Spot the difference: Parades

Sky News has reported that 150,000 United fans watched the lads bring the Premier League trophy through the streets of Manchester this afternoon. The Guardian estimated that this figure was closer to 100,000.

Despite the awful weather and disappointment from Saturday, reds showed up to show their support and appreciation of the players who earned us a record breaking 19th title.

More pictures from our parade.

    Love the banner in the pic (though I am not one with a religious persuasion):

    And On the 7th day, God created Manchester United.

    Manchester is RED

    BTW, Manchester is RED. Can see it sitting here in India.

    that webpage mcfc did pre fa cup final is ripe for a piss take now. “Welcoming the thousands of new fans” that winning the cup would bring. replace picture with one of a tumbleweed passing wastelands

  7. NBI Red Onion says:

    I love the fact its a huge mixed crowd, all ages, all genders, people from all over the world. I bumped into some fans from abroad who had travelled up from London to be there in the pissing rain. There is power in numbers, great positive buzz being amongst such great supporters and seeing the United family, great spirit.

    Bet you had a blast, wish I was there

    Red Red and more Red

  11. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ CedarsDevil

    It was worth the rain man, being there was just healing and everyone was buzzing and friendly and out there to support the man and the team who give us some of the best highs and lows of our lives. I am sure a lot of kids who were out there will remember this day. The players seemed to be enjoying it there were leaning over the edge and waving and taking pictures.

    I have to say I had a lump in my throat when I saw VDS for what may be the last time. And I wasn’t crying, it was the rain, pisses down in Manchester, something to do with the Penines.

  12. GreedySwede says:

    Do the poznan!!!

  13. Sammy says:

    Do man city actually have any fans? There ground is always empty whenever iv seem them play. Unless they are playing united of course. Cant remember old trafford ever being empty.

  14. NBI Red Onion says:

    The thing is about City, this is actually all the fans they have. Even their owners used to support United. So while United have 150mn fans plus some 350mn globally. This picture is actually all of City’s fans.

  15. urval87 says:

    @ NBI Red Onion LOL :) )

  16. CedarsDevil says:

    NBI Red Onion

    Glad you enjoyed it… Nice to know it was only the ‘rain’ and not your tears my friend !

  17. Alom says:

    did Sky report any numbers for Shitty’s parade??

    would love to see how low their number was in comparison lol

  18. jayrannasaurus says:

    this is how it feels to be city.

  19. Mickjk says:

    Hoped today picked everyone who was there up. Good to see so many appeared despite the rain and recent disappointment. We are united!!

  20. urval87 says:

    @ Cedars and NBI Red Onion

    Given that this was City’s first trophy in 35 years, this turnout really says something about their fans.
    I would even go to a fucking Carling cup parade of United’s if I were in Manchester.

  21. swede says:

    A great turn out for the parade and MUTV had a great broadcast from it and a few specially made videos that summed our history up very well. Very touching to see and I felt even more proud of what the club has achieved.
    Those that seem to celebrate that we lost this final all support clubs that have either won very little or very long ago and that is a hard place to be in when all you have going for you is another club failing to win one trophy when they have instead won another one and created history.
    The challenge from Barca is what will make us become even better and greater just like Juventus made us go from winning the league over and over to actually winning in Europes finest competition. Personally I prefer winning the league and would not have been happy at all had we won the CL final after having lost the league.

  22. T4M says:

    arent you tired scott of stating the obvious?

  23. TonyBee says:

    hee hee thought I WOULD cheer Mg up

  24. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ T4M

    There is no limit to the deep satisfaction gained from ritual humiliation of an opponent, particularly if that opponent is called Shitty. Psychologists may analysis this for years, but I am sure that when I think of humiliating City or Liverpool some part of my upper cortel lobe or lower amygdala is deeply satisfied and radiates glorious hormones. Hence was Scott is doing has a profound impact on mental health, bonhomie and well being of United fans. Spend more time with City and Pool fans (lock car, hide keys) and you will see why.

