Fantastic game, fantastic play, fantastic fans. It feels like you are sitting with 40,000 family members. The people around me are quite friendly. I sat at the grandstand. While I think it would be very fun to sit in the Kop stand, you got to see more things from the grandstand view. The teams lining up, the prize presentation and plus the flags and cards made by fans from the Kop stand. There was a group of 8 who stood up to hold the cards XABI STAY. quite cool. wasted that most of the people sitting in the kop stand would have missed out. there was a loud and sudden shout for 'WE WANT TORRES.' impressive indeed.
this match really brings back memories of the tiger cup and malaysia cup days. the kallang wave, the feet stomping before a free-kick/corner or before the wave hits you. the mass orgy at the toilets at half-time, the mad rush to go home, the way pedestrains cross the road in hundreds like they own the roads... very retro.
my only complaint is the STUPID HARRY'S drink stall. I took 50 mins to buy mineral water. damn slow. if they want a monopoly, they should be more efficient. i lost count of how many people walking up to scold the staff. when i got my drinks at 6.55pm, there's still a 50 m long queue behind me. Crazy.
Talk about T shirts. I say guys with the words 'Old Trafford 1-4' on their liverpool jersey. Guys with Justice 96 on their jerseys. The best one is this guy with a T-shirt that is a fake detergent advertisement. Basically the t-shirt is a before and after concept. Before shows a Man U AIG jersey, after shows a Liverpool Carlsberg jersey. In between these 2 jerseys is a box of detergent. The caption that follows is a classic. It says
IT REALLY CLEANS THE SHIT OUT OF SCUM. Damn cool man.
