Really it winds you up? It is just something that started out in Manchester for people to differentiate between that cities clubs & is used quite a bit nationally now. It is really no big shakes I would rather our club is refered to by it geographic part than the United bit.

Yeah, like everyone says, a proper centre-forward would have made this more interesting. Would probably have left City exposed at the back though, with one less defensive midfielder.
Aye, but taking one extra man off your lot in the process...
