I recall loads of United saying when they first played there in 06/07 it was mayhem on the bridge with fighting breaking out and the Roma Ultras having an assortment of knives (though that should be taken with a pinch of salt, Cass Pennant comes to mind).

Manchester on the day of the return game was something else though. Pretty sure people who hadn't set foot near Old Trafford in years were out looking for Italians. Sadly this all stems from the reputation of English supports smashing up places in Europe back in the 70s and 80s as well as a lot of the european ultras being fucking numpties.

I've literally just posted in the other thread how we didn't a striker, and the other position we didn't to cover was in goal. Friedel was a legend for us but we've got Robbo and Jake Kean is a great young keeper who's already been out on loan and got significant experience. Besides it's the Championship. I could go in net and do alright!
