Fairly sure. Sir Alex no longer manages Utd, so I don't see why he would be out here.

Maybe you're right, they're both old and grey :laugh:

I thought I saw both Moyes and Ferguson. I could be wrong but I definitely thought Ferguson was to the left of Moyes.

Yeah I'm pretty sure too. [MENTION=1848]ningnangnong[/MENTION] Did you see Ferguson?

I wasn't really paying attention when they showed the Mancs... it's pretty fucking stupid to show them during an Origin match.

Where did all this money in French football come from? I find it strange that the Arabs are buying into Ligue 1 now instead of EPL.

Also, with France's massive tax rates, how are players willing to sign for PSG? AS Monaco I think are subject to Monaco tax loopholes so that I understand, but isn't the top rate in Paris 75%?

Singing YNWA with 95,000 other Reds last night was one of the best moments of my life. Something I'll cherish forever.

Honestly, I could've got up and left the ground after that, I didn't even need to see the players or the match - that was something fucking special.

Just wanted to share that with ya'll!

I saw a vid of it and thought Ning would be loving this shit. Was truly cool to see on TV, would have been awesome live.

I think I've asked this before but what's the meaning to the club regarding that song?

There's been a few different stories over the years as to why YNWA was first sung - best summary is probably provided by Wiki - You'll Never Walk Alone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm biased obviously, but it's got to be one of the best songs you'll ever hear sung in football.

[MENTION=1841]Scotty[/MENTION], I didn't know you were in Melbourne bro!!!

 

[Black Philip]

Aye, mate. Went with a lass I used to work with who's from Liverpool. Easily one of the greatest footballing experiences of my life. Was sat right next to the fake kop as well. Nobody gave a shit that I wasn't a Liverpool fan, everyone was just keen for a drink and a sing :)

I've gotta say as well, after losing my job and being down on my luck recently, hearing YNWA like that gave me goosebumps and brought a tear to my eye. Best football song ever.

Aye, I've watched a replay of it about four or fives time now, and every single time it brings a tear to my eye. Maybe I'm just a big pussy! :crying:

 

[Black Philip]

Don't be daft man. It's natural for football to do that to a man :tongue_smilie:

 

[Porthoz]

I strongly dislike Liverpool (yet another one Ningers :winky:), but that is bloody awesome!

 

[pennywisealfie]

Yep, I can't stand Liverpool and think YNWA is a shit song, but 95,000 fans who have been dying to see their fave team play all their lives singing in unison was a thing of beauty.

Sweet assist from Julian Draxler.
