Not getting at either of you, but it always seems odd to me that just because they are the biggest, people refer to them as just "united" or "City", when there are many other clubs with each of those ending, not just the Manchester pair.

I know it is absolutely common usage, but it just feels odd to me, particularly when my team is also "City" (Swansea of that ilk).

Even just in the Premier league, Leicester are also "City", and both Newcastle and Leeds are "United"

But man city and man utd, have been refereed to as city and utd for many many years….Swansea, Leeds and Leicester haven't.

since i can remember swansea was always refered to as the Swans and cardiff the bluebirds. Leicester and Leeds as far as i am aware have never been called city or utd respectively.

I mean even the manchester fans themselves chant united, united, united at every game. Leeds chant is Leeds, Leeds, Leeds…..or as we like to call them in this neck of the woods Dirty Leeds. And city fans chant city, city, city…..so i suppose yeh, its easy for us to refer to them as that, when they do it as a club themselves.
