So, where did you watch the game and how did you celebrate our title win

MUFCgal · 13th May 2008, 21:46

I just watched it at home. Started drinking about 2pm and just kept going for the next several hours. Celebrated all afternoon and evening, finally going to bed exhausted (and slightly tiddly) about midnight

About 5 minutes from the end of the match, myself and my brother burst into a rendition of We'll Never Die, I'm sure the entire street heard us because we were screaming our lungs out

Went out the night before for my 21st, got smashed, then watched it my mates. Best cure for a hangover! We had both games on two different teles, was funny watching the chelsea fans hear about our score!

RapidRed · 14th May 2008, 03:23

At a friends house with a few other United supporting mates some of whom I was meeting after almost 2 years.

Actually it was that friends anniversary on Saturday. We started drinking Saturday evening, all through the night and didn't stop till a few hours after it was all over. It was like being in college again.

I almost cried when my childhood idol scored the goal that won us and him our 10th premiership. I have since watched that goal, the final celebrations and trophy presentation about 50 times.

It was an unbelievable day. We are all getting together on the 21st. Hopefully we get to the promised land.

I did exactly the same...!!

A pub here in LA. 7 am. Packed with United fans. Only one Chelsea fan. Lots of singing and carrying on. Good time.

Must have been a lonely lonely place for him. I hope he got the piss taken out of him appropriately.

Better. Mate I bagged the quadruple and a grand slam. Rumour has it I might be even handed "life presidency" as a result

Tabasco Sauce · 14th May 2008, 07:21

At a nice little pub in Beijing...huge screens on either side, with United on one and Chelsea on the other...

Recently gave up drinking alcohol, so made do with some fresh juice and lots of smokes...

Best of all, watched it with a mate who is a Pool fan and rubbed it in once we won...

Giggsy got you laid too? nice one mate!

redmanc · 14th May 2008, 08:46

I watched it in town with this girl ive been seeing, tried like 4 different bars but they were so packed it wasnt funny, so we ended up in Walkabout as they had two huge fucking screens covering two floors and then loads of LCDs. The atmosphere was insane, was actually like being sat in the stretty. Beer was flying everywhere for 90 minutes and i dont think the songs stopped coming the entire time! Ended up a 13 hour bender and oh boy was i ill on Monday!

Sultan · 14th May 2008, 09:11

About 20 of us gathered at my home.

Kids jumped and lol'd. I just simply had a smile of satisfaction.

didsbury1982 · 14th May 2008, 11:34

Stayed in Manchester in the end in the end I didn't want to run the risk of not being able to watch it anywhere. Afterwards it all went a bit wrong culminating in me ending up with a swollen ankle and having to do a 10k run on Sunday! I also phoned in sick on Monday and got bollocked on Tuesday for the most obvious sickie attempt ever seen.

TheRedFlag · 14th May 2008, 11:55

Watched it at my sisters with her partner whose a United fan, one Scouser and another one who couldn't care less.

When Giggsy scored, I got all emotional, hugged the United fan and we both celebrated with my 2 year old nephew.

Watched the rest of the game with my 2 year old nephew sat on my lap. He said "football" for the first time.

Happy days

UnitedRoadRed · 14th May 2008, 12:03

Watched it round at a friend's house.

Celebrated back home after with a bottle of red wine. Not sure that was wise after ten pints of lager, but what the hell

My lad who's eight remarked, "we hate scousers, don't we dad". Bless him.

bless, kids say the cutest things

I can't wait till my nephew is a bit older so we can take him to a game for the first time.

UnitedRoadRed · 14th May 2008, 13:09

I've only taken my lad to FC United so far - he's a bit of a fidget to sit through 90 minutes so only my daughter's had the pleasure of a first team game at Old Trafford (although he went to the FA Youth Cup Final against Liverpool last year but was nodding off after 75 minutes because he was tired). He regularly bursts into random United songs when he's in the back of the car, from "And number one was Georgie Best" right through to "Viva Ronaldo".

Gotta bring your kids up properly I say. We were always told to stay away from the Maine Road as kids and it served us well.
