Named Tom and I am a Manc so easy !!Red till Dead by the way !!!
re: How did you get your screen name?
Come on Tom, if you are truly a manc you would be a Blue. Everyone knows that there are no Reds within 50 miles of Old Trafford.I reckon you're from Oxford or some such....

Jez has lit the touch paper and hopefully retreated to a safe distance
Good luck

re: How did you get your screen name?
I'm not very imaginative and somebody else had used what I probably might have used so went with my initials M J and sometimes in other places MDJ
re: How did you get your screen name?
Mick cos it's my name, and my friends think I never had the plot, let alone lost it.Jez, you will be known as pigbite in March.
re: How did you get your screen name?
Are we going to have to copy the invasion's lead and setup call signs then? Is it too early for a March 2/3 roll call?re: How did you get your screen name?
Jez, Jez,
How little you know, this rumor has was started by quarter of the city that is blue,
Whenever I’m outside of Manchester and I get talking to whoever, the topic will usually turn to football. It’s not long before I’m talking about United. “You’re from Manchester? I thought proper Mancs supported City.” If I had a quid for every time I heard this I’d be almost as loaded as the Arabs at Wastelands!
Whilst City fans might enjoy going down south or abroad and claiming all ...

Whilst City fans might enjoy going down south or abroad and claiming all Mancs support City, they’d be embarrassed to make such a claim within the city. You only have to go to a pub on match day, in the centre or in the suburbs, to see just how many United fans there are in Manchester. Head out to Stockport and it’s a different story though!
A report in 2001 showed that 7,808 of the season ticket holders at Old Trafford lived in ‘M’ postcodes, compared to the 6,678 Maine Road season ticket holders with ‘M’ postcodes. Obviously, proportionally, that means City had a higher percentage (40% of their season ticket holders were from Manchester, compared to the 29% of United’s), but it does show how many more Mancs have season tickets at United compared to City.
The most popular area for United season ticket holders was Sale (M33), with 3% of all holders coming from this area, which is roughly five miles from the ground and about 10-15 minutes in the car, and just three stops on the met. The most popular area for City season ticket holders was Cheadle (SK
, with 4% of all holders coming from this area, which is also roughly five miles from the ground.
Comedian Jason Manford, who you’ll know if you’ve seen 8 Out Of 10 Cats, is a Salford-born blue. Last night he was on Jonathan Ross and was asked about his football support. After already taking the piss out of the City mugs who showed up with the tea-towels on their head, doing their very best ‘walk like an Egyptian’ impressions, he had to explain the differences between United and City to Ross.
“City is the team for proper Mancunians though, right?” Ross asked. Manford paused rather awkwardly and confessed that actually there were loads of United fans in Manchester (comparing us to rats, saying you were never more than a few feet from one of us!) and that the myth about City fans and Manchester wasn’t true.
If even the City fans are fessing up, then maybe we are actually getting somewhere. But I won’t rule out the chance of ignorant southerners again questioning my support or giddy bitters continuing to spread the Manchester myth!
I rest my case, unless you require me to further your education Jez !!!!!

Class - hook, line and sinker!Thanks for that Manc Tom. I do indeed retreat back to my box, suitably chastised.
When are you in Boro? I owe you a pint for class entertainment and the superb attention to detail in your response.
