This Catholic / Protestant thing is bollocks! No matter how hard anyone tries to shoehorn City and Unit$d into this artificial separation, it just won't happen - us Mancs are too streetwise for this.
And as an Irish Catholic Manc myself, I always thought if anything, we were a Jewish club anyway!
Nice post.
However, I don't think our owners would regard us as a Jewish club somehow.
United had a definite catholic connection during the Busby era (i.e. Louis Edwards) - apparently all the players had to go to church in Didsbury on Sunday. Other than that I reckon its bollocks too.
