    Yes, strange but true! ....but not at Old Trafford.

    The City of Manchester Stadium has been renamed Etihad Stadium after their sponsors but apparently 'Etihad' means 'United' in Arabic (from United Arab Emirates).

    So not only will Man City be playing in United Stadium they will also have United plastered over the front of their shirts.

    **** it. I'd be happy enough for us to play in shirts with Cardiff.com on the front if they paid us £30m a season to do it.