    I say Holmes …..where do start……. and put that fucking violin down….. :lol:

  29. TonyBee says:

    and lay off the opium pipe

  30. MG says:

    I say Watson let’s start at the scene of the crime in Wembley.

    :lol:

  31. MG says:

    I’m trying :D

  32. TonyBee says:

    ahhh yes MG Holmes seems some Spaniards….I think members of the Barca clan stole something from under the nose of a Knight of the Realm……Sir Alex Ferguson…… AND THEN DISAPPEARED FROM WHENCE THEY CAME

  33. Notey90 says:

    There is only one Manchester and dat is Manchester United…..any other one is a counterfeit.

    Cant wait to see ‘em run after all our targeted signings for the summer. MUFC…..The pride of us all.

    There is way to many difference in that pictures to start listing them especially when there is no prize….

    Great Watson off to Barca then :lol:

  38. TonyBee says:

    NEXT YEAR HOLMES ….NEXT YEAR

  39. Costas says:

    Asked this in another thread, but is anyone else annoyed that Rio will return to the England camp as if nothing happened?

  40. swede says:

    Before this website confirms what the world media seem to be reporting on I would like to wish Paul Scholes all the best in whatever he takes on now after ending his United career. Maybe he is set for a job at his beloved Oldham?
    I feel really old now as I saw this lad break though and really establish himself when he scored against Southampton at OT in 1995 almost breaking the net in the process. He of course debuted the season before but that 1995 goal at home to Southampton hit home to me this was going to be a special player.
    Thank you Scholesy for all you did for us!

  42. mattos says:

    @ swede..

    who knows what scholes is going to do. he may give it this last year you just dont know.

    and scott, could you make a photo comparison of our parade and some empty liverpool streets, just so those fucking scouse cunts know where they stand?

  43. wayne says:

    @Costas hi mate yes i am he was treated like shit,not just that he needs to retire and commit to utd.trying to play for england and utd high % he’ll get injuries.think utd need to look and sign a quality center half to be honest.
    doesn’t rio have any dignity,fucking manager made him look foolish then cunt terry said rio will be lucky to get his place back

  44. primus castro says:

    WE ARE JUST TOO UNITED TO BE DISUNITED!!

  45. wayne says:

    just read young has already had a medical anyone else confirm that

  46. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ Costas

    Rio is a class act and has a way with words, I am sure he will make it clear to Capello what he thinks. But I think Rio likes playing for England so he will just deal with it like a man and move on.

  47. Pgf says:

    Took my six year old to Nevs testimonial last week, he saw Giggsy and Scholesy and said to me “daddy, am I dreaming”. Took him and his little brother to the parade. They looked like drowned rats – but when they saw the lads and our trophytheir smiles warmed my heart. They’ve gone to bed with their new flags, and the knowledge they are part of a bigger family.

  48. FletchTHEMAN says:

    UnitedGeorge
    It is always in the Daily Fail init?!. Think they are just taking the piss on both clubs. Just can’t be true as you would have to be running low on idiots after this long.
    Honestly. Both lads made the bet so you have to conclude that both are a might daft. Truly mate,
    is there a special school for these uns?

  49. Fifthcolumnblue says:

    Good use opf propaganda there Scott, and I’m sure all your acolytes will lap it up.

    Unfortunately, I live in old trafford and this was more of the reality, ie you managed 50k at best.

    Bit of an embarrassment for the reds, but wouldn’t expect any of you to own up to it.

  50. MG says:

    Ah Fifth it’s only neighbourly fun

    Enjoy your trophy man see you in August for the further adventures of City and United

    ;)

  51. Costas says:

    @wayne

    I don’t know what Rio is waiting for? Capello’s replacement? He will be 33-34 by then. Don’t know how long he expects to keep playing for them. I get that he loves the England team, but I wish he would reconsider. Especially after the way they treated him. Wouldn’t put it past Capello to keep him on the bench in the next game.

