smorgasbord of honeys begging for you. It's a shame he turned you down, he's just playing hard to get. That's his style you see.

Yea that's pretty surprising that he found that. And it wouldn't be so bad if there where others interested in the bpl but really my one good friend who is the arsenal fan is the only other person I know well that I can have an in depth conversation with about the bpl. Every other person is like herp derp chelsea or herp derp man u and I can't stand it.

I know absolutely no other fucking City fans near me.

Never have any other fans to watch matches with.

Watched the QPR match with about 25 other Blues in Dallas on Saturday.
We are trying to become an official supporters club.

Brilliant Doomy! We were at the Londoner in Frisco on Saturday. Usually a quiet atmosphere, but we had it rocking mate. We also do the Londoner in Addison, and a place called Churchills in McKinney, which is not far from Frisco. Our pub schedule is on that website above. You are welcome anytime, lad.

Fuck me. We will be meeting soon. Can't wait. Meeting new blue friends is a fucking milestone for me. Unless its florida blue and he seems supergay by not banging his hot south American roomie. Who is female. Or was. Not that he killed her. She is still living. I think.

I'd watch a film with Nigella in it. 90 minutes of her in a tight sweater, who the fuck cares what she does.



Ahh yes. Seems a while since we had a link to [youtube]RtS2Ikk7A9I[/youtube]

Golden house-sharing rule number 1. Don't fuck the furniture. I hate that rule. I missed out bad. Dumbass dazby.

alright...true story.

The first thing i ever fucked was my bed...lifted up the mattress, slide my wang in between the box spring and the mattress and pounded away. It was a feat i never repeated, but hey...i didn't get these skills just wanking away with the ole hand, or two.

cheers

True story. I moved into a 4 bed house with 3 femaies. One of them got a job elsewhere and as they were tight, they all moved out pretty close to the same time leaving me as the sole tenant. So I put an ad in the paper to get some tenants. I settled on 2 guys and a girl. The girl, I knew she liked me but because she was a housemate I didn't go there. Just after I got a girlfriend she let me know she was keen. I'd made a massive mistake. End of story.

if you're golden rule at this time was not to fuck the furniture, how on earth did you know that they were all tight??

having fathered 20lbs worth of baby in the last 3 years, i have forgotten what tight feels like.

or maybe my cock has shrunk?
