Man Utd. 

Trust me, Citeh-ManUre matches in all competitions are going to become as regular and tedious as Liverpool-Forest was in the late 70s, Liverpool-Everton in the mid 80s and Arsenal-Leeds in the early 90s.  It's already nailed on for the Europa League later this season.

It's a strong nod by the football authorities, rewarding us for our location between London and Manchester.

It seems a long time ago since we knocked back the Olympics because we had plans to redevelop the ground next summer.

Surprisingly, pulling out of hosting Olympic football has a nice couple of positives.

1. Allows us to host the Community Shield
2. Allows us to host a Team GB football team friendly
