Does anyone know how many fans we took. I’m away so watched on TV but it looked a good turnout.

Will there be a fanzone thing at The Etihad for the final? We are at the arctic monkeys gig at the proper Old Trafford the night before so can't see me being in a fit state for a coach trip annoyingly

Last final was a live screen over at the academy. So expect the same. CTID

Spotted the Goat in Corley services on the way back, and Dickov in the Hilton before the game. The spirit of '99 blessing a good day.

Good atmosphere in the ground and a great game. Thought Sheffield Untied tried to go for it but our midfield and forward presss dictated the play. That early save from Ortega was crucial. Mahrez has gone from over criticised to dependable, in recent seasons. Pleased he can stand out.

Some media hounds will be critical of our crowd number, new international support blah, blah, but to spend that kind of money, time and efforts to go to Wembley for a semi that should be at a neutral northern venue speaks volumes. Proud to be a blue.

we cant of been only blues in traffic it was flick of a coin to go or turn back but these day's im not great a stress

It was fucking horrendous, even worse near wembley, last time I drive there, going to book outside wembley for the final and get tube in. Just not worth the stress.

To be honest the behaviour on our side of the ground before that game wasn’t much better. Any united coach going past was absolutely pelted with cans outside the Greyhound. It would certainly be a moody day against them which is a shame when there are so many kids and families at the games now.

I moved away from the greyhound when a so called Blue threw a bottle and caused a horrific injury to a fellow Blue.

That's absolutely true, no one should go to a match and worry about assaults of any kind. Going home upset because of a result is acceptable but not because of anything else.

Horrible. Cans were flying over coaches and onto the other side of the road where they could have hit anyone. Late kick offs don’t help with this.
