Anyone know what it was?
They did. 33,082 (Not entirely sure of the 82)
They did it on the 5th goal.
Ah! i missed that as i was crying at the time
Well we were "only there't see unaaated"
It was impressive how their fans could do the accent to be fair.Quote:

Those United fans packing out the away section ... they gave their team their undying support ... what does it matter where they come from?
Tydfil White supports Leeds ... good for him. Hope he enjoys the matches he is able to see in person or those available on TV.
You mean to say you have no connection with Cardiff but you support the City?Quote:

If man City continue some sort of dominance over a couple of decades then in 50 years you will have lots of man City plastics around.
I don't get the point really but each to their own.
Or maybe he's from Cardiff and moved away? Hard to imagine, I know!Quote:

I don't know why it upsets anyone...
Because it's weak as ****. OK for kids I suppose, but grown men?Quote:

I don't analyse every poster on here or read every post.Quote:

While we’re at it, let’s limit club ownership to people that can prove by their birth certificate that their postcode entitles them to buy the club...
You’re a grown man and normally pretty rational with your posts, but this is a dumb stance sorry.
Happy Christmas by the way

I'd agree to a point with the international fans, although I'm pretty sure every country they come from have leagues and clubs that would love their support and money. You have people flying in weekly from Ireland and Scandinavia for a start.
Even giving some of them a break, when you have heard a stadium full of Liverpool replica shirt wearing Chinamen singing YNWA that's something you can never unhear.
Same with city, if by some chance all those plastics supported us or Newport then South Wales football would be far stronger than it is.
No. Because they have a choice. Like you do if you pick an NFL team. I'm talking about some twat with a south Wales accent calling into 606 complaining about about how terrible "we" were when Man U have just lost.Quote:
