Ok so recap of my 2nd trip this yr to old trafford.
Landed in Manchester on friday and went straight to meet the players as they board the bus (if you are ever at a home game, go to the stadium about 5pm the day before and the players always come out to meet you)
Met Blind, Herrera, Mata, Januzaj and LVG.. everyone else just boarded the bus
Was geniunly impresse by how nice they all were.. mata kept talking to my wife.. i was quick to tell him she's married 
and we all laughed.. real class act.. as was everyone else.. signed anything we wanted.. plan to eventually get my kit framed

Headed to game couple hrs ahead, it was my wifes first United game and i wanted her to enjoy the whole atmosphere, so we headed to The Trafford for some pints. Our seats were way better then the ones I had vs QPR.. we sat so close she could "literally smell De Gea"... Great game and great result... happy to see Herrera shining, has become my favorite player... deff helped that he was extremely nice too.

After the game we went to Bishop Blaize which was
.. anyone debating going to Manchester.. just do it.. amazing city with so much to do. Didn't realize that the giggs/neville hotel had opened already right next to OT.. gotta stay there next time, heard great things.
cool story... we met a cab driver who was a huge city fan, but we got along great because "i was the only american he ever met who actually knew about football" apparently he has connections at both clubs and was able to get me tickets to the final home game vs arsenal.. at face value!!!.. so looks like I'll be back able to see another game before I leave.. Best trip I've had since Ive lived in Europe...
*sidenote Partynextdoor wasnt worth the money.. sadly

So beans, do you & your wife disagree with DdG's wife saying Manchester is like the back of a fridge? 
I bet beans is a nice guy like Mata, hence the ticket hook up from the cabbie...

I'm a lot more busy these days. Hence I do work on my laptop while watching footy and keeping a NT tab open to discuss, but I don't have the time to sit and get the vines and post anymore.
