大曼彻斯特区是英格兰足球的首府，也是足球起源的地方。1888年4月英格兰足球联赛正式在曼彻斯特成立。我们的职业球队包括两支顶级球队和其他五支较低级别联赛的球队，他们正在把这座城市介绍给全世界的观众。我们的足球俱乐部代表着大曼彻斯特地区的精华；那就是这里的社区氛围、奋斗精神、文化遗产和群众的激情。”

The Greater Manchester area is the capital of English football and the place of origin of football. The English Football League was formally established in Manchester in April 1888. Our professional team consists of two top teams and five other lower-level teams, who are introducing the city to audiences around the world. Our football club represents the essence of Greater Manchester; that is the community atmosphere, the spirit of struggle, the cultural heritage and the passion of the masses. "

WOW ^^^^^^^^.
And yet hardly a mention in the media over here !!

 

[Oystercatcher28]

Yes, it has barely touched mainstream media. China Daily, Goal.com, and a few small other outlets. City said in November 2015 that they have massive plans for China, after Premier Xi Jinping visited Manchester. Odd that BBC etc have skipped it. I guess the ManU loving media and Mourinho are saving it for the weekend's press conference as an excuse.

 

[Blue Til Death]

If someone wrote a book or made a film about this rise from the ashes since 2008, I dare say not many of us would have believed it.... It’s stunning what our owners have done, their vision has outstripped most Blues expectations and then some... The whole thing is a bloody miracle and it’s insane that they saw the potential in us.. My old man who’s supported City since the early 50’s, literally can not comprehend the club, the team and our success, he’s not on his own either, spoke to Buzzer and Skip recently and they are the same ....
All this and still we moan :-)) CTWD

 

[Oystercatcher28]

A good moan is part of our fabric. Nobody can come here and not put a shift in.

Very good, but will we be getting bigger and better Noodle Sponsors?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Very good, but will we be getting bigger and better Noodle Sponsors?

It’s so, so important that we have only the best Noodle company behind us. We’re so, so close.

 

[Oystercatcher28]

It’s so, so important that we have only the best Noodle company behind us. We’re so, so close.

And that our noodle imports are Brexit-proofed.

 

[Oystercatcher28]

Now, I have heard Chengdu's new 'Metro City FC' is getting closer and closer to being formally announced... Although solid information is hard to find.

PS - updated the first page.


Anything more to add?
