NEW YORK - Area soccer fan James Dupont stated that he was establishing dominance over local soccer fans by waking up at the EYE BLISTERING time of 7:30 in the morning to watch the Manchester Derby.

“I AM THE AMERICAN WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS WHY SOCCER MATTERS,” screamed Dupont to his Manchester City blanket next to his Manchester City pillows whilst wearing his Manchester City pajamas.

Sources say that Dupont was equally adamant about his credentials when he asked himself how he feels about Manchester City on his podcast One Man, One City.

“I FEEL REAL PAIN WHEN MY TEAM LOSES,” stated Dupont. “I WAKE UP EARLY FOR MATCHES. I UNDERSTAND WHY SOCCER MATTERS. I ONLY LISTEN TO MEN IN BLAZERS AND I ONLY WATCH THE LIVE FEED OF PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES AND I DOWNLOAD MATCH OF THE DAY. I UNDERSTAND WHY SOCCER MATTERS.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this when Dupont changes to whatever team starts winning the most over the next 10 years.
