Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 DEJECTED MAN UTD FANS MAKE LONG JOURNEY BACK TO SURREY THOUSANDS of despondent Manchester United supporters returned to the Home Counties last night after the club's Champions League final defeat in Rome. It was a very special trip for United's army of Audrey Hepburn fans Carrying nothing more than some truffle oil, a tin of Calabrian tuna and a bottle of really lovely Tuscan red, the United fans said if it wasn't for the glorious detail in the Trevi Fountain the whole trip would have been a total disaster. Godalming based-supporter Julian Cook said: "I've been a die-hard fan since they started winning things, so I was terribly miffed at the end. "But then we came across this gorgeous little trattoria just off the Via Della Vicenza that did the most exquisite Asparago di Veneto. I felt like Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday." But Martin Bishop, from Dorking, accused champions Barcelona of cheating. "They kept hanging on to the ball and wouldn't give it back. It was just so blatant." He added: "I was really very angry at the time, but then I thought of all that wonderful Catalan architecture and found it within myself to forgive them." Uefa president Michel Platini hailed the game as, 'a triumph for the sponsors, hospitality suites, television residual broadcast revenue and, to some extent, Barcelona'. Meanwhile the Catalan club made history by fielding the first Champion's League winner grown from a petri dish. Barca coach Ian Guardiola, said: "When he came to us as boy, Messi was no bigger than my thumb. But bathing him daily in monkey brain growth serum grew him into the unstoppable dwarf he is today."

Alee. 182 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I wonder if SE Asia has seen mass conversions to Barcelona... South Asia has some pretty loyal fans you might want to know, sure they're are scummy man united fans, but other (like myself) are prepared to be with the club through thick and thin. And most just started watching football in the last couple of years because of the recent growth of the EPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemBlueBob 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am always amazed at those in Asia who just pick up one day and say, "hey, I want to be a United fan!" Really, going out on a limb aren't ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
