Everyone at the game on Wednesday please show your suport and wear the green and gold.

A friend of mine has come up with a great scrave twirling song that could get the house rocking.

" Viva United Viva United wont give up the fight till Glazers out of sight Viva United"

Spread the word everyone, fill all boards and forums with this tune it would be class if everyone in the ground got onto it.

@Macheda IS GOD

Yes I did notice Berbatov's control and flick to Rooney. Yea a ball dropping out the sky controlled it let it bounch a flick with the outside of his foot and to find Rooney.....yea nice but hardly artistry and to say Rooney was amazed isn't half exagurating. Anyone of us in here could have done that, it wasn't an amazing peice of skill. This isn't having a go' I just get a bit tired when fans go into raptures everytime he does a bog standard flick of the ball with the outside of his foot. That turn against West Ham last season = great skill.....bog standard flicks every week = standard!

@Giggs etc

What happended to "In Fergie We Trust"? How about showing support for him when he says that the owners have been "terrfic" and that these protests will do nothing but "play into the hands of those that want to see United fail " and that they distract the team?

Your not UNITED if you don't trusr Fergie. LU - IFIT

Dave Mack - I am in massive support of Fergie hence we always get Fergie's red and white army going.

I also completely disagree with his pre match comments in the programme! The Glazer demo is not against him or not trusting him. It is the debt we pay to the Glazers.

Are you happy that profit generated by us the fans are paying off their interest? Are you happy they have not put a penny in but have taken a 100 million out on admin fees?

Are you happy you have to be forced to pay for cup games to have a season ticket, or the fact you have to pay fro Carling cup games to apply for aways and get chubbed every game!

Are you happy the Glazers dont talk to fans and have had to refinance us for 500 million because they cant afford to run us with the debts.

Are you happy that Carrington and Old Trafford have had to be put up as a gurantee if we cant make payment in 2017?

Sorry mate, this is not a rant at you and it is certanly not a rant at Fergie. I dont want to see United fall, as disalusioned as I have been I have continued to go home and away following the boys.

I just want these greedy yanks to fuck off and leave us alone!

Is anyone seriously worried about the long term future of United? At the end of the day any damage would only be short term. There will all ways be some rich Arab or a rich consortium of some sort that would rescue the club. Of course no one wants the Glazers at United, sut seriously United will all ways be saved in the end unlike other clubs.

LAds,

Im glad that there are people on the same wavelength as me.

The main thing i am worried about is that it will effect our performances on the pitch! Specialy a campaigne for no real reasons! Apart from people dont like the fact the Glazers own the club and have bought it with a debt!

We buy Cars on HP, Houses with Mortgages, Business's get bought with Loans all the time. Whats the problem!!!

We only go by what the papers say and i suppose if its in the News of the World it has to be true! ... Oh crap... Rooneys going to barcelona in July for 60 Mil.. Who we going to buy to replace him?

Look what happened at Newcastle last year, not that the anti Ashley campaign put them down but certainly didnt help!

Do i really want to listen to an Anti Glazer song when we are 1-0 down and needing a result?.. hell no... I want something to spur the lads on!

Maybe the lot of this campaign has came out of Jealousy for Shity and Chelsea... Not every team can have sugar daddies!... Live with it!

Gary, yes I am worried mate! They cant run the club at alarming interest rate but people are not bothered as long as we win trophies!

People are happy they have done something at the spiralling debt for the bond issue? Come on people do you think they bonds have been bought by football people or just people who know they can make on United just like the Glazers do. What will happen when the bonds mature in 2017?

Why should the money the fans put in pay for not only the interest on the bonds but also there PIK's?

Do you not find it alarming that you can get a ticket for the game easily? Where has the demand gone? Five years ago you would wait years for a season ticket, my mate just randomly phoned them in the summer and bought one there and then and could choose where he wanted to sit.

Do i think that is alarming then yes I really do, if revenues drop how will they surface the debt?

With regards to Glazers debt i fail to see it has effected the club too much!

Ticket Prices have went up, But not by an unacceptable amount!

Fergie Still gets a Handsome transfer budget!

Old Trafford is Old Trafford and not Sports Direct @ Old Trafford

We still own our ground!

What cracks me up is that a Report in the Sun about the Glazers is taken as Gospel... In the same paper Rooney going to Barcelona for 60 mil is ignored as lies!

We cant really go on what papers say, we have to go on facts.

Can you or anyone else please tell me something.

What has changed to the club from pre Glazer ownership that has effected our team?

He has played on the right a number of times before!

when i look at nani he has awsome abilities, he just needs to gain experience and improve... It will come with time, but mistakes and inconsistancy will also happen!

We have to be a little patient!!

I have no doubt that when nani is 28 he will be a world class winger!..... I just hope he is still with us and not driven out of the club!

Trevor I appreciate what your saying and I do agree with the football element of things. The team and SAF have been world class for years and that is not in dispute for me.

Listen I am not trying to preach as everyone has their own opinion on the running of the club.

I just have my view on the Glazers debt and it is a position we should not be in when we generate more revenue than any team in any sport in the world.

I am very concerned that Old Trafford has been put up in collateral against the bonds.

Sorry for boring everyone this morning people that is just my view and i am personally glad that a lot of people in the ground feel the same.

Best atmosphere in ages yesterday!

Yes the Glazers use the club to pay the debts on their Finances!

Plenty of Clubs over the years took money from their clubs. i would like to highlight west ham prior to it being bought by the Icelander... Where did all the money go from the following sales, Carrick, Lampard, Ferdinand, Cole... + the rest!

People arnt worried as long as we win trophies?......... Erm well i guess if you dont invest in your team and area able to compete with the Top teams financialy then you stop winning trophies!

