My observations from today’s game are as follows: 1. Hull City’s away support is the best we’ve had so far. 2. Dimitar Berbatov was worth every penny. 3. Why can’t we maintain dominance in two halves?
United Away The Best In The Country
October 6, 2008 3 Comments
Blackburn away is one of the highlights of the fixture list for United fans, with a massive 8,000 tickets being given to our fans. Every year a letter accompanies these tickets, warning us if we stand throughout the match as we did the season before, our allocation will be cut. They’ve yet to live up [...]
Fans Are The Slaves, Not The Players
July 15, 2008 19 Comments
In a week where Arsenal have announced that their cheapest season ticket will set you back 925, as well as a footballer earning 125,000 being dubbed ‘a slave’, it is no wonder football fans are feeling fed up. The money in the game is getting out of control, as are the egos of the players [...]
The Support Ronaldo Received Is Now Sickening
June 30, 2008 24 Comments
Steven Gerrard, who missed one of the penalties that saw England knocked out of the last World Cup, deflected any possible negative attention away from himself and in the direction of Ronaldo instead. “If it was one of my team-mates, I’d be absolutely disgusted in him because there’s no need for that,” said Gerrard. “I’ve [...]
Show Your Colours: Players Backing For Better Than Nou Camp Atmosphere
April 29, 2008 3 Comments
Ahead of United’s crucial semi-final against Barcelona this evening, I am joining the manager and players in getting well behind the “Show Your Colours” campaign, in which United fans are all encouraged to bring scarves and flags with them tonight, singing as loudly as possible. United fans travelling to Spain weren’t happy to be place [...]
REDS United: It’s Down To Us Tonight
April 29, 2008 6 Comments
United are encouraging a “Show Your Colours” campaign for tomorrow night, where all those going to the ground should bring our flags and scarves with us. Following on from great European atmospheres in the past, such as Porto ’77, Barca ’84, and Inter ’99, all reds attending are asked to sing loud and proud, with [...]
Embarrassed Nev Thanks Fans

With Gary Neville’s comeback date postponed time and again, whilst talk of his retirement was rife, I had a ‘I’ll believe it when I see it’ attitude to whether he would play for the first team again. As he approached the touchline last night, ready to be subbed on against Roma, I was made up. [...]
Evra: Our Atmosphere Best In Europe

After snatching a 1-1 away to Lyon in the Champions League, United will play them at home this evening, hoping to make their way to the quarter finals. With almost a full squad available to us and the home advantage, United are certainly the favourites to progress. Patrice Evra has today talked about the importance [...]
Liverpool? City? Or United? Munich Memorial Picture Vandalised
January 30, 2008 4 Comments
Whilst the Munich memorial picture which hangs from the East Stand is less than perfect, with the words originally printed incorrectly and an AIG logo situated at the bottom, there is no doubting it is an impressive site. With the 50th anniversary of the tragedy approaching, much of the red focus is on our players [...]
Banter At Old Trafford
January 27, 2008 5 Comments
The quality of away fans we have at Old Trafford is usually pretty poor, with them usually all falling some way short of the impressive support United take with them on the road. Our Old Trafford fans could sing for half an hour non-stop, but the moment a song finishes, the unimaginative away support, who [...]
Fergie vs The Fans – Round II
January 6, 2008 4 Comments
Following United’s boring 1-0 win over Birmingham last week, Sir Alex Ferguson laid in to the fans. “The atmosphere inside the ground wasn’t very good,” Ferguson said. “The crowd was dead. It’s the quietest I’ve heard them here. It was like a funeral, it was so quiet. We needed the crowd today. It’s all right [...]
Rooney Recognises the Brilliance of United Fans

“Sell all your tickets, you couldn’t sell all your tickets, sell all your tickkkkkets, you couldn’t sell all your tickets” the away end boomed at Villa Park yesterday. Six thousand reds travelled to Birmingham for our FA Cup 3rd Round game, taking up the full ticket allocation, whilst some four thousand seats were left empty [...]
Fergie’s Liverpool Dig Falls On Deaf Ears
January 2, 2008 13 Comments
I’m breaking the habit of a lifetime and writing two Fergie bashing articles in one day. Those of you who read this site regularly will know I am firmly on Ferguson’s side in most, if not all debates surrounding our knighted manager. I think the World of the fella, and in contrast to some United [...]
Don’t Point The Finger At Us, Fergie! – Blame Fans, Players or Manager?
January 2, 2008 14 Comments
Manchester United picked up all three points against Birmingham yesterday, Carlos Tevez finishing off a beautiful move. The goal was remnant of that scored against Middlesbrough earlier this season, with Rooney and Tevez linking up perfectly. However, despite our superior attempts on goal and possession, the 1-0 scoreline might appear worrying for United fans, and [...]
