This is how Americans view Mancunians

It’s very funny, particularly if you’re not from Manchester.

    That’s very good, as well as being funny it contains a deeper truth. Premise would work in just about any situation – music preferences, racism, israel/palestine, people in devon who think their identical cream tea is better than the cornish version etcetc

    I’m a non-Manc living in Manchester – it’s very accurate I would say!

    ‘Divvy’ is Scouse and ‘Plonker’ is Cockney? Nice to see the red outside Salford Lads Club though as Salford Utd is one of many local nicknames for United.

    @Worm. How fucking dare you?! We don’t ‘think’ our cream teas are better than the Cornish scum. THEY FUCKING ARE BETTER!

    I like it, but help me out here. What is it trying to say? Why should I watch ESPN?

    1. ESPN is unbiased sports coverage.
    2. Sports are crazy and so is ESPN.
    3. Every sports fanatic is more alike than different.
    4. ESPN understands sports fanatics.
    5. ???

    Steak

    I’d say it builds a mystique and a romance

    That’s an attractive proposition.

    So I should watch ESPN because it “builds mystique and a romance”? Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    Has a real honesty to it. Really nice. Be interesting to know if anyone from the UK worked on the brief. @Naughty Creative: hope you were being humorous in that comment. No one is that rude. Are they?

    No, you should watch English soccer, because as an American you are intrigued by it.

    The same way more people in the UK would watch American Football if they were intrigued by it.

    And you’d watch it on ESPN, because they have the coverage.

    Simple enough stuff.

    Americans…Mancunians…how very middle class. Try Septics and Mancs if you want to be more street. Word.

    W+K NY you say?

    Flat caps off to em for insight I’d say.

    Oh, and my AD is a raging Manc, who’s held a City season ticket for as long as he can remember, and he pissed himself.

    Well, I say piss. Maybe it was Boddingtons…
