So what will the City of Manchester do to honour their football teams?

Will they have seperate parades for each team or will they have the balls to have one celebration for both teams and try and build some genuine Manchester pride in what the city has achieved this season.

The latter route would demonstrate much more civic leadership. Agree?

ok just to reiterate (as there are only a few Euro threads)

Did you have a nickname at school?.....

Do you mean what SHOULD they do, or what WILL they do?

What SHOULD they do?
Have a joint parade, for everyone to celebrate together, which then splits into separate celebrations for each club.

What WILL they do?
Have loads of punch-up between drunken rival fans, of course!

Yes Chris, sadly yes, that's what will happen!...............never the twain shall meet!.......

Your suggestion is a good one but I believe they'll have seperate celebrations for all the worst traditional reasons.

Why SHOULD they have a joint celebration, they are rival teams

You'll be suggesting Celtic celebrate with Rangers next.............

Although not a football addict, I would like to point out that last week Whitley Bay won the FA Vase for the third year on the trot. Some achievement, what? Apparently they're having a parade in an open-topped bus tomorrow, and if I'm lucky Gregg's will be hoying out free pasties. That's lunch sorted, then!

We didn't even get a parade when we won the Champions League last time. My guess is they will do nothing again.

It would be utopian to see two teams come together on behalf of the City......Liverpool and Everton would, I bet.

As to Whitley, congrats and enjoy, after the lunch, they may well have been posioned.....

Apparently there is a problem with the Machester City trophy cabinet - No one can remember where it is!

They could hold a Liverpool/ Everton parade on a weekday ;o)

You are right, Gromit, it was up for auction on e-bay sometime back.
