Dick Dastardly 1,044 Report post Posted June 8 (edited) Can I be pedantic and say that none of the London teams are based geographically in the city of London. Might need to check, but I think that United are geographically in Salford. Edited June 8 by Dick Dastardly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dick Dastardly 1,044 Report post Posted June 8 (edited) Technically Old Trafford is in Greater Manchester, but out side the boundaries of the City of Manchester. Being pedantic, the question was What are the 7 cities… so there are only 5 as the cities of Manchester and London can’t !

partickthedog 1,270 Report post Posted June 18 I am sure that I have heard the expression "nap hand" or "going nap" being used, but not being a card player, I am not sure what it means (without cheating by looking it up). Could it be 5? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
