Well, in 2008 there was more United fans with an M postcode than City fans, so I'd say that it was a myth. There's even 2 on this forum, myself and right-track. The team with the most fans outside of the city/town is Liverpool.

Rafael and Anderson were the men of the match.
But Rio was outstanding.

Ridiculous penalty decision, but I wouldn't have complained if he put it in the back of the net.
The ball nearly hit my FFS.
The clown.

Well Rio was the man of the match actually. You can't argue with Barclays.

Liverpool? Shocking. What an earth would you see in them unless your a scouser. I suppose they have history. But it's not like the Beatles have got a goal scoring record too.

What is the atmosphere like in Old Trafford? The home fans always strike me as being fairly quite through my TV. Maybe it's mostly a kid/family affair?

I can, Rafael was everywhere.
Fast becoming the best RB in the league.
And Anderson's improvement has been great - energetic, linked up well, made runs, good passing. But Rio was outstanding as well, so assured.

The atmosphere at a lot of home grounds isn't the best, Stoke and Newcastle are the exceptions. Their fans are great home and away.
When you've got a fan base like United's (sizeable) you get a lot of daytrippers coming to Old Trafford. Our away support is far better.
For the big games, our home support is wonderful.
I sometimes get extremely pissed off with them moaning all the time because of a loose ball in midfield 5 minutes into the game, but for the most part it's decent. When we're playing against someone a bit shit on a cold dreary night the atmosphere can be terrible.

In how many other professions do you practically bankrupt your past employer, and then get offered a better job?

Fifa president Sepp Blatter says he wants to set up an anti-corruption committee to police world football's governing body.
The move comes after allegations of corruption dogged Fifa throughout the bidding process and voting for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Blatter said: "This committee will strengthen our credibility and give us a new image in terms of transparency.
"I will take care of it personally, to ensure there is no corruption at Fifa."

John Terrys face today.
Funniest thing i've seen all Christmas and New Year.
In fact , funniest thing i've seen since "that" penalty miss.
Still not ruling 'em out of the title yet though.
