Empty seats

[dave u]

Anyone got any decent photo's of all the empty seats yesterday? Want to use it in the next issue with that quote of Ferguson's "I love all those empty seats" or whatever it was he said.

[Carradona]

I can get one of two manc fans sitting on their own after the game with empty seats around them, but I don't think that's what you are looking for, is it?

this in a match report from the times was class :

 

'Liverpool’s stirring march from deficit to profit saw them take the lead shortly before the interval with a collector’s item — a penalty against United at Old Trafford. Gerrard, brought down by Patrice Evra, got up to beat Van der Sar from 12 yards with a shot low to the goalkeeper’s left. Suddenly, the best team in the country were in trouble. A fearful hush came over nine-tenths of the stadium and, as Anderson whirled his arms, calling urgently for more support, the Liverpudlian minority chortled: “Fergie’s right, your fans are s***.” The fans were not alone.'

He was saying how he loves seeing empty seats , because it means the mancs have won. Can't remember what game it was after though.

Wasn't it the 3-1 in '97 when Pallister scored twice?

[longballs]

[Malarkey]

Careful with the 'lest we forget', cos it's about Munich.

 

Otherwise, go for it! (6)

Correct, sir.

 

Title decider?

 

Clutching at straws I know but......

[Scott_M]

I picked a fine game to miss my first match there in 11 years!

 

Nothing would have given me more pleasure than waving those bitches out the ground at the end. Nothing.

I thought there was a bomb scare,the way the Mancs abandoned ship

IT ENDED 4-1, MAN UTD TELLS FANS

MANCHESTER United used text messages to inform fleeing supporters of Saturday's defeat by Liverpool as thousands left Old Trafford early and caught the train back to London.

 

 

There's no point spending more time in Manchester than you have to

It is the first time the club has used its new £20 a month subscription service which also includes a selection of talking points, a football 'word of the day' and the names of key players from both teams.

 

Julian Cook, a season ticket holder from Primrose Hill, said: "How ghastly. Does that mean that Liverpool win the big cup? Or is it just the league thingy?

 

"As long as it wasn't the big European whatsit because I've arranged to meet up with some friends in Barcelona next month and do a bit of shopping."

 

As the final whistle blew on Saturday only three United fans remained in the ground after their wheelchair helpers gave up and headed to the car park.

 

Liverpoool manager Rafa Benitez said: "At first I think Ferguson do this deliberate as some kind of spooky mind game in latest pathetic attempt to drive me insane.

 

"But then I realise that United fans are very busy peoples with Blackberries who no have time to see their team lose."

 

Meanwhile Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson was banned from giving post-match television interviews after producers decided that the rapidly changing colours of his incandesecent face could trigger thousands of epileptic fits.

 

Speaking off-camera he said: "I felt we were better than Liverpool, although the score doesn't reflect that. I also feel that Ho Chi Minh City is just outside of Knutsford, although the Ordnance Survey map doesn't reflect that."
