Rat boy and redknapp are here. Haven't yet seen spitty. And Tyler.

I wrote something in KOTK a few years back about this. Someone told me that united insisted on their full title so that's what I wrote.

Stuart Brennan kindly contacted me and explained that the Trinity Mirror SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) team had worked out that printing the full united name got significantly more hits than 'man utd' whereas it didn't make any appreciable difference with us. So that's why they do it.

So to accommodate the gloryhunters , should be obvious really.

Isn't this something to do with the club branding itself as Man City, rather than Manchester City. Wouldn't be surprised to hear this is club driven.

If it is, it's a mistake imo, and a bit of an insult to local fans.

The MUEN is a well established insult to local fans.

Would that not be the name of G-D?

I am not sure what you mean lol

but I found this and the reason the guy gave is in there.

It was to do with erasing or destroying God's name, so if it was written on paper and somebody threw the letter away then it would be destroying his name, apparently a more modern interpretation of an old script.

Why do some Jews write "G-d" instead of "God"?

Writing "G-d" instead of God is a fairly recent custom in America. Here are its origins.

Still, it all seems a bit much to me tbh.

MEN : “MANCHESTER United squad v MAN City revealed”
Are we both not MANCHESTER?

You make a good point. Also it is the MUEN's house style to refer to 'United and City' in any reference. Most people would say 'City and United' just because it scans and sounds better. Not them though. They have been inextricably linked to the rags for decades.
However, that is the least of the MUEN's problems. Most people wonder how or why it continues to exist.
