PICTURES: New United Banners

Manchester United banner

Manchester United banner

After some less than impressive banners from SEF of late, it looks as though there’s a good selection on offer to vote for this time around. The banner will cost around £650 to make and only paying members of SEF can have their say.

Check out the Streford End Flags forum to find out more.

My vote would definitely be for Manchester is my Heaven but both are pretty good and a vast improvement on the FEAR effort.

    Hated, Adored but Never Ignored for me.

    the MUFC stick man logo either side of it puts it over the top for me, love that little stick man!!

  2. Tufty says:

    The most recent banner was The Capital of Trophies banner, which has received a lot of praise.
    The F.E.A.R banner received mixed reviews, probably a lot down to musical taste as well.
    Anyone with ideas for banners can submit them on the SEF forum, ideas are always being gathered.

  3. King Eric says:

    I actually love the F.E.A.R banner, but then I love the Roses and Ian Brown. Like both these two but I prefer the “hated and adored but never ignored ” one the best. Especially relevant at this time with the abu culture going through the roof again. Do like the picture of Sir Matt though and the 3 stars. Can we have both up?

  4. Dilardo says:

    Do like the Sir Matt banner, including the 3 Euro Stars – but more like the wording to the ‘Hated & Adored – Never Ignored’. A bit like the ‘Our History Makes Us Strong – Your Hate Makes Us Stronger’ flag that has been seen at games. Nice to see the MUFC Stickman make a reappearance.

  5. Bangladeshi Red says:

    which one is the fear banner?

    Both are awesome! I like the Hated, Adored but Never Ignored

  6. Sayyid says:

    Chelsea 4, Arsenal 6, Leeds 18, Liverpool 20, Everton 21, Man City 42

    Years since they last won the league

  7. Scott the Red says:

    I think the FEAR banner got slated because ‘For Every Manc A Religion” sounds wank and quite frankly isn’t true. I’d be surprised if it was musical taste which lead people to dislike that banner.

  8. willierednut says:

    I prefer banner’s celebriting our history or former players rather than poking fun at our rivals but thats just my opinion.

  9. willierednut says:

    http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/384087554?-11193
    I dont think shity will be signing this guy.

  10. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Am I right in thinking that “Manchester is my Heaven ” is a direct Sir Matt quote…..

  11. Tufty says:

    Not everyrthing on banners/slogans is true though.
    MUFC The Religion or The Republik of Mancunia for example.

    The Manchester is My Heaven is a direct Busby quote, hence the picture of Busby at the end of the layout.

  12. willierednut says:

    Id go for sir matt’s banner.

  13. King Eric says:

    Off topic:

    These are the sort of players we should be going for. People who dream about playing for United.

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2734019/Angel-Di-Maria-I-want-to-play-for-Man-Utd.html

    Fuck Dzeko, he has been quoted as saying he would like to play for AC Milan.

  14. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    I would love to see a ” I AM NOT A MAN – I AM CANTONA” banner with a picture of Eric the King.

  15. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    off topic but I think united should steal this west ham chant I love it
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REVutKNAB1k
    @King Eric
    best thing about angle is he is heavely linked to city

  16. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Id love a banner that says
    “Get Stuck In Lads”
    Which where Duncan Edwards’ final words

  17. doncobaino says:

    I didn’t mind the F.E.A.R banner- although im a united fan, im technically not a manc but the two banners suggested are superb, well done tufty et all.

  18. Williamkulha says:

    GHTT that would be a brilliant banner. Off topic has anyone heard about Van Persies placenta procedure? bags full of laughs.

  19. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Williamkulha
    along the lines of the manchester is my heaven one which would be Red and wrote in thick white writing with a pic of big duncan at the end

  20. rooninho says:

    “knock Liverpool off their fucking perch, and you can quote me on that.”

    or

    “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. Football. Bloody hell.”

    sir alex ferguson

  21. theboogeyman says:

    I favour the “Hated,Adored but never ignored” but personally I’d like both.

    And I like GHTT’s idea a lot, too.

  22. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    I just went around the net and found this off T-shirtsunited and I think its along the lines of this for the Edwards banner
    http://www.tshirtsunited.com/images/designs/get-stuck-in-lads-tshirt_thumb.jpg

  23. rooninho says:

    @ghtt

    brilliant t-shirt and banner idea. love quotes on banners

    another duncan edwards famous quote according to nobby stiles:

    “we didn’t come here for nuffin!’”

    but i do fancy “get stuck in lads” much more

  24. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    Yeah , Get Stuck In Lads would be a TOP banner for the Streford End.
    Nice bit of heritage and sums up what the fans expect from the team.

    I think we have a winner ! Nice one GHTT.

