Presume everyone knows what Etihad is Arabic for?
Suicide Bomber?
I heard United but reckon lad who told me was messing
Thats Emirates
But when asked if the word could also mean ‘United’ he consulted an arabic dictionary and said: “Yes, it can also stand for union, alliance, friendship and united.”
Paul Tate, who is in charge of the Middle Eastern collection at the University of Manchester’s John Rylands Library, said: "It’s not quite a clear answer. Different Arabic speakers will give you a different answer.
"Etihad doesn’t literally translate as united, but it implies it at the same time.It’s a noun that means unison, union or alliance.
"But United is an adjective, so the word for that would be Mutthid. For example, if you were saying Manchester United, you would say Manchester al-Mutthid.
Edit. Runt got there first.
I’d imagine City will use it to make it look like they are making less of a loss than they actually are to try to get around those pesky UEFA rules.
