Manchester - Capital of Football

[TopDeck113]

Capital of football?  Not this week at least!

[The Laughing Policeman]

After tonight?

I've been working with BBC Sport on their move to Salford and there are more Villa fans working for BBC Sport than either of the Manc sides.

Mind you "Media City Salford" is a massive uninspiring hell hole that you can't get the irregular running tram out of fast enough... Pity anyone who has had to move to work there.

Indeed, it's said that Tevez isn't the only one who feels that Manchester isn't what it says on the tin.

Is this one of those threads about things we're accused of being obsessed about it aren't really? 🙄🙄

Madrid. 2 teams contesting last years CL final and a couple of years ago too.

[Dave Cooper please]

Haven't they had every single one of their FA Cup ties televised for something like ten years in a row or something? No matter how shit the tie is?

If you support United you probably should stay in your armchair as the alternative is probably a two hundred mile round trip to actually go to the game.

54 consecutive televised live FA Cup ties, including replays, going back to 2005.

So each of there last 54 FA cup games have been televised live? I always say nothing surprises me too much when it comes to football but seriously you have to be winding me up or got your figures wrong somewhere. That is F***ing unbelievable. Knowing you I am sure you have your facts right but you have absolutely staggered me with those figures.

Thought so. Fucking amazing isn't it? Not surprising of course but still fucking amazing.

I am literally still sat here shaking my head. I know they are probably the club who attract the biggest TV audience around the country but even so. To use my young daughter's phrase 'Totes Amazeballs'.
