City v Chelsea

Oh Bollocks....... season starts on Wednesday everyone.

Get the hard games out of there way first, it's the best way

and i was hopping citeh were gonna pull one out of the bag. Impressed by barton trying to injure people though it's exactly what i would have done in the circumstances

Ok ive just got back, fair enough they deserved to win but we never got any luck (by the way im very pissed) and Sinclair shoudl have done better when put through.

Overall we just werent good enough. But i didnt think Chelsea were anything special.

In the stands Chelsea were terrible until they scored not singing at all and we still out sang them.

Hard luck mate

the bridge is worse then Old Trafford

Barton was shocking....just like i have always said he is v overrated and needs to learn how to pass.

Richards did very well, Corradi worked hard, why cant siclair use his left foot and samaras needs to get his finger out.

I didn't hear the City fans at all, all match...

Even when we were ridiculously quiet in the 2nd half. Very odd atmosphere.

Cheers mate.

44 mins: Have 70-odd thousand people all gathered in one place ever been so quiet? Despite United's total dominance, the atmosphere is reminiscent of a library reading room.

From BBC live text commentary.

People in glass houses...

No way mate....i have a recording of it and at the start all you can hear is blue moon. Blue is the colour was sang but only after you bagged. We sang none stop thing is the TV picks up sound depending on were the mic's are, obviously not near us.

I know OT is terrible recently, i was merely saying the bridge is worse.

what did you think of Corradi and Dabo, Squirter?

We never sing blue is the colour....

I was sitting directly opposite the away section. I heard 2 distinct choruses. One of Blue Moon one of something else. Also you seemed pretty agitated with Drogs at one point.

I am sure it sounded loud, but the noise did not travel across the stadium. I bet you outsang the Chels in the Shed though, because they are very uninteresting.

Chelsea atmos is always pretty bad at the start of the season (even for Arsenal at the Bridge last year it was poor). City away support was better last season IMO.

Im sure i heard blue is the colour song ? although in my state i might be thinking of the wrong song, it was one you always sing??

Yeah we sang blue moon, we're not really here, etc just the usual really. We got voted your best away fans last season and sang louder this year. I know what you mean about sound not sounding load, Old Trafford can be like that at times.

We sing "Carefree" more than Blue is the Colour. That's the main "chant" imo. Only on really special occasions can we be bothered to sing blue is the colour (like when we won the league). They play it on the speakers before/after the match tho of course.

the only chelsea song i ever hear is

Cheslea Chelsea Chelsea, Chelsea!!!!

Imaginitive

On the plus side you could here them singing: 'who put the ball in the German's net' at OT

Both did well. Corradi worked very hard, was good in the air. its a shame he got sent off but he was over the top, although i felt Essien was a wanker holding his hair.

Dabo was decent and should have been allowed set peices instead of Barton. He looked v tired in the second half so migh thave to work on his fitness.

pfft. ManU fans cant talk about imaginative/original songs. You stole our "blue flag" and butchered it!!

Didn't you hear "Super, super Frank" poiuy?.

PS. I'm sure I heard "blueisthecolour"

really ???

Maybe it was sung. I really don't remember anyone singing that at all.

It was played before the match and after the match on the loudspeakers, but I cant recall anyone singing it.

There is always the possibility I am wrong

PS. All I heard from the Old Trafford fans was "There's only 1 Ronaldo"

And he scored a hatrick at Old Trafford in 2003

United and Chelsea have even less songs than the Boro, and we havent got many songs.

Sorry, I forget to say I only watched the highlights on MOTD2.

And on the highlights, the only song that seemed to pop up was that "There's only 1 Ronaldo".

Its United fans showing support for Cristiano Ronaldo ...

Dabo looked very good for someone who wasn't playing at Lazio. he as a full French international a few years ago, v. Good signing.

As for Corradi, let's just say he quickly understood the rigours of the Prem and will soon have broken enough legs to join us.
