Hi guys!

So, first of all, I'd like to clarify that my observations are based purely on TV/Streams, so they might not be true at all. I just watched the Manchester City match and I couldn't help but notice the difference in the atmosphere between the Etihad and Old Trafford last Thursday. We always joke about them that they can't even fill the stadium, but their atmosphere tonight was just staggering - fans cheering non stop and you could really hear that all the time. When I compare it to our last domestic European match against Saint Ettienne, the difference is quite large. We had nowhere near the same spirit on Thursday and I am quite annoyed by this. Even if you compare the match against Blackburn on Sunday and the one against St. Ettienne our away support was magnificent, but it's not even close at Old Trafford sometimes. I can imagine that part of this is caused by the amount of foreign fans who go there and are not familiar with songs and what not, but how is it possible for a few thousand french fans to outsing 70+ thousand United fans?

I'd like to hear what you guys think about it. Also, if this isn't true and I have gotten deceived by the TV/Internet coverage, please feel free to let me know!
