The Etihad Arena - bye bye COMS

[Deleted member 14625]

Isnt Etihad Arabic for United!?

No, it's Arabic for Unity or Federation. Already covered in the same topic if you bothered to read it.

Obviously i havent bothered to read it have i!?
and look at this:
Unity noun "state of being one; intergated; united"
Federation noun "a union of several states, provinces; united states"
...it may as well say united, they all mean the same bastard thing!

oh my God we are gonna have United in big fuck off letters on our kit and we'll be playing in the United stadium! It's started, we're changing! NOOOOOOOOOO!

;)

We? Don't you have AIG on yours?

Well since im sat here in a fuckin blue shirt with brother on the front it doesnt say AIG you tart, dont insult me like that again! :)

Manchester City FC have secured a record sponsorship deal with Etihad, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates. Etihad will replace Thomas Cook as shirt and stadium sponsors from the 2009-2010 season. The City of Manchester Stadium is set to be rebranded as The Etihad Arena, in an attempt to duplicate the success of The Etihad Stadium, located in Melbourne, Australia.

The new deal is rumoured to be the biggest in English football, beating AIG'S £56 Million deal with Manchester United

for those of you who are still thinking it might be real someonecame to the conclusion a few pages back that the date and day on the OP didn't match therefore the whole thing was made up. I agree tbh.
