Dread to think what might have happened had it been a full house with thousands of Liverpool fans there as well, would have been carnage, knowing how much they love each other.
Very similar reporting from Sky at Old Trafford. Gary Neville was particularly outspoken and ably supported by Jamie Carragher. Gary Neville advocating also a complete overhaul of football. Slightly cynical viewpoint maybe but would Sky have allowed the conversation, both in the studio and on pitch side, to continue had they been financing the ESL? As it was, all of the pundits and commentators came out in favour of the supporters protest but clearly opposed to the violent nature and actions of some. It is a shame that some of those "protesting" thought fit to throw flares and full beer cans at people, clearly intent on causing harm and/or damage.Motd 2 last night opened with Shearer & Jeanus giving an overview of the afternoons happenings at old trafford ....editor of man u fanzine united we stand was invited on to gives his views ....which he gave and rather well too IMO ....including saying football needing a complete overhaul ....citing recent owners of Bury, Macclesfield & Bolton being fit and proper persons when clearly they wernt ....also said redistribution of wealth in football required changing with more £ reaching lower league clubs .....cant find a link atm but I thought he made some really good points
It matters not what people think needs to change it's far too late, The thing that bugs me with all this is Sky/Premier League breakaway started it all off and let's not kid ourselves that if given the chance of a Super League Sky would grab it fast. The words of their presenters and pundits were admirable especially Gary Neville and he makes very valid points.Motd 2 last night opened with Shearer & Jeanus giving an overview of the afternoons happenings at old trafford ....editor of man u fanzine united we stand was invited on to gives his views ....which he gave and rather well too IMO ....including saying football needing a complete overhaul ....citing recent owners of Bury, Macclesfield & Bolton being fit and proper persons when clearly they wernt ....also said redistribution of wealth in football required changing with more £ reaching lower league clubs .....cant find a link atm but I thought he made some really good points
Doubt it as much as we would like it the EPL wouldn’t do that to one of the top 6you reap what you sow Sky Sport, someone might say .... points deduction imminent?

Wonder if Sky will give a refundpostponed ...poor old sky sport 'deprived' of one of their moneyspinners ...
Man Utd v Liverpool off after protest
Manchester United's game against Liverpool is postponed after about 200 fans break into Old Trafford to protest against the Glazers' ownership.www.bbc.co.uk
Apparently a policeman was slashed in the face by one of those thugs, hopefully he is identified band nicked and sent down for a few years, whereas the rest were their venting their fury outside the ground and not inside the ground.
Definitely.Another case of the idiotic minority wanting to unleash violence and cause damage and injury.
Hopefully there is sufficient footage to hold them to account.
No one should have been in that stadium yesterday regardless of their motives, so even some of those people milling around doing very little still need to be fined or put on some sort of community service program.
We weren't playing them. Manchester United were.people would have turned on yesterday to watch utd v Liverpool
We weren't playing them. Manchester United were.
Sky are allowing Neville and Carragher to rip into the ESL because Sky didn't get a ticket to the top table. They still maintain that the Premier League is the best in the world, but only because they're the ones selling it.
Neville makes a lot of good points but his Salford lot have done to non league what Man City and Chelsea have done at the top of the Premier League. They were paying Adam Rooney £4k a week in non league (although I suppose that's better value than 2 Eddie Hutchinsons).
Football has been in a bubble for 30 years. Every year it's got bigger and bigger and it'll go pop at some point. People like Perez at Real Madrid have it a**e about face, saying that they can't afford the top players like Mbappe and Haaland without more money coming in... or maybe it's because they're not actually worth that.
You can't excuse the Man U fans breaking into the stadium and throwing flares at the Sky studio, but you can understand why they're pissed off. The fans in the local community suffer, the ones in Africa and Asia just want to watch the big stars.
