Yep! It's also refered to as a "Twin City"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle

Twin Cities

* Bergen — Norway
* Groningen — Netherlands
* Gelsenkirchen — Germany
* Nancy — France
* Taiyuan — China
* Atlanta — USA
* Haifa — Israel
* Newcastle — Australia — on the River Hunter, and also a coal hub.

quote:
Town twinning or sister cities is a concept where towns or cities from geographically and politically distinct areas are paired, with the goal of fostering human contact and cultural links. In Europe, such pairs of towns are known as twin towns; in North America and Australasia, the term sister cities is used for the same concept. Twin towns often (though by no means always) have similar demographic and other characteristics.

In true Manchester United fashion, I have to say "support your local team".

I actually wish my local team was lower down than Man U so that I could actually experience the highs and the lows of promotion and relegation.

What I would do is pick maybe a second division side and follow their results. You don't want a side like Man U or one like Southport who have no chance of doing anything.

Personal recommendation..... Wigan.

What exactly were you expecting from a club 2-3 divisions lower down? "Total Football"?

How to play football, according to The Gas.

1- Kick the ball as high and hard upfield as you can, in the hope that it might rebound into the net off a striker's upturned arse.

2- Repeat step 1, repeatedly.

Give it a couple of years.

BTW a (probably totally untrue) ManU rumour from a 'friend of a friend' is that Rio has got caught nailing Darren Fergusons wife and will be out of the club as soon as a buyer can be found.

Depends. If you're from Athens you should support panathinaikos (pan-athenean get it?) and you should be vehemently opposed to the "shrimps", these are the fans of Olympiakos whose home base is the "harbor", else knows as Piraeus. Remember you're mortal enemies. Some people might call you "vazelos" a mock word coming from vazeline because the president of our team made a lot of money in the petroleum and related products business.
If you're from new phialdephia or other suburbs of athens you might want to be AEK = athletic union of constantinople. you'd have to have parents which are asia minor refugees although that's not obligatory. be prepared for people to call you "hanoumaki" though, this means little girl of the harem.
now if you're northern, there are choices there too. PAOK or aris being the top two. iof you're paok some southerners, meaning vazelines and shrimps might call you "bulgarian" because of your proximity to said country. again that's nothing to worry about.
if now you want to look posh/alternative/sophisticated/outofthemainstreem or if you're simply a redneck you can choose some other of the 40 or so lesser teams like apollon kalamarias.


a big thing is what your parents were and how you like each majors team's emblem.
