    Not a good week for the north London teams in Europe. Both Spurs and Arsenal well beaten over both legs.

    Must be because of all of the other European silverware that you've won, eh?
    Intertoto joint winners and everything! <laugh>

    West Ham fans taking the piss out of other clubs in Europe is like Donald Trump criticising someone's haircut.
    ****'s embarrassing.

    Well, we've won more than four times more of it than your lot have, so yes.
    You've won less major trophies than Wanderers FC and they disbanded in 1887! <laugh>

    Oh, come on. At least put a little effort in.
    Getting embarrassed and coming out with stuff like this is just humiliating.
    Cheap WUMming followed by "ooh, he's wound up" to any reply? Is that the best that you can do?

    Top wumming from the pool fans to unfurl a Liverpool banner in the Utd end I thought :)

    I was listening on radio 5 live. Apparently a few Scousers unfurled a big Liverpool flag in the top tier in the Utd section. There was a bit of crowd trouble after that with a few scuffles.

  12. I didn't see the crowd trouble epithet but just read it on the BBC.

    Hope the two aren't linked

    I think they were very much linked. The Liverpool fans unfurled their flag in the Utd end and shortly after there were scuffles breaking out, presumably with Utd fans attacking those Liverpool fans who did it. Apparently the police and stewards had to form a line between the Utd fans and around 10-15 Liverpool fans who ended up sitting on the edge of the tier. Sounded quite sketchy for a few moments.

    What did they think was going to happen? I expect a few bans and fines to be chucked about.

    I'll go out on a limb and say that the dippers will be reporting that their poor blameless fans were set upon. I'm all for banter, I think it's what makes the atmosphere in those types of games but that kind of carry on was always going to result in someones head getting kicked in

    Yep, it was only going to end up one way doing that to be honest.

    United v Pool is an overrated fixture. Reminds me of the Benetton adverts back in the day, using shock tactics to get attention.

    Anything for attention.
