Can you tell me the truth of this as it hasn't been reported anywhere? Also, were the Belgians REALLY singing "Wooo the fok er Man Yenoited"? If so, respect due. "Ledereen est ein van bang boofaloooe" is the only foreign chant, I "know" and I think that may be pidgin Flemish!

LR shipmate, I am genuinely amazed, unless I have missed it that there is no mention today on here amongst your friends that a major contender for insertion in the Oxford Dictionary is the word, "MANC". I have not looked but should imagine Mancunian will be something like, "A citizen of Manchester", how will they explain MANC This is not a wind-up, in papers today, and who am I to extract the urine, could be some interesting explanations by the time I next get to this thread, tip get in first LR, then quietly sit on the bottom, (doubtfull)

"Liedereen est ein van bang boofaloooe".

This ressembles something like: "Everyone is from a frightened buffalo", which can't be right surely. Not even Belgian fans are that surreal.

Dunno Stevo - they apparently got madly "tasty" at OT. The mancs claim that this is the first time anyone has "steamed" them at OT for about a decade. Not, you note, that this impresses me but I do like to know the facts.

Douggie..they were indeed singing their little continental heads off..and they made MANY references to Chelsea. They had about 30 coaches alone.....but as a passing note not many of them made it home....lack of Diesel :-)

They ran amock in the town for a while and put on a bit of a show around Lou Macari's chippy. It makes for a goog return leg I'll give 'em that. I'm driving me VW van to Anderlecht and I'm gonna deck it aout like Matilda from robo-wars:-)

BTW...the mob that was at Goodison yesterday was ever so sligfhtly impressive.....scared the shit outa the scouse Dibble so much that the only tactic they employed on the march-back was NO TOLERANCE with PLENTY of attacks on United boys wth those "fuck-off sticks" they use!!. I'm VERY close to throwing in a letter.