  25. Drew Vader says:

    I like the Busby one

  26. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    READ CAREFULLY WHAT I Said
    My Idea seems to be well recieved but it could be the most flawless amazing banner idea of all time but the chances of Tufty taking on one of my ideas is highly unlikely in my mind

  27. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    @GHTT

    Genius is seldom recognised in its lifetime.

  28. cantona7 says:

    hi guys

    out of those two above, i would choose the top one.

    But i think GHTT’s idea is better. Get Stuck In Lads!

  29. theboogeyman says:

    RCWI – Hi mate.
    Scott posted a story on that some time back, didn’t he?

  30. HARGREAVES' CURLY HAIR says:

    Hey guys
    i like both Scott especially Hated Adored But Never Ignored.
    @King Eric
    yeah mate, good to have a player who dreams of playing for us. HAHA city are MASSIVE!!!:-)
    We’ve won it 3 times without killing ANYONE!
    Scott
    why is that english clubs can’t have stars on their kits above the club badge like Bayern Munich? or is it the clubs’ choice not to put them or the damn FA preventing this?:-l
    GHTT
    i also would like to see the Duncan Edwards banner of “Get Stuck in Lads.”

  31. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    HARGREAVES’ CURLY HAIR
    City have 3 stars over there crest which i cant work out because on my checking they’ve never won aything 3 times except come 2nd 3 times
    SUPPORT THE “GET STUCK IN LADS” BANNER APPEL

  32. Tufty says:

    Suggest the idea on the SEF forum, as ideas are always sought.
    Even better if you can do a full mock up of a design.
    Or the people of this forum could all chip in and get one made, then Scott could take it into games. Flaglady on the SEF forum has made a lot of flags and they are a lot cheaper than what you would pay through a shop. They are a quality flag, as seen at a lot of Euro aways.

  33. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    @Boogeyman – alright fella.

    Scott probably did – he is usually a step ahead of the likes of me and you.
    I dont think I have ever had an idea of my own that later turned out to be something I had read somewhere or seen on TV.
    I thought I came up with ” Does exactly what it says on the tin” until someone told me it was from the Cuprinol ad. I also thought I came up with
    “Just do it” and then realised I had been driving past a Nike poster for three months on the way to work.
    I was definitely first with “Once you pop you cant stop”

  34. rooninho says:

    3 stars on city badge mean nothing, merely decorative according to their website.

    pathetic.

    used to think it was the number of decades since their last title but i guess there should be four stars up there now!

  35. jellybean says:

    hey bangladeshi red, i’m from bangladesh as well!!! always good to meet some bd reds, most people i know are annoying arsenal fan boys. you from dhaka?

    about the banners, i really like the first one- “hated, adored but never ignored”. cause it’s sooo true, you never meet anyone whose into football who doesn’t have an opinion on united :) and i love rooninho’s both ideas for banners as well, sir alex does have some brilliant quotes and they deserve to be on a banner :D

  36. jellybean says:

    * i love both of rooninho’s ideas :S (just woke up and checking my favorite blog first thing in the morning hehe)

  37. rooninho says:

    cheers jellybean!

    i do fancy “GET STUCK IN LADS” the most!

    i never use capital letters so you know i mean business!

    here’s a banner suggestion for man city:

    manchester city, champions in our own minds

    manchester city, all for one, one for one!

  38. weeeeeldrinkadrinkadrink says:

    I actually like the FEAR and CAPITAL ones but the SENT TO ME FROM HEAVEN is pure class,best banner ever at OT.I even took the steo of buying the tshirt and would love to get it as a tatoo if I ever get the bottle.
    Of the two new ones,I slghtly prefer the SIR MATT one.We should never forget a legend like him.I really like the Cantona idea that READ CAREFULLY proposed.

  39. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    BIG HELLO – To all the Bangladeshi Reds !

    I live about three miles from Old Trafford and you guys live in Bangladesh.
    That is why I love the fact we can all travel to the Republik of Mancunia on the Internet.

    It is fucking amazing really.

  40. jellybean says:

    well, Read Carefully, MUFC IS a religion :D been a fan since i was a wee lassie of 12, my dad loves ‘em as well and i actually live in the USA now but i watch all the games and annoy my bf by singing the chants all the time hehe. he’s a barca fan but keeps wearing my rooney jersey. i’m convinced he’s a convert, but he refuses to admit it…i think it’s to do with his best friend being a diehard pool fan (VOMIT!) hehe! my best friend is a die hard Red (the right kind!) as well, and he lives in australia, and when we were about 14 or so we pledged we were going to make it to Old Trafford one day. i think i’ll die of excitement when that happens. i was reading about the atmosphere at OT being a bit flat nowadays? is that really true? i can ALWAYS hear the stretford end singing whenever there’s a game on, so i was a bit surprised to read that. “Attack…Attack…Attack Attack Attack”! Love it! Ooooh, is there a banner saying that? there should be!

