Weird low energy start from United.

That Van De Ven is unstoppable once he gets going like that

I remember thinking how boss he was in that 2-2 at Goodison.Imagine him and Branthwaite in the same team.

Jim Ratcliffe's going to be so furious about this start he'll probably lay off another 50 minimum wage staff.

I believe Spurs and Celtic’s use of the song predates ours… but I could be wrong.

I’m sure I heard we only adopted it in the 80s.

Atlético v Real Madrid on ITV4 at 20:00. Might be worth a watch

Your right mate, Celtic were the first.
