REDS United: It’s Down To Us Tonight

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.

Liverpool? City? Or United? Munich Memorial Picture Vandalised

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

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

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.

Fergie’s Liverpool Dig Falls On Deaf Ears

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?

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 [...]

BREAKING NEWS: Five Fans Stabbed, Two Arrested

We will all remember the horrific scenes from last year’s Champions League quarter final in Rome vividly. Our fans were beaten by the Italian police force during our 2-1 defeat against Roma and the scenes were there for all to see on live television.

Old Bill’s Advice On Avoiding Ultras

Manchester United play Roma on Wednesday night, in what is a rather meaningless game considering that both teams have already qualified for the next round. However, on a personal level, this game means a lot to both sides due to the events of last season. In the first leg, United fans were stabbed by Ultras, [...]

Ultras, Stab Our Police Horses Will Ya?

Beating Roma last year was one of my most magical experiences at Old Trafford. After the horrific goings on in the away leg, with the police beating the shite out of our fans, it felt as though justice had been done when we humiliated them so badly. On the way to the ground, reports came [...]
