Ahh fair play. That explains it then! I can see US really coming on in the next 20 years though. I know it seems a long time but its only a few turn-overs of players.


Turn-overs? Isn't that the other football?

I'm interested in doing a survey for the site of City shirts in the Orlando area, as I didn't see any when there last year. So if you can all just send me £50, I'll let you know if I find any.

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!


Whoa! Wait a minute, nothing wrong with Pittsburgh. I've ran into a couple of city fans here, but they are few and far between. See many Barca shirts and a few ManU, but not too much of anything else.



C & C just messing with Doom, my entire family is from the 'burgh, great place to be from.

Kind of hate the ridiculing undertone in some of the posts. I didn't see anyone making fun of anything when we desperately tried to break the Chinese markets ten years ago when we were skint and needed the money. In fact the concensus back then and even earlier was basically "the more, the merrier".

New supporters is what you get with bit of success. I think we should accept and even cherish that fact. So as far as I'm concerned, welcome all the American blues.

Now where is that topic "Things about American culture I don't understand" I once started?
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

you're so right. we should be applauding tony p for his extensive market research efforts.

pretty sure the rags recently published a study that showed they were by far and away the best supported club in the world. my guess is that they used someone like tony to gather data for that pile o shite...

ps - tony.... other than market research, what is the purpose of your visit to the us?

Numbers on that study were ridiculous.... I wouldn't questiont he fact that rags probably ARE the most supported (/fancied/liked) club in the world. Only Barcelona probably come even close.

Frisco, TX -- 0 yesterday, 0 so far today, tho it's early doors to be fair, and i AM going to go out for lunch as well.

Orlando florida Sunday tho? 2, including my fat ass in a sexy gray training top, and a bloke wearing a shirt from 2 seasons ago. We made bromantic eye contact from across the mall and gave a knowing head nod, which is about as American as it gets. Usually the type of Englishman wearing his City kit abroad in FL breaks out into song upon seeing me, and introduces me to his entire "Hills Have Eyes"-looking family, and tries to invite himself to my house, or invites me to theirs, etc.

alright, i made some of that up, but not all of it!

cheers

Purpose of the trip is to visit friends and see New England. I was just curious if I would see any other Blues over here. Nothing scientific about my methods.

All 3 of the new shirts will be seen in Orlando over the coming few weeks, and a fair few of the old ones too, can't wait!

Doomy, we will be in Frisco next Tuesday for Real Madrid. Two Brothers Grill. Should be at least a handful of us.
