As you can tell the only reason I was in Manchester was for a soccer game...yes football!
i have always been a Man U fan, since I left the womb so this was a dream for me to finally visit the <em>Theatre of Dreams</em> and see my heroes play. Really special was that in the current team two of the most dependable and important players are Irish, <em>Dennis Irwin</em> and <em>Roy Keane</em>.
United has always had a very strong Irish connection, from the great Johnny Carey to present day. Maybe this is why there are so many United supporters in Ireland. This will also explain why there are so manu ABU's in Ireland too!
I have many pictures to add and just a few tales to tell so please be patient and someday (hopefully) i will get to adding these pics.
Thanks for visiting.
ABU = Anybody But United, a popular club in Ireland where the members want any other team except United to win. We call ABU's a "shower of langers", learn this phrase , it may come in useful.

99% of the footballers want to play for United the only one who dont want is Ronaldinho. I will visit the home of football too one day. Theather of Dreams is occupied the Portuguese "Lord of the Dance" nowadays.
Great transportation tips! :-)
Manchester United is certainly a Mecca for football fans (but I grew up liking LIverpool!).
So are you into the World Cup? sorry Ireland went home alread
