International Coach
I presume you make it to the Stretford End? The fans there are as good as any in the world. I went to the Manchester Derby a few years back, and the atmosphere was incredible. They didn't sit down or shut up for the whole game. Even when Shaun Goater equalised with five minutes to go there was only a few seconds of silence before they piped up again.

I went to the Fulham game earlier this year- the 3-0 win- and could only get tickets to the North Stand, and the fans were really disappointing. There was barely a single chant or song and great goals were met with polite applause. I felt like a kid with Tourettes at the opera. The reputation obviously doesn't apply to all United fans, but i can certainly see where it comes from.
Have been in the Stretford end a fair few times, always a laugh, Scoreboard end aint too bad at times.

Usually were in the North Stand, incidently last game I was at was that very Fulham game, was quite noisy down our end (Scoreboard end, right on line with the goal-line, back row of 2nd tier), but thats just a few brilliant people we sit round, isnt the liveliest area of the ground I agree, and being far back into the stand dont really get the surround of the atmosphere you get in the front rows.

From a blog on manutd.com... "One of the journalists posed a question on the plane: name three players who've played at five clubs who have won the European Cup. Four of us struggled and could name just one - Ronaldo (the other one)."

This is doing my head in. Anyone able to give us at work a hand?
So we've got Fat Ronnie and Davids..... gonna have to think on this.....
