What if you're a Manchester United fan? Would an ordinary Mancunian who doesn't necessarily support one of the teams celebrate Man City winning the Premier League one year and Man United winning it another? *If Man United and Man City met in a cup final would that aforementioned ordinary Mancunian celebrate regardless of the result? Please explain.

I work at the edge of the parade route and didn’t bother going into the office today, not because the parade route would be busy (it won’t be) but because to road closures mean I can’t get from the office to any of the city centre tram stops so would have to walk home and I cba with that.

They must have the most plastic fan base right now.
