It presents a good image to the rest of the world, exciting, emotional and spontaneous. Proper fans.

I particularly liked the announcements once people were on the pitch, and it was good to see the pitch clear so quickly to let the presentation take place.

Only it didn't did it? The fact that people had had to be asked many times. That fans had to boo and chant off. It IS small time. I don't want to see fat women waving to people in the stands, men skidding on the damp grass and kids doing cartwheels and seeing who can be last off. I could understand QPR. The WHU one was just not needed and for this time it would have been good to see the players' immediate reactions rather than the aforementioned fat women, kids and fifty year old men, trying to climb the goalposts. I genuinely wanted the last few off to be arrested and banned. I defiantly wanted the ones who ran on during the lap of honour banned.

You'd fit right in at Old Trafford, Jesus. It's not like it's going to happen every year, the reason it has done in both of our titles wins is because how close it was. This year whilst it wasn't at dramatic as qpr, just a month ago we looked to be completely out and the press were crowning Liverpool champions, then with just a few games to go we snatched it away again. So really, stop worrying about what United fans think of us... They're irrelevant now. You only have to look at Demichelis reaction to see how it was justified.
MaineRoadBlue said:It's not so much the pitch invasion but the complete incompetence of the stewards who can't come up with an organised plan to get the fans back in their seats.
Asking the bloke who announces the team to try and organise 10,000 fans, most of them drunk, to comply with what needs to be done by a series of one liners was pathetic.
Why don't the stewards form a line and start walking the crowd backwards rather than milling around asking fans on an individual basis to go back to their seats?
