Etihad is Arabic for "i don't give a fuck what it translates to".

discopop said:Talk Sport have just done quite a well balanced spot on this, the TS reporter explained the tie in with Ethiad pretty well without all the normal blind views,
I can't see whats not to like about any of it.
The likes of Holt obviously will not partake in the excellent hospitality ig gives to reporters on match days if he feels so strongly.

The naming rights aren't just for the stadium but for everything that will be around it. So UEFA have no reference point for market value.
If they try to counter this City will come up with something else and UEFA will spend all their time trying to stop us. Have they the will? I doubt it.
