The craziest part about all this is that I am really liking Jamie Carragher right now!
ha!!
Good on him. The fans are the club.
Carragher talking more sense than some people in here. Scousers must be hating him now 
It really is
Wow, disgraceful from them.
good stuff. who cares if they take points. who actually cares. we were this close to having the club entirely taken away. the government are toothless. this might be toothless too but at least a message to the whole world and to the sponsors that united is toxic.
city fans make me laugh, very happy with the status quo

That's been some distasteful stuff that I've seen being spoken about else where which is awful, I've not denied bad stuff has happened? I'm not happy about that aspect of things at all. I just don't think you can call what happened a riot?
are you named after a fender amp?
Dave Jones having an absolute mare here.
Seriously... Destroying the stadium? What damage was actually done? Corner flag? What else, a flare thrown in empty stands? What is the damage done, £100?
The ground was not invaded by force or anything like that, the gates were fecking open because even though everyone knew there will be protests today, the Glazer penny pinching policy means they couldn't even afford to pay for damn security.
Well done to everyone (except a few idiots) who made it happen today. It is a huge statement, postponing one of the biggest games in world football doesn't happen every day, there will be a ton of media coverage on it and the Glazers will be mentioned a fecking lot in a negative way. Is it enough for them to sell the club? Most likely not but it's a start, we just cannot stop now and who knows, maybe it will happen. The protest was mostly peaceful today with a few idiots going too far but it's always bound to happen with thousands of people involved.
Like Neville he's a fan, a passionate one at that.
I applaud the peaceful elements of the protest but do not forget that 90% of them and you are complicit in the footing the Glazers have. The slogan was green and gold until we're solid right? How long ago was that? And what happened, they bought your silence with success and because they had Ferguson on side. I'd love to hear his thoughts on their ownership model.
Remember Liverpool fans literally planning an attack on the Manchester city team bus in the champions League and nothing happened.
Fair fecks to Jamie Carragher. Someone buy that man a beer.
It's brilliant. Love it
it's an awful precedent: what if we were at 2-2?
Great post. Cheers mate.
I know they can be dickheads but it seems like an attempt at humor to me.
Carragher being a fecking hero here
Sky Sports probably worried if other clubs fans copy
Jones won’t leave the violent, unruly angle alone, the absolute wet wipe.
Well done Jamie Carragher. Chatting complete sense.
Jamie carragher needs to take a bow
Can't believe some posters are calling this a riot. What the hell. May I add I like Jamie Carragher.
Mate, i'm having a u-turn on carragher what is going on!
Dave Jones clearly being fed the party line by Sky demonising the actions of the supporters because this precious game has been called off.
Well said Carragher
The presenter is such an ass
The presenter is such an ass
Sky presenter getting desparate, they all would love that football fans feck off for good, bring 60k drones on stands and collect money from customers all over the world. Scum
This row is better than the game probably. The presenter is sucking up to his bosses not realising what it's going to do to his image.
If there was only a way to protest against the club and not against the team
Believe me, I'll be first to remind you your opinion when things don't go well - and you should hope you never complain about no transfers or no trophies. Who cares.
Well, the problem on this forum is people who "could not give a toss" about anyone with a different view. There have been fans not just at the ground today but at the team hotel, and that's aimed at the preventing the players from leaving. I repeat, I don't like the Glazers as owners and I wish we had better owners, I hate what was being proposed with the ESL, but not for one moment am I prepared to defend what happened today at Old Trafford.
Wouldn't happen if they actually protested against the owners instead of assaulting innocent bystanders.
loving his passion
Your implication was that violence was the only solution. It's not. There is a long history of peaceful protest at civil injustice. Try googling the names Gandhi and Martin Luther King jr to name just a couple. Also violent protest has in many cases been crushed by various regimes. China and Iran come to mind in recent history. So thinking that violence is THE solution is wrong and somewhat naive IMO. Billionaire owners will not be detered by stuff like this. Force will be met with force and all you are doing is undermining the movement to get rid of them.
Jamie Carragher, you have gone way up in my estimation. Really spoke very well, fair play
He's a disgrace.
