Well, at the time my Grandparents were in Manchester it would have been just after the suspension of play for most teams due to the war. In all reality we really don't know who my Grandfather cheered for; my Mom was too young and my Grandmother died a long time ago. It's almost certain he was a United fan but he did try out for both clubs as a walk on. Who knows.

Now where were we? Ah, yes. Your family were United fans.

I would say most Canadians (North Americans in general) have fairly flimsy reasons to support PL teams. You at least have a connection historically (even if you selected the wrong side!)

Stiff upper lip, chap. I'm sure United will find a way to advance. (snicker) In the europa league.

Will any game at old trafford be awesome or are there certain teams/games/nights more worthwhile?

One of my grandmothers comes from Manchester so I kind of cheer for United though I think of them as the Yankees of the Premier League.

So wait, did you actually plan and go to Old Trafford to see United, and then chose City? I have no idea how posters remember posts like that, and even under a different username, but I always find that hilarious!

Big win for Spurs, and Leicester can pretty much start focusing exclusively on CL.

This City/Celtic game has been really entertaining. 3-3 with 30 minutes left.
