That could be true. It's very difficult to judge these things. During my 7 years in the UK, I used to watch European/International football a lot with my friends/acquaintances. Therefore, I assume most would be familiar with the "big names.I may be wrong but I'd have thought most City fans don't watch that much football that doesn't involve City or teams in the P/L. I certainly never watch German, French, Spanish or Italian games, nor many C/L games that don't involve English teams.