Question for you , Financialy in the Transfer Market who would be above us in the premier league... id say the teams that have sugar Daddies...... Chelsky and Shity.......... Id put us third! (Although i think Chelsky Sugar Dady purchases are over, and would say we are on a par or seccond but time will tell)

Ticket Availability - I would put that down to the Resession or Financial Downturn.... Living has become more expensive ( general food, petrol, Living in general) Wages have not increased for the majority as major companies have used it as a No pay rise this year due to the climate...... Then bloody release record profits year end!...

In fergie we trust........ Has fergie shown any alarm at how the club is being run?......... Do you not think for one minute that if the club was being effected he would not say anything??

Lastly......Do you think this campaignwould have a positive effect on the players and our performance level?

@giggs11gerrard0

Your opinion is respected we all have views and that is what football is all about. The banter, Conflicting views and the love and support of the team.

One thing with regards to the atmosphere, the more availability of tickets will help the atmosphere... More people there week in week out knowing the songs, knowing the banter and Enjoying it.... Less one trip poneys!

When my financial situation improves then i will get along for a few, i previously had boycotted going due to not being able to get tickets regularly.

Outling of that situation was.. Was a member for 6 years with 1 united, Tried to get a season ticket which i could afford but couldnt afford the Additional Cup Ties.....Signed my Wife up for one membership and appied for every sat or sun home game until christmas and failed to get 1 pair of tickets... Purchased a pair from a mate Paying more than i should have and the seats where appart! It was the man city derby a few years ago think we won 3-1, or 3-0 my memory fails!......... The atmosphere of fans i was sitting with was pants!... not much singing, Too many one trip poneys like i was at the time!

i go to some crystal palace games with my nephews and the atmosphere is blinding, Constant singing, Real good crack.. Never had that experience at old trafford... Maybe i am always sitting in the wrong section i dont know!

Trev mate we just offer different opinions , we will have to agree to disagree on this one pal.

I dont dislike your opinion i just believe in mine! Ecomonmic downturn it maybe!

Do you think the 15,000 season tickets not renewed last year was down do the recession? We won the league for the third and it was easier than ever to get a season ticket?

I bet a lot more lads who have been going for years dont renew this season, due to the hurrendous opt in scheme!

The only people that is hurting is the fans, In a dossary for the bonds these fuckers including the sell out Gill boasted that they could sell out every game and raise prices in the recession.

King Eric January 24, 2010

Trev - Do you live in London pal? For some reason I thought you were Irish. You can come and sit in North Stand and force some of the plastic cunts out. I am two rows in front of the boxes in Tier 2. Every game there are different people in this one box. Yesterday there were these horrible smug looking cunts with their bitches. One of the lasses was pissed up. Shouting stuff like "Man U, Rock on" and "come on Man U". One lad when Fagan dived shouted "oh well done Craig" sarcastically. She then shouted "come on Craig" thinking he was one of our players!! Anyway midway through the second half one of the lads near me shouted "will you shut your fucking mouth". Everyone started cheering and clapping. She never opened her mouth for the remainder. Just why the fuck are these kind of cunt's polluting our OT?

@giggs11 etc. and @trevor

Great discussion. Obviousily from my previous posts you know I side with trevor but we're all concerned about the club and trying to get to the truth re our financial position. You raise good questions and without answering them individually my conclusion is that our financial condition is stronger this week than last week ...but you wouldn't believe it reading the papers or listening to ABU's.

Even though that moron @Bebeto calls me a "patronising cock" because I say "Your not UNITED if you don't trust Fergie" the pun in that message is unless we stick behind Fergie we're going to become divided.

Understand what I'm saying ..... we don't have to agree about this (and we all have different views on football matters) but this is a time to stay united and stick behind the manager and the team. Not distract it through useless protests.

Bebeto January 24, 2010

King Eric, I'm surprised you didn't slap the silly bitch. There seems to be new people further down from me every game. During one game a lad just wouldn't put his camera away. You know that they get into work on Monday, boasting about how they've been to watch "Man U".

Whilst the away fans are taunting us with the "your support is fucking shit!" chant, people like that make it hard to disagree.

Bebeto - I was very tempted pal. However she was threatening to "get her tits out" so I wanted to see that first as she was pretty tasty! Stay at the fucking Yate's bitch and leave football to those who know what they are talking about. It is different people EVERY single game round me apart from one or two.

Ulster Red - Yeah I am a bit concerned mate that the wrong people are getting involved and don't actually know what they are appealing and shouting about. Really hope it does not infringe on our season.

AL January 24, 2010

Haven't been reading the comments in abit but I gotta say, I'm kinda disheartened at the rift that is appearing between us.

Both sides have their valid takes on the issue, the Glazers have managed to saddle us (unnecessarily) with debts huge enough to buy a few countries, but anti-glazer chants are not exactly morale boosting for our players.

Perhaps we took too long to realize how dire a situation we are in, but we didn't have the kind of financial information we do now. Think about it, would SAF be stupid enough to speak out against the Glazers knowing damn well it will spark a mass revolt and very possibly force them out at the expense of our team? Would he want to be known as the man who managed that?

I wouldn't think so. I want the Glazers out, but not at the expense of our team. So I'm gonna sit on the fence for this one. I trust SAF, but I'm not gonna turn a blind eye to the very real threats that our club is facing.

Here's to hoping we give shiety what they deserve and remain where we belong on the table.

COME ON UNITED (players and SAF, not owners)

Annoying that people are suggesting that we drop Berbatov in favour of Nani after one good performance. Berbatov has been great for us this season.

I'm not a season ticket holder but go up quite regularly n the atmosphere varies on where u sit, n it was a very united all round with the glazer chants. On a footballing note, the confidence in the team by rio's return was great, n that of vds. Now we will get going
