Stoke fans were more concerned with booing our players than they were with cheering their own on when they visited Old Trafford last season. I can’t stand that small-time mentality, an obsession with another team that makes hating another team more important than supporting theirs.
Stoke are famed for their great support though and have loads of original songs. “Your support is fucking shit!” is possibly their favourite, maybe only bettered by “We support our local team”. Incredible. But then, they do have an old Tom Jones number to belt out to put us to shame too.
Saying that, I am puzzled as to what happened today, with them being outsung by our “shit support” all afternoon, with plenty of them starting to leave well before the final whistle. Best fans in the country? Yeh, just like Liverpool’s are!
On every count, we showed them up today. “We support our local team!” they chanted. “You support a load of shit!” we countered. “Stand up if you hate Man U!” they sang. “Stand up for the Champions!” we responded. Then, with chants of “Fergie, what’s the time?” our manager stood up and pointed to his watch. Time you went home, you sad, small time bastards.
“Where’s your famous atmosphere?” our fans finally sung, after songs for Giggs, Scholes, O’Shea, Best, Wes Brown etc. No response. We sang it again, followed by a “Shhhhhh”. Absolute silence. But those shithouses will no doubt come to Old Trafford later in the season telling us our atmosphere isn’t up to much, whilst berating our players, cheering our mistakes, and spending little time thinking about what their team is up to. Sad.
United, top of the league, United, United top of the league!
Man Utd News 24/7
Love it. Love Football. Love United. Having a Chinese takeaway tonight. The perfect day.
Thank fuck Cheksea got found out. They play shit. We will destroy them I tell ya. Cech sent off as well.
We are top of the league, say we are top of the league.
Best fans in the country by miles.
United simply the best
today fm commentator wouldnt shut up about how great stokes fans where today! eh pal that was the little section behind the goal making all the noise as every away match united go
Our God is so quick!
Yes, we are top of the league.
Burnley lost 0-5 today, 4 goals from Keane. But, anyway..
Horeeeee
Finally Chelsea was defeated by other team
so now, there is no club undefeated.
brilliant giggsy. what do we do without him?
great match today, we played some bloody good football. giggs is now as vital to us as rooney is. just love him.
stoke fans the best? what a fucking joke. our away support is the best in the league by far. loved how fergie responded to the crowd, sheer class fergie, as usual.
bloody good day, chelsea lost. the arse and us put 4/5 goals against wigan!
we’re top of the league, top of the league!
Stoke do not deserve to be in the Premiership. Today there was only one team on the pitch that wanted to play football.
I am really sorry that we missed all those chances and did not give them a true trouncing that they deserved.
As for Stoke fans, what fans? Could not hear them at all. Our away support is second to none!!
for those of you slagging foster off where are yous now???! thats the way to silence them ben keep it up! good win lads! the ginger prince MOM
Stoke fans have one of the worst small-time mentalities going. It’s up their with the bitters. It’s something to do with them being a glorified Championship team. Playing us is a big occassion for them.
To the stoke fans, this is wat it feels to be city .
Their fans are retarded.
Not only is our away support the best in the league, but it is also local and dedicated.
Why Stoke fans should pick on the strongest point of our identity or indeed why they should feel the need to enter into an exchange of banter that they were never going to win, is a mystery.
Even when Ryan Giggs missed his one on one, he was jeered. This after he came on and clearly changed the game in our favor.
I don’t think Stoke fans understand the game at all. They cheer when they get throw ins and shout hoof when we make routine clearances.
They remind me of Boro fans who last season accused our support of being fucking shit, despite regularly not filling their stadium and being outsung comprehensively.
foster sounded as if he had a comfortable afternoon a few testing crosses but thats all they have. listening to 5 live they are stll had to mention ronaldo and tevez. havent we scored 17 goals just in the prem in 7 games. and we don’t really hit any kind of form until october so we will be up to 3 a game by the time we get to play the dirty scousers.
fletch and scholes ruled the middle even though they had three in there. has fletch got a song yet
oshea scoring again has somone sed earlier still doesn’t know how to celebrate. hargo was there vds back in 3 weeks 4th league in a row easy easy easy
“So fucking easy, oh this is so fucking easy!!”
Stoke had not shot on target the whole day and could only defend. One sided play. No threat whatsoever.
Watched the game on tele, the Man Utd support amazed me since this ground was suppose to be so loud. Loved hearing songs like “Stand up for the champions”, “Ryan Giggs will tear you apart” and many many more….
Good job lads…
fergie, whats the time, fergie fergie whats the time haha brilliant when ferguson showed the watch… top o de league and thats a fact
@rachelreddevil
it was me who said he doesnt know how to celebrate a few weeks ago, love watchin him score hes a legend of a man, see the sportsmanship when he tried to get rory delap of stoke off without a yellow, top man, quality header!!
When Stoke fans sing deliala and Oh when the stoke, its very loud and pretty decent, but its easy to do that ins a small shed where they have 20,000 home fans all packed in, a bit like Portsmouth.
But that aside, their array of songs is poor and they kept singing “Whos that dying on the runway”.
Didnt think Utds fans were that brilliant today, could have done much better and been a lot more in sync, with seperate songs at different parts of the stands, but we were a decent away bunch, as we were at Spurs.
