I thought it was absolutely brilliant tonight,non stop singing for 90 minutes and when you consider their home support is embarrassingly bad it doesn't really make sense.

Only the same as us at Old Trafford and the contrast with us tonight. Home support in the Prem is pretty poor everywhere and we have caught the malaise.

Strange (well, not really) how they didn't have a Manc accent..

ManUre's away support is always loud, can't knock them for that. When one of their fans ends up with third degree burns from the flares they think it's hilarious to set off they might fucking grow up as well.......

Man United fans who go to games are absolutely fine. It's the ones in fucking Ireland/USA and everywhere else that piss me the fuck off.

It pains me but I agree.
Quite clearly more in there that should have been thought the isles were rammed.
Does anyone know if away tickets at the Brit are barcoded or not. I have a Utd supporting friend who has told me a few times about some grounds they go to where the don't have barcode or electronic turnstiles and they turn up with fake printed tickets and usually find a young(ish) turnstile operator just before/after kick off and pressure them to hurry up as the game has started etc and get in that way.

They were good. Just noticed a cockney twang to their singing though. And M6 southbound was rammed on way home

Is it really "away" support?

Sorry to disagree with this love in - made no more noise than any club given the entire end for a cup quarter final - predictable, tired old songs, formulaic and a bit embarrasing - still going on about Cantona FFS .......no real passion IMHO.

I cannot stand ManU and their gloryhunting hordes but their away support tonight was probably their proper hardcore fans and every one of them to a man sang in unison. It was impressive, only bettered by Besiktas and Hadjuk Split at theirs. BM

I always have a grudging respect for these down-on-their-luck teams that come to the Brit and continue to sing in the face of adversities such as their multi-million pound stars securing their place in the semi-finals of a major competition for only the 77th year in a row.

Oh come on, I think we least of all can accuse clubs of having "tired old songs", our set list consists of "Go On Stoke" and "Oh When The Reds". Derby came here a few years ago at the same stage and sang fuck all.

That's absolute bollocks. We may not like it but Man U's away support and song repertoire is outstanding, probably the best in the division and always has been. Just because their home ground is full of tourists doesn't mean we have to invent fairy tale nonsense about their away following.

Good post, sometimes the anti-Man United blinkers detract from facts.

I was embarrassed by how few Stoke Fans Turned Up, and more importantly, how few of you sung. Hang heads in shame, you all know who you are!!!
You may all moan about what was on the pitch for the game, it didn't inspire you, but get back to eating your prawn sandwiches and carry on moaning about the teams performance

All the tickets are barcoded,no barcode no access although the club were well aware of the fake ticket scam. While I can appreciate their vocal support there is always an element of United fans who never travel with tickets,trying everything possible to gain access for free.When they realised last night the ticket scam wasn't going to work a few got in by squeezing through the turnstiles two at a time ( one goes in with a valid ticket, another dashes through at the same time while a third blocks the operators view) and those that didn't manage that rushed one of the exit doors which had been opened to allow a disabled person access,knocking over a steward and literally running over him to get in. Yes they're noisy,yes they create an atmosphere but let's not forget they are some of the vilest fans to visit the Brit.A disgrace to football, the Premier league and in some cases mankind. Vile scum.

Never said we are the shining examples, indeed we're well tired also when it comes to a sing song .....I still find the Utd repertoire cheesy - its just my opinion . As someone said above, the Europeans know how to do it with that passion - Hajduk etc....An I love it when we get the bear pit going - a rare occurrence nowerdays . Put it this way, I wouldn't trade our bear pit response at its finest for a battery of nursery rhymes Again just IMHO

Away support is their hardcore, these are fans who go to nearly every away game in Europe and at home, very hard to break into the away supporting tickets queue according to my Manc mates. Just to be clear this was not the Cockney Reds, I travel upf rom London for every Stoke game and see Man Utd London fans on the train, there wer none yesterdya and I drove back and M6 South was not rammed!

A good case for banning them from the league match on Health & safety grounds, not keeping exits clear, refusing to clear exits, false entry through gates (they slag the scousers off about it)? Go on Scholes have some balls !

The thing is Northy the scousers try it on but with an element of humour, they get caught and it's a laugh with them.The element of scum with Utd try it on with total disregard and disrespect for anyone.They seem to think its their right to get in without paying and there's an aggressive nature to their antics.its every time they visit too, not just last night.
'We're Man United we'll do what we want' was a chant I heard last night.just about sums up their attitude to everyone.
