Really? No shit? So you would have taken winning the league ... wow shocker.
What a tool.

There's Manc fans on my Facebook going on about how "disappointing" this season has been, "but we'll win it all next year". Same thing last season when they were too good for the League Cup and *only* 2nd place. Seriously entitled set of fans, I guess with refs like Webb around they expect to be the title race to be a mere formality every year, so it's treble or nothing. It's the same attitude that makes them sing "we'll do what we want" and then scream about them against the world when they *shock* *horror* actually get a penalty call against them or Ferguson finally gets punished by the FA. Wonder how many of these "fans" would stick around if the club went the way of Man City for a while, or even just dropped out of the top 4.

I think they've got that grey kit on thats maybe why we can't see them

Yorkykopite · « **Reply #55 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:57:43 pm »

I can't understand why they chose Manchester and not Guildford for the celebration. Asking for trouble.

I've seen bigger crowds at the Aldi whoopsy shelf.

But hey, they're man utd, they'll do what they want. And not going to see their team is what they want to do apparently.

We'll do what we want, we'll do what we waaaaaaannnt,
Stay at home 'cause it's raining,
We'll do what we want.

more people turned up at St James' Park when newcastle signed Owen.

They got all that for a parade for winning the league, liverpool got the following after losing the cup final against Arsenal in 71

Hymer Red · « **Reply #61 on:** May 30, 2011, 06:07:58 pm »

Just watched the the local news even Granada admitted the crowds were smaller. The pictures were as funny as f**k more security than fans in most places. Are you watching Manchester? Nope, thought not lol

mattsant · « **Reply #62 on:** May 30, 2011, 06:25:02 pm »

Saw that too, most of them just looked like they were out shopping and got caught up in it and asked to stay to make it look bigger

Kopite B205 · « **Reply #63 on:** May 30, 2011, 06:33:50 pm »

Pitiful turnout. Contrast that with our Champions League homecoming parade. Like chalk and cheese.

KiNki · « **Reply #64 on:** May 30, 2011, 06:42:28 pm »

GMP reckon crowds were much smaller than expected, about 5000 people turned up to watch the parade.

5000!

there showing the general apathy our fans showed when we won so many leagues, lets face it the next time we win it will be on a different stratosphere to the 1 in 1990, of course its still hillarious to see 5000? people turn up....

Of the parade, the defender Rio Ferdinand said: "It's crazy. We didn't expect so many people to turn out. The last couple of days have been disappointing for us and it could have been a bad summer. But this has picked us up. If someone had told us at the start of the season we would win the Premier League again, we would have taken that."

how many people was he expecting? 12?

oh, that got me!

small turn out, green and gold, reminds me of this
