Great great times. Patting themselves on the back because a few turned up to protest because city are that far in front! In the cold light of day the biggest ever "football club" managed to mobilise a few hundred dressed in sports direct gear to sing about us... it'll die down as the season now ends and the glazer boys will carry on taking whatever the fuck they want, absolutely fantastic!
 
Half and halfs at a protest FFS

The sight of so many people both individually and collectively literally shitting themselves trying not to be the one who condemns the protesters has been nauseating. With the exception of Graeme Souness, who clearly got the corporate message to button it part way through, everybody else must have splinters in their arses. Policemen injured, flares/cans thrown, property damaged ... just a "mindless few" in a relatively peaceful protest. The worst image was of them trying to 'roll' somebody's car over on Chester Road, that could have been any one of our family in that car and it's disgraceful that the media are complicit in ensuring that it doesn't receive any coverage. It really does demonstrate the stranglehold Man U still retain over the media, I know it's a tired cliche but it's absolutely true on this occasion: if that had been fans of any other club they would be getting pilloried by the media, the PL, the FA and fans of every club, and rightly so.
I won't be holding my breath, but if there aren't meaningful sanctions applied to Man U then there is every chance this type of protest, with the aim of ensuring a match abandonment, could become common place. Their fans have shown that they are determined and capable of causing damage, fear and injury and their club has shown, once again, that they are powerless to protect the safety of people and the security of their premises. That isn't a situation that can either be allowed to continue or go unpunished.

Have to say in a little surprised that not one of the papers I have seen do far has show s picture of the violent side of yesterday.

They had a policeman covered in blood, glass bottles bring chucked at officials and fans squaring up to each other to choose from. But most just show fans with flares.

Why? Isn't showing the other side of the 'protest' just or, or even more, newsworthy? Why wouldn't they show the pictures? Starting to smell very odd this.

Utd are the media favourites same as the the friendly scouse bunch along the 62. Violent actions like yesterday and the mass attacks on the City bus are airbrushed aside and downplayed. Where as anything remotely bad has to be to do with City and is emphasised and exagerated. Sadly its the same Caroline Flack side of the media, picking sides and making things up to suit their agenda to get more clicks. True investigative jounalism seems to have died a death long ago.

There was supposed to be 10,000 turning up, was there issues with bank holiday rail work around Euston station?
