Were the trams crammed for you Acou? I was in them yesterday, unbelievably cramped. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

only got one, from Pic to OT about 45 mins before ko

was surprisingly okay actually. I got on before it was busy at all and sat down. wasnt THAT bad even after picking up more fans along the way.

only 15 min journey or something anyway isnt it

[ACou2000]

ffs rejected for Boro ballot /o\

ANOTHER possible trip to viagoscam

[Nick OGS20]

i've given up on trams now the weather is improving, have walked there and back the last handful of games. it's a bastard of a walk but i reckon it cancels out any beer/pies i may consume around the stadium

the trams are getting ever more ridiculously jammed anyway it seems, and when it starts getting warm there is nothing worse than being crammed on one of those bad-boys

[ACou2000]

and whoever said "5 MORE WINS" ... I hate you. making it sound so easy

the stretty was absolutely rocking yesterday. the acoustics of the south stand really must be atrocious :/

well, either that or all the megastore carrier bags rustling drowned us out </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Was pretty much the same when I sat there for the Everton game.

It always sounds grand when I'm in the Stretty, though. Pretty good in the East, too.

[ACou2000]

literally CANNOT wait to be sitting in the Stretty for Roma

[BBB]

sitting?!

gtf

[ACou2000]

yeah I'll be the ONE c**t sitting down for the full 90 minutes.

would I get punched?

[Weststandred]

The atmosphere against Roma will be top, unfortunatley i'll only be watching it on rubbish Irish television. "Ronaldo is about to take a free for Man U"

[BBB]

I'll march up there and beat you up mate

[Razor Eddie]

Bet you don't get to sit for long.

[Razor Eddie]

Steward near me yesterday was doing his crust.

Every time he got everybody sat down, three lads were up with "Stand up and support your team". Same three, every time.

[BBB]

worst.song.ever

[ACou2000]

but seriously, standing is of course fb

probably best for my own safety too, when I jumped straight from sitting to standing/punching the air when Scholes scored yesterday, I completey lost my balance and was kinda half cheering half leaning backwards like a tw*t desperately trying not to fall onto the people behind.

[Nick OGS20]

stewards in stretty lower tried to get us to sit down once, incredibly half-heartedly, we attacked as they did so so everyone got up anyway and then they just gave up. wise move

speaking of which, I demand Park be given a different song

I mean anti-scouse stuff is great and all, but Park deserves better than just a thinly/not at all veiled one of those.

[BBB]

haha, I nearly killed keith when Scholes' scored

poor bastard

aye hate being crammed in them on a nice day (here is where someone would normally mention something about Manchester weather) as they're like a sauna. Though at least they have windows that open, unlike the modern express train coaches which are beasts on a hot day when the air con breaks down.

[ACou2000]

cant believe I get a better sense of the atmosphere watching a youtube clip of the Scholes goal than when I was there ffs

[Nick OGS20]

few pictures from the danny wallace fundraiser. i swear the scouse comedian looks like a cross between jamie carragher and bez

[ACou2000]

haha he definitely does

I think that I said 5 more wins please, so at least I was polite.

CBA to check but I doubt I was the only one.

[Nick OGS20]

nothing wrong with the 'X MORE WINS' sentiment at all

[BBB]

in the next 2 weeks, I get to go to Roma away and the semi

YAS

[Nick OGS20]

i'm going to a youth cup semi and an fa cup semi, HAVE THAT

[Bagpuss]

No one is going to any cup semi without paying for the ticket first

[JulesMUFC]

[Coldberg]

You see that tall handsome beast at the front of the queue for tickets?

Yeah just try getting past me.

[Bagpuss]

I'd prefer the away game first, we get 2 goals and take a lead to Old Trafford, though Porto </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

If you exclude qualifiers, we've only scored two in the away leg of knockout european game 3 times since we won the cup winers cup in '91, and only once this decade.

[alilaw]

Yeah, I'm bloody gutted we're away first.

if he pays you back his full debt before i pay you back mine, you can double what i owe you

i'll have the money for the semi no problem. sorry to disappoint all the vultures circling

[gonch19]

oh yeh dudes, got in an argument with 3 spurs fans on friday about glazer. they were saying we are in no worse a position with him in charge, the fact we're in net profit for transfers 'is proof of shrewd financial management' (i know), as long as we do well on the pitch no-one cares etc etc to the point where i left the pub in disgust.

i tried explaining it all but they wouldnt listen.

[Nick OGS20]

and yeah, i'd much rather be home first. keep it tight, don't concede any away goals and then pick them off on the counter in the second leg. if we played as we should play that'd be even more the case. as it is, with our current style, i can almost picture 0-0 in Rome and then them picking us off as we desperately try to manafacture a goal using our brilliant 451 at OT.

I really think we were lucky to avoid that against Lille. A 0-0 looked far more on the cards, especially given the nature of the goal we did score. Until that went in, i was really feeling it was going to be 0-0 away, score draw at home, which would be typical of us in europe over the years.

Which method, memory or Juni?

'94 first round, even then we lost that game 3-2, although we won the tie.

[Nick OGS20]

memory of course

just worked back through the years, figured it had to be that really although i couldn't remember the exact score
