@manchester-munch Thank you for your post Manny.
I hope you don't mind me asking you a couple things, just out of curiosity .
By all means, answer back only if you want to.-
I thought you were an English guy but after reading on your forum profile :
" A yank that loves football " , I was surprised tbh. So are you English or American?
I understand that you were born in Manchester. So how come you moved to USA ? -
Is Manny a nick coming from your beloved Manchester or is it your real birth name ? ( No info on your game profile )
P.S. I had to google the word munch. Means : chew noisily or crunch etc.
Got my attention as well, Manchester Munch.

@manchester-munch Wow, did not know about your DC United connection Manny, or I forgot boss.
What do you think to Rooney possibly moving there? You will be able to see an ex Man U player at the tail end of his career.

@hans-orf Hi StewArt !
Our friend obviously lives in Washington, D.C. nowadays. I was wondering if he misses his birth town..
Really ? Rooney's moving to DC ? -
@supernova-8 I knew he was State side, darling Capri. He is our crew boss.
And here is the news -

@hans-orf Oopsy!
Sorry Stew. My bad then dear Aqua . -
@supernova-8
To respond to your questions- My dad was in the US army, I was born in Maryland and then went to the UK when I was 3 or 4. We (My dad and I) would go to every United game we could for the 6 years of his service in the UK. So I grew up in my younger years in Manchester. From then on, my family moved back to Maryland (the state right next to DC) and I've lived there ever since. Whenever I talk to my buddies in the UK, they always refer to me as a 'misplaced yank', so I've owned up to the name ever since.
- Manny is derived from Manchester.
I do sort of miss Manchester, but I love the states. There are so many adventures here, but there are so many adventures all around the world.

@manchester-munch Thank you so much for your reply Manny.

Greece football is full with criminal managers and club founders.

what a competition i hope the Paok and other team get banned from the FIFA.

Might not be a high profile manager or one of the bigger player transfers. But considering Derby have to do some restructuring and hopefully, this is a long-term appointment; Lampard is a great asset and no slouch -
Already brought in Jody Morris from Chelsea for his backroom staff, and with their connections, we could some more EPL related appointments -

A focus on the academy, Derby having one of the best in the country, could see talent like Hughes to hit our screens.
What preseason-transfers excite you the most about you FCotH?

You never forget your first love! And for me that was, is, and always will be, God's Own Team, Tottenham Hotspur. Hard to believe I've been following them for 47 years now, since I saw the 1971 League Cup Final win on TV as a nipper. That was my first exposure to English football. Since then I have added many teams to the portfolio, my hometown team in Northern Ireland, Lisburn Distillery, who've plummeted down the divisions since I moved away, Dundalk in the Republic of Ireland, Cowdenbeath in Scotland then PSG, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid in Europe. And since my move to the United States in 2013, I've added two more, Portland Timbers and Pittsburgh Riverhounds, the latter being added just last year when I visited the city, and where I moved to in March of this year. Portland play in the MLS, while Pittsburgh play in the USL, which is basically the second division, although there is no promotion/relegation. But if ever any of my other teams play Spurs, it'll be Spurs I'll be cheering on. Glory! Glory!

@tommy-timbers Ah, Happy to meet another American here!
I'm down in Maryland, near DC. Do you keep up with MLS? -
@manchester-munch Hi Buddy! Actually, I'm a blow-in from Ireland, but moved to the Pittsburgh area at the start of March this year, having lived in Martinsburg, Charles Town and Harpers Ferry (all West Virginia) for a few years before that. I do follow the Portland Timbers in the MLS and went daft the night we won the MLS Cup a couple of seasons ago! We even went in to DC once to see them play DC United, but we got spanked 4-0 that night in 115% heat. Been to see the Pittsburgh Riverhounds 3 times. Cheers!
