Just seen that the official attendance for lasts nights match was over 74000 htf do they think people believe that figure
Did they add the attendance from Sunday's abandoned match to last nights attendance?
 
It's tickets sold rather than those attending, so no doubt they counted those sold for Sunday's game. Doubt there was more than 40,000 there.

We've all done it mate. In fairness it was dark and all concerned were pissed. I personally hold the black dude who used to come round selling roses responsible. He was clearly sober and in a position to point out to us that we were groping a pig in knickers.

It's so obvious now it's embarrassing.

Those BBC c****'s over at Mediacity will do anything to appease United after upsetting the GPC and his Son.

Tonight.

Analysis
BBC Sport's Simon Stone at Old Trafford.

"Manchester United are known for their worldwide support and it is true that fans tend to come from far and wide to games at Old Trafford.

"Evidently, with the FA Cup final to come on Saturday, many decided, at 48 hours' notice, this was a match too far.

"United count season ticket holders in their attendance figures whether they are present or not. Officially, since the ground was expanded to its current capacity, their lowest Premier League crowd was 73,401 for the visit of Stoke in January 2011.

"I can say with absolute certainty that the crowd tonight is below that, although the same could be said for the visits of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace last month, when higher figures were recorded."

But my personal favourite:

"We have to take care of that, but nevertheless, when everybody was fit we were first in the league, and these are the facts."

Would have won the league if it wasn't for injuries, don't you know?

Let's hope they fall for it.

Did the turtle actually come out with that bullshit? The rags were top for a total of 8 days while injury ravaged City were top for 100 days. Even Palace were second for 16 days, only one day short of the rags.

Just a thought ... how many top european players have the rags been "linked with", "close to signing", "on the hit list" in the last two months and which of these superstars will even give them a thought now there's no Champions League. We all know that players have short memories and look after themselves so do they honestly think that they have any chance of any of their targets. Next year if they fail to qualify again the top players will say "Manchester who ?".

I'm hoping their window will start with Real taking their keeper. That will set the tone nicely.
 
Just spotted this on Twitter;



I guess the irony was a little lost on him/her! Any of you lot on Twitter care to, er, put him/her right on one or two issues? I would, but I'm not on Twitter (no friends, see?).

The rags have 55,000 S/T holders in a stadium with a capacity of 75,500. They claimed an attendance of about 74,363, a mere 1,000 below capacity. So while counting the 55,000 S/T holders in the official attendance they're saying there were close to 20,000 non S/T holders who turned up last night. Seeing as the actual attendance wasn't much above 35,000 (apart from acres of space all over the ground the top tier of the GPC stand was deserted) how do they reconcile this?

Ah, yes. But the rest of us live in the real world. Those fuckers live in some kind of alternate reality, where the swamp is ALWAYS jam-packed regardless of what the real figures say. Fellaini has never ever been a dirty player who elbows opponents, Rooney has never once argued with an official about a decision, the Ginger Pig never once set out to harm an opposing player, Giggs has never had eyes for another woman, and Young (alongside every single player who has ever represented the vermin since Satan spawned the club) has never in the entire history of football dived to try and win a dodgy penalty.
On the contrary. The club has been a shining example of integrity, fairness, honesty and humility: a lesson us mere mortals should learn from.

They painted their mascots blue in order to promote their new film. What a soulless institution it is.

Those mascots should just be thankful they didn't have bombs attached to them to get the game called off (all sponsored by some plastic explosives company).
