I like the way that a smattering of Arabic is now a necessity for all intelligent people.

And I only just noticed the spelling mistake in the OP. Maybe 'Eithad' is the word for 'union' or 'unity', while 'Etihad' is the word for 'United'?

The mystery deepens …

its best to ignore that o'shea fellow, he pops up on threads to spout anti-city nonsense, digs himself a hole then clears off once he has no further rubbish to spout

I personally think Etihad Stadium is a fine name. I never called it Eastlands or COMS.

For that kind of money they could change my name, ha.

I'd change my name to Wayne Giggs for a tenner.

If you changed your name to Wayne Giggs would your ideas about monogamy change, or would you become a ho wrangling sister in law bothering granny abuser?

im intersted to know why we would be chanting 'Etihad' at Old Trafford or petitioning Trafford Council to have the thoroughfare behind Old Trafford renamed 'Etihad' Road or demanding that the club crest bears the words 'Manchester Etihad'?

Haha

posted on 9/7/11

yes it is but the point is that its your stadium, well kind of, so you can call it what you like and as you are owned by the arabs then its likely its going to be named with that connection in mind.

united road is owned by the council not by arabs so why would we be asking the council to change it to an arabic name.
im not surprised youre having trouble with this to be honest

yeah Trafford council! at least our owners put money into the club and surrounding areas instead of Florida shopping malls <haha>

Your owners are American, your previous owners were Irish, Trafford is a French word.

posted on 9/7/11

so that means we have to rename a road to an arabic name?!

Trafford is a French word

Always have a City fan on your pub quiz team, just in case there is a set of questions about ancient boundaries of Manchester or the etymology of place names in the Manchester area.