  41. Dani says:

    @READ CAREFULLY WHAT I

    The “I’m not a man, I’m Cantona” banner already exists.
    It was even showed at the Chelsea game.

    At least I saw it on the espn transmition in Brazil.

  42. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    what do you think scott about tuftys idea of a banner made to represent your site with a banner voted for on your site and we could ,if wanted , do a whip around.

  43. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    @ Dani

    Now you come to mention it, I think you are right mate.

    I am not a man, I am a Twat

  44. King Eric says:

    gotta hate, Scott, Tufty, RCWIS etc etc – Great idea. I would definately chip in to get a banner made.

  45. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    @jellybean – Keep on annoying the BF with the United Chants !!
    If he really loves you he will learn to sing along and tell him if he ever says he supports LFC he is dumped. I can respect him supporting Barca as I have always had them as my favourite “foreigners” aswell as Boca Juniors in Argentina. Tell him he can always become a United fan – it is never too late to convert to THE RELIGION.

  46. wazza (Bezi) says:

    @RCWI : “I am not a man, I am a Twat”, LMFAO. always enjoy your comments mate. keep them coming

  47. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    @jellybean

  48. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    Off topic but people **EMILY NEEDS HELP**
    Heres the story
    Emily Jane Best got 3 tickets to bring her Parents to her first match at Old Trafford and sing about Rooney
    so Emilys daddy sorted out a Hotel and
    Emilys mammy sorted out flights
    IT WAS ON
    Then Emilys all important match tickets fell through and now Emily and family are finding it hard to get tickets
    Can anyone out there help out the worlds smallest Biggest united fan
    http://therepublikofmancunia.com/the-gaffer/

  49. King Eric says:

    Off topic but had to post.

    Been listening to that cunt Collymore on talkshite as they are having “another” United discussion, this time about our great leader Fergie. He reckons that he IS a top manager but his legacy will be tainted because he bullys ref’s and journalists etc. What a fucking cunt. He says that as Fergie “gets away” with things then the young managers will think it is ok to. The young managers that have worked UNDER Sir Alex is that Stan? How the fuck does he get away with things. He has just been given an unprecedented fine and ban. The longer the show went on the more angry Stan became and his true colours started to come through. I don’t think it helped the fact that even Dippers and Arsenal fans were telling him to be quiet as Fergie is the man. One cunt phoned in and said “he is a bully and he is always CHEWING GUM ON TV which doesn’t set a good example”. You couldn’t make it up. The irony is that he said Fergie has no humility or grace. This coming from a man who fucks about in car parks and brays women up. The man is the most bitter deluded cunt on Radio and should be ousted. One Arsenal fan called in and said (the usual Bobby Robson was such a gentleman one) that Stan was a joke. Fergie IS a winner and does whatever it takes to win. Stan was fucking furious. How dare anyone knock Sir Bobby. The fan was right he may have been a gentleman BUT he was not a winner in Ingerlund. That is the difference. Pretty much like you outlined on the Winter blog Scott. Sorry just had to get this off my chest and wondered if anyone else heard him?

  50. King Eric says:

    gotta hate – For which game mate. I thought Emily was going to Fulham. I thought that was away?

  51. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    King Eric
    fulham is at home and as i say the guy who said he’d tickets , well… didnt
    so now we’ve flights and hotel and no tickets

  52. rooninho says:

    @king eric

    don’t waste your emotions on that idiot collymore. he’s got no credibility and is the last person to talk about bullying people around. i can’t think of a worse bully than a violent, drunken, women beating, fool.

  53. mikekelly12 says:

    King Eric – I heard that twat on talksport! Said he’s the reason everyone hates united! Finally he admits he hates united! What a cunt. The “I am not a man…I am Cantona was on a Union Flag at the Chelski match! I love the “Get Stuck in Lads” idea, but of the two shown I’d go for Busby. Did anyone notice that Peter Walton has escaped punishment for awarding Liverpool’s David Ngog a crucial penalty and will be in charge of Tottenham’s Premier League game against Wigan on Sunday! Yet Sir Alex gets a 4 game ban for having an opinion about someone’s fitness!! Which one of these incidents directly effects league standings!!!

  54. weeeeeldrinkadrinkadrink says:

    I don’t think the I AM CANTONA is a stretford end banner yet guy’s.I did see a version of it with our away fans though.Hopefully only a matter of time before it is draped over the Stretford end.