  52. united.george says:

    @MG – are we going to have an end of the season interview? Who is Jeff speaking to next?

  53. Costas says:

    Filthcolumnblue, lol. Hey I remember windy miller. Another one of the deluded crew that came here and offered endless hours of laughter. :)

  54. MG says:

    united.george

    Hello mate – yeah I’ll do one maybe tomorrow – I’m writing my screenplay away at the moment ;)

    Wait a quick one:

    So Darren Gibson Manchester United were beaten by Barcelona in the CL final what was your take on the match?

    It was my fault Jeff

    You didn’t play son.

    It doesn’t matter it was my fault all the same.

    Thats harsh?

    Okay it was my fault, John’s fault and Evans fault. We are to blame.

    Are you okay son?

    Well Jeff maybe we can blame Bebe as well, hell let’s blame Berba too

    Are you sure you’re feeling okay?

    Well yes it’s our fault we lost to Barcelona I had a phone call from Harry Redknapp he was very sympathetic.

    Blimey Arry phoned you?

    Yeah he’s right here…

    Arry it’s Jeff what the fuck is wrong with you – Gibson didn’t even play for God’s sake!

    Jeff! their you go again swearing just like Rooney – I swear it it’s not triffic it’s not on.

    :lol:

  55. man_utd_19 says:

    City – Small club. End of.

    There’s only 1 team in Manchester!

  56. Fifthcolumnblue says:

    Got some “eye in the sky” type pics for you too – top one is outside Trafford Town hall – the team is there on the bus – must have missed the 150K LOL.

  57. dannysoya says:

    Like red onion said Rio is a class act however i do feel he has been grossly mistreated and he should pay them back by quitting England. I mean NOBODY derives joy playing for England. it’s like th moment you put on that shirt you become a source of scorn and ridiculous abuse from millions of “coaches” who have never set foot in a football pitch to actually play. It’s ridiculous. If anyone has noticed. Drop in form of our players has ALWAYS coincided with internationals. ALWAYS. i have studied wayne rooney for the past 3 years and i have found that out.

  58. Costas says:

    Filth, give me a camera and I will work my magic too. What are you doing here anyway? No life hey? How sad.

  59. Zelh says:

    Costas – the berties are so obsessed by united. we think once or twice about their massive club when it’s derby time or their deluded fans embarrassed themselves, but their whole existence is about united.

  60. bobbycharlie1968 says:

    @fifthcolumnblue

    you accuse scott of propaganda but you post links of your own…classy pal, typical of city i suppose. you aren’t even close to matching us let alone beating us, and you must have a saddddd life to come onto another teams blog. although do enjoy it, it’s probably more fun than watching city anyway

  61. United4eva says:

    Of course Manchester’s red. Blimey City couldn’t even get Balotelli to go their Cup celebration. :D

  62. Dandivine7 says:

    @Wayne, (Young Medical) heard it too but I’m still cynical about it. Window opens on Wednesday, maybe it will be confirmed by then

  63. Dandivine7 says:

    *sorry meant to use Skeptical not cynical* pardon My English

  64. Costas says:

    @Zelh

    Sad fuckers aren’t they? Classless. Won their first trophy in 36 years and they still couldn’t gather more people than us for their parade. :lol:

  65. MG says:

    Somebody has to explain to me how Ashley Young if signed would rip Barcelona apart

    Thats the only thing I’m interested about

    The Barcelona protocol

    :lol:

  66. MG says:

    You know I don’t feel like getting into a slanging match with city today

    Must be something in the air

    19

    :lol:

  67. Fifthcolumnblue says:

    Keep smoking whatever it is you’re smoking lads, the pic I posted is from the greater Manchester Police helicopter and it clearly shows your pathetic plastic fans decided the rain would mess with their bouffants.

    But hey, your fans all seem more comfortable watching their team on Sky anyway so who am I to argue? All I can say is that I live in Old trafford and there were hardly more than a few thousand about.

