I flew back from the US last night on Icelandair, with a change in Reykjavik and probably realised for the first time the global nature of the Premier League. The flight to Manchester was full to the rafters of Icelanders wearing either Liverpool or MU shirts. The flight time was 2 hrs 10 mins so I guess when you think of it, probably less of a journey than many home based fans.

In most of the world, without doubt it's the global game.
(Still to really break through in India, Pakistan, and with some of my American friends, who think it's a European commie plot to take over the world)
Did you have a good time stateside?

BBRR - It was work not pleasure in the US, but a still a decent week thanks. I wouldn’t recommend Icelandair though. Cheap enough but they scrimp on simple things like having to pay for meals, headsets and drinks. The game in the Prem has changed so much. Whenever the cameras pan in on the home crowd now at Liverpool or MU you see tourists taking selfies or smiling at the cameras. I guess that’s progress and pays the £300k a week salaries. I sometimes wonder if genuine City fans would prefer Maine Road and Frannie Lee or Shaun Goater to what they have today.

Good to see you back Okeh.
Worst plane trip I ever took was Blackpool to the IOM, 15 minutes of utter terror.
Got a couple of mates who are long term (since the 80s) ST holders for Man City. They are still in dreamland with it all, though they do hate the Champions League.

Thailand is a predominately Liverpool supporting country. I even see small motorbikes in Liverpool colours, shirts. See the odd Man U shirt or Chelsea but vast majority Liverpool. This is not a recent thing either it’s been this way for ever. Go figure.

oheh: that certainly rings true with my City pal who still quietly hankers for the those days of being the underdog and the gallows humour of being the perennial loser as typified by Paul Calf.
Possible football world domination does sit uneasily with him, and he can`t quite master the contemptible arrogance that comes so easily to Man Utd fans.
Happier days...

My memory's a bit hazy but I read an article once and I think that Glasgow Celtic, in theory, have the most supporters worldwide.
Liverpool are quite high up on the list, possibly second.
