Chances are it was just some random scrotes looking for trouble. They're not representative of our fanbase and, being a Manchester resident now, you must be able to see the difference? From what I understood, your fans were trying to force open the barrier doors that separate the south stands. Act like a **** in Manchester and you'll get done over. We had tens of thousands at Wembley for the Wigan final and I didn't see or hear anything untoward despite a fairly humiliating defeat. I have been traveling for years and know many, many blues. We're not trouble in general.
I was threatened three times in one day at Upton Park once. One man had shoulder length blond hair (always the sign of a hard man) and another looked like Minty from East Enders. The third was classic, though. He started a friendly conversation with me in the local where he was showing the German friends of his he'd brought over. All were giving me death stares. He then launched in to a racist tirade on how his Newham had changed before offering me outside as I laughed in his face.