    You can deny it all you want, but you are an embarrassment.

  68. MG says:

    How is Shakira doing?

    Hips like that eh

    :lol:

    Well done Pique gets the girl and the fucking trophy – someday Pique someday…

  69. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Fifthcolumbine Diluded, paidd for by oil, still no class. Many on here toasted your lot for its success this year. A cup and 3rd. Not bad. Still bitter if you want to spoil our bit of fun.

    Sky managed to find the fans. Your pics are clearly from before or after in many cases. Fair play to you for trying to pull a fast one. Couple of thousand probably did stay home do to the rain. Those who turned out showed their class. Why not show yours and crawl back down your hole…..

    From Sky

  70. Costas says:

    All I can say is that I live at Old Trafford and Filthcolumnblue can suck my dick.

    How many times did you fill your stadium this season again?

  71. MG says:

    It’s true Fifth

    Well done with your trophy need to be in it to win it – you did no banner – replaced if I may say so with a better one

    Just let it go – it’s all good banter. I’m sure all your fans that came out for the trophy parade were happy – so were ours

    Just make sure you keep those scousers out of the top four – that a team ;)

    I can’t believe it – I’ve been reading too much of love thy neighbour – helps though the season is over lol :D

  72. MG says:

    As Arry would say – triffic :lol:

  73. Costas says:

    @MG

    That’s not like you mate. Good thing I am in a foul mood and I need to clean up some filth. ;)

  74. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Costas, Good thing its a team thing being fans. MG just chilling with some blow. Couldn’t even be bothered by a bitter crawling in. Some might say trade the lad, MG. But I back ‘im for a couple of stand out years to come.
    MG, MG, He loves MU FC!
    Love all you reds. Not even a bloody blue could spoil my day today. Well done to all the reds.

    EPL
    United 12,
    A few of the rest are lucky to be counting on one hand.
    The bitters? They are still using both their hands for self fulfillment. Nothing else for them to do!

    Glory Glory Man United!

  75. MG says:

    Costas

    I’ll drink to that ;)

    Fletch

    Cheers mate – I back us all for stand out years to come.

    Goodnight Manchester United – lessons o learn on how to shift Barca from the top of their fucking perch (and on our expense too!)

    Over and out.

  76. slim says:

    Like MG said neighbourly fun, but it seems to have gotten pretty foul very quickly. sheesh there’s still six weeks of no footie to go !!. Personally i’m in no mood for the any thing berties put up, its simply noise to me

  77. smartalex says:

    I see FilthyColonBlue has been shitting himself again.

    Have on Enema on the State. Bernstein will suck it up, he’s also a dirty blue.

    @Fifthcolumnblue

    BBC say you had 100,000 fans

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-13590280 (at the bottom)

    Sky say we had 150,000 fans

    http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Football-Manchester-United-Parade-Premier-League-Trophy-Win/Article/201105416002303?DCMP=News-search-sslc&lid=ARTICLE_16002303_FootballManchesterUnitedParadePremierLeagueTrophyWin&lpos=searchresults

    its pretty easy to swing things your way when you get pictures before all the fans get to the parade or as they are leaving u prat..
    50,000 more fans on a rainy day now go fuck off buddy!!

  79. united.george says:

    @MG – Thanks for the interview, it was triffic!!!

    I love the way that city had to actually write to all the players telling them it was mandatory to attend the FA Cup celebration….I also love the way they had to write the captain of the team two letters, one in english and one is spanish…

  80. dannysoya says:

    Rumours that the ginger prince ( A.K.A PAUL SCHOLES) is retiring? PLEASE SAY IT ISN’T SO. I am already sad. Please anyone confirm for me.

