watching the game live at the Footnik bar in Ebisu,Tokyo (9-30 pm start local time) in my retro City shirt surrounded by curious but very friendly Japanese who were not - in the main-aware that there were 2 teams with the name Manchester.
Please call them Salford United from now on in polite communications. We need to deny them the right to use the Manchester name but without sounding like morons in the process.
Reclaim the name Manchester by just calling City "Manchester" from now on. It really opens an amusing can of worms when talking to foreigners about this matter! Also gets up the few ex pat reds who wil attend as wel- not that they know where Salford is you understand?