The away support over the last 2 years has dropped quite a bit, with far to many corporates and one game reds turning up in the support, not to mention an element of younger reds who emarass the support with beer throwing and the like. Even so, you wont find a better away support accross any division.
watched the 1st half over on justins telly channel,we bossed it so i was never in doubt we would win,also its a fucking hard place to get 3 points as chelsea found out a few weeks back, needing a last minute goal to beat em.
a few will go there and come away with nowt.
Untd have the best away support in the world only celtic come close.
Stoke are a team of hammer throwers but they play to their strengths I don’t dislike them or under rate them, plenty of sides will drop points to them this year.
Haven’t actually seen the game as was working but had it on Radio. Did I hear “we all live in a Georgie Best world”?
rachelreddevil – I have to say though on 5live today one commentator said “I just cannot see any team pipping United to their 4th in a row”. Soon changed their fucking tune.
As for the rentboys I fully expect the rot to set in now. Ancelotti was animated and as I said weeks ago when he managed in Italy he had no answer when things were going against his teams. The Scouser’s are next up for them while we play Sunderland at home.
Some quality chants today
“We love Fergie Time, say we love Fergie Time”
“Fergie, whats the time, Fergie Fergie whats the time”
“Its just like watching Port Vale”
“Stand up for the champions”… seconds later, a load of Stoke fans stood up, so we all cheered!!!
When the 4 minutes was announced “We want 6, we want 6, we want 6″
The 4 minutes added time got a response too, which prompted all the “Fergie Time” chants, about 4 different ones within the space of 3 minutes. United have some genius fans. Especially the one who came up with the new Wes Brown chant, its quality!!!
Much better atmosphere than my first ever away game, this seasons Wigan away game
Well they did sing “Who’s that Dieing in the Run way” munich Chant… I found that quite harsh, their not even our rivals for fucking sake! Are they trying to be the new leeds?
SteRDLK – The Wes Brown chant is fucking mint. It was sang on Wednesday for a good ten minutes. Superb chant.
CANNOT believe they were singing Munich chants. Actually I can, small time cunts.
The Wes Brown song is great, but some think they have to sing it all game, even when hes not playing. Moderation is the key.
The “We want 6″ was a bit embarrasing, given that Wolves sung it on Wednesday.
Our away support is pretty awesome.
Is that Lee Sharpe in the picture at the top dressed as Elvis??!!
Didn’t the fans once sing “Fergie give us a wave Fergie Fergie Give us a wave” then I saw Fergie give a little wave sitting
Thanks for confirming my worst fears about them stooping to the Munich chant.
There’s a noticeable difference between good fans and horrible fans. Good fans are those shouting their team onto victory, whilst showing appreciation for current and past stars. Bad fans – erm, that’ll be Stoke. When you’re being outplayed and outsung, resort to the most pitiful antics possible.
Stoke aren’t accustomed to success because they don’t deserve it. A mid-table place is as much as they’ll ever muster.
“There should be no conceit in victory and no despair
in defeat”
They’d do well to remember that. Until then, they can wallow in long throws and each other’s spittle, whilst hurrying to berate the opposition before praising their own team.
You could definitely hear the United fans on the television. My fave was one Vidic was arguing with a Stoke player who kept grabbing his shirt as they were getting ready for Giggs’ free kick, and then you heard the “Nemanja, whooooah…”
Fergie showing them his watch was so GD hilarious.
have heard a new chant going around,is that the wes brown one? How does is go?
staffred
Hes big hes bad hes Wesley Brown
Hes the ‘ardest man in all the town
Hes orange everywhere
So come and have a go if ya dare
Jessie
The chant lasted ahout 5 seconds coz Sheasy scored, and then we sang When Johnny Goes Marching Down the Wing for 5 mins.
Bebeto
It was so pleasing for us to sing “Oh this is so fucking easy” towards the end, they are small club with a small club mentality, two chants they sung, whilst the only other noise I could hear them make was when our players made a “mistake”. Wish we would have thumped them, especially on reading that they sung Munich chants, which I didnt hear at the game.
Anybody who says our fans are shit obviously dont listen to our away fans, who regularly outsing the home teams support. I can only dream of the day when the majority of our fans creating an atmosphere for a “small” game such as todays.
A Chelsea Liverpool draw next week would be wonderful. We could then open a 5 point advantage
He’s big he’s bad he’s Wesley Brown
The meanest man in all the town
With orange hair, beware
Come and have a go if you dare
@Scott : thanks for the correction. love that chant. hope Wes starts playing soon.
Its “Hardest man in all of town”
i was disgusted to see a group of about 12 Stoke fans following a blind utd fan (Obvious that he was blind due to his white stick) and his dad along the road chanting Munich songs to them, do these people have no limits to how low they can sink?
Stoke fans might want to remember, that if Utd hadnt have bought Greenhoff off them when we did, they would have went bust and had to sell their old ground, so if it wasnt for Utd, they might not even have a club.
nice one!
nice one,thanks for the chant info!
Stoke=small time club with a small mentality,cant believe the sick bastards who still chant this stuff,where’s the authority to stamp this out,racist chantin is not tolerated,so why should this,it disgusts me!!
Some classy Stoke fans……

Came home to Norway yesterday after amongst other things standing at Britannia stadium shouting all the above-mentioned as often as possible on Saturday. Was my first away-game, and a fu**cking awesome atmosphere amongst the United fans. Already thinking about the next time I’ll be able to experience that…