  81. dannysoya says:

    LOOK fifthcolumn or whatever the fuck your name is. We rule manchester so no matter how much you try to convince yourself. It won’t work. Our attendance is far more than yours. They have to beg you twats to go to the stadium and you still don’t go. LMAO. I’d love to see how many bitter twats would have turned out on a rainy day? 150,00 still managed to turn out for us. Now imagine it was a beautiful sunny day? Nobody argue with this fool. he knows the truth.

  82. jellybean says:

    Hahahaha wow the lengths people will take just to prove a retarded point. The funny thing is, if we weren’t dealing with these Bitter deluded twats who go on harping about how “Manchester is blue”, this post would be rather juvenile. But somehow, no matter what, they can never admit the Bitter truth can they? Truth is, City has a MASSIVE fanbase. But….they’re not really there- be it their stadium/trophy parade or the city of Manchester apparently.

    I may not be from Manchester, but it’s hard to miss all those empty ugly blue seats on the telly. Ever wonder whether Sheikh Mansoor will think he’s spent enough on players already, maybe he should buy some fans now?

  83. Mannings says:

    Is anyone surprised at City’s turnout?

    When they won the FA cup, I asked my City mates if they knew how to celebrate? After 35 years, it seems they have either forgot or are too young to know how to do it!

  84. bobkoh says:

    City fans are so laughable I’ve stopped laughing at them. They can’t be found at a parade to celebrate their FA cup win. Red is the colour!

  85. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ FifthCallMeShitty

    Mate I was there, there were plenty of fans. No doubt you will next be saying that City have a bigger global fan base than United. Do you guys have your first international fan yet? What no? They still don’t know who the hell you are – I see.

    Your pictures seem a bit misleading mate, at least Scott included all your fans in the picture i.e. both families that regularly support City. Now piss off u cheeky little monkey.

  86. Ash says:

    When you ask a shitty fan what was your best moment this season?
    Ans-When united were beaten by barcelona.This shows they hate united more than they love their own club same goes for the scousers.
    Liverpool saying next year they will win the league and be a unbeatable team
    City saying they will win the league and champions league :D
    Chelsea also believe the same will happen
    Arsenal also saying we will win the league
    They all know deep inside they are pathetic and they will remain shit especially the loserpool.
    WE ARE THE BEST

  87. sachu says:

    shitty could be grouped with barca in next seasons champions league
    that will be fun

    because he will the CL only after messi retires

    Morning Balaji

    19 cells? Way too generous buddy, that dumb fuck hardly has one!

    We have to keep it fun my friend other wise the next 6 weeks will kill us! You are not referring to Shakira and blow jobs by any chance are you? If not, then send me some of them CD’s this bitch of a nurse I have is useless ! hahahahaha

  94. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Cedars, Ha ha! I check ROM first thing in the morning when I come to office and what do I find – Talks of Shakira and blowjobs – Shame on you all, you made me horny in the office. ;)

    It’s confirmed. Scholesy’s retiring!

    Sad end to the season all round. :( No Scholes, VDS, Hargo and Neville. Possibly also Berba and Owen.

  97. JohnnyHatesJazz says:

    @CedarsDevil, @Devils in the details,
    I can truly understand coz the truth does hurt a lot….19 touches on Saturday…..

    “Another thing, you can tell your 5 finger waiving cunt of a captain that we will get to 6 before your lot can even dream of 19…..”
    As far as i understand, you need to reach 4 and 5 first before 6…..hope you know how to count.

    At least you guys have equalled the record (of an english team) who has the most runners-up medal at european cups/champions league……congrats

    @fifthcolumnblue – i think that’s your username.. fckin rubbish..
    I do realise now that Manchester City fans are brainless… That is why They say Manchester is full of idiots..All coz of you city fans.. The picture that you’ve shown, one has been taken from a greater height and other from a lower height and an open angle.. The pic of United’s parade that you’ve shown – there were fans on the other side too.. While City fans were only on one side.. And due to the height of the camera it may seem that United fans were less as compared to your’s – it’s false.., And ill let you know another fact that United fans were in thousands near the Old Trafford.. Be kind to display it here if you find it…