  55. Ulster Red says:

    my god collymore is saying he had the ability to be the best in the world when he was at at forest and liverpool he thought he was top 2 or 3 in world hahahaha fucking hahahaha!!!!!!! its comical, he said does rooney and ronaldo run past people like he did??????? fuck me!!

  56. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    ha ha ha comment on top was Emilys mammy checking if anyone had any info
    her first comment on R.O.M.

  57. Ulster Red says:

    john
    well hes an argie!!! but if he has an ambition to play for united and united only then maybe he would be a good signing, the talent is ther but as i say hes an argie!!!!! plus he looks up 2 that money grabbing whore aswell!

  58. shebangsthedrums says:

    @King Eric- Don’t waste your time listening to that deluded, illiterate t**t. Is Terry Christian still on MUTV, because talksport should have him back. Collymore needs to be sacked for spoutong such drivel, it’s slanderous. On the banner thing, I like them both, but I always prefer our references to our history, it saya a lot about our club and the the fans. I would go with the Busby one or the “get stuck in lads” Duncan Edwards, that’s been mentioned.

  59. jellybean says:

    @ GHTT, the game’s still a bit over a month away, right? i’m sure you’ll have tickets sorted out by then. emily must have been mad excited! i’ve seen all her vids btw, and she’s brilliant! never fails to put a smile on my face, love the O’She one!

    @Read Carefully, the day before the champions league final, my bf found himself singing “Glory Glory” and then he realized what he was singing and stopped haha…

    Collymore’s a cunt, like pretty much all ex-Liverpool players (with the exception of owen, of course). i wouldn’t pay heed to such scum. what tripe! people hate Utd cause of Fergie! that’s why he was knighted, right?!?! TWAT!!!

  60. Bebeto says:

    Perhaps material could be “borrowed” from the Welcome to Manchester flag.

    Using the trophy outlines, something like “18x Prem 11xFA Cup 3x Champions League – Believe”

    Might seem a bit pompous from a non-United perspective, but it seems most of us could do with reminding at times just which club we’re supporting.

    “Because we believe” would be alright for distancing ourselves from the fickle nature of fans from other clubs all over the country.

  61. Ishaq says:

    Hello from South Africa.

    I would like to see a banner:

    Liverpool 18
    Arsenal 13
    Chelsea 2
    Giggs 11

    Im not sure of the exact figures, but yeah. That would really stick the knife in.

  62. Red Army says:

    Ever since Terry Christian went on Big Brother he’s been on a self rightous ego trip. There is no one worth listening to in the media at all, except Durham and Ian Wright when they’re dipper bashing.

  63. Laos Red says:

    Love the “Manchester is My Heaven” idea…….

  64. King Eric says:

    Ulster Red – Yeah I heard him mate. He said he would have been in the top 3 in the world IF he had played for Fergie. I wouldn’t go that far but I will admit he was a decent enough player in his Forest days. I reckon someone had a word with him half way through the show because in the last hour he was non stop praising Fergie.

  65. King Eric says:

    Jack – Obsessed? Just a bit mate! What have Nev and Fergie got to do with their Champions League win? Fuck me are they gonna dine out on that win for the next 20 years? A play, they have done a musical, a film etc etc. Like the article says it is a daft time to do it considering the mess they are in and what are you betting it comes back to bite them on the arse? Silly fucking Scousers.

  66. Eric AKA Super Schmeichel says:

    very nice

  67. Elliott says:

    The Cantona banner is an absolute gem

  68. can united score? they always score says:

    I fancy ‘get stuck in lads’ even more..2nd to none

  69. GET STUNK IN LADS BANNER IDEA says:

    I SUPPORT THE “GET STUCK IN LADS” BANNER

  70. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    this news is nearly a week old but this is the first time ive seen it
    its not every day Sir Alex goes and looks at players himself

  71. Bangladeshi Red says:

    sorry i’ve been away… omg nice to mean fans from Bangladesh, all the fans in BD are just glory hunters, btw i am 13 :P I kno all the chants, never miss a game, keep thinking abt them and not a glory hunter + stay up and watch games at 4 AM to 6AM when i’ve got skul in the next day!

    I lOVE MANCHESTER UNITED, nothing more… (have been supporting them since 5) :P

    I goto OT often too! xD

  72. Bangladeshi Red says:

    *skul in the next hour

  73. Tufty says:

    The Flags seen at Chelsea away with the Cantona image on it, was made by Flaglady from the http://www.stretfordendflags.com forum.

  74. marsy the red says:

    I love Get stuck in there lads

  75. bchilds says:

    Of the two I prefer the ‘Hated, Adored but Never Ignored’ – no comma between adored and but, sorry to be anal about these things!

    My personal favourite is ‘Our History Makes Us Strong – Your Hate Makes Us Stronger’ would love to see that adorn the Stretford End!
