Yeah I remember there being a firm out for revenge. I don’t think the rivalry is totally one sided, a lot of United fans still hate them especially after the one sided treatment from their Police, some more footage of what happened in Rome here for anyone who doesn’t remember..
The bizarre one sided rivalry of United vs Roma

20 war elephants I think
I just remembered thinking back they were also pretty mad at Sir Alex for disrespecting Totti I think it was in one of those games. Sir Alex was giving praise to De Rossi and a few others in their team and he didn't mention Totti and I'm sure I remember reading people were annoyed at that.
A sensitive bunch!
Faintly remember something about a stabbing around a United vs Roma game.
A quick run through google made this come up. 3 Middlesbrough fans were stabbed 10 times.

We played them twice (group stages and quarter finals) the next year and we again qualified. I can see why they dislike us
I've always had a soft spot for Roma, especially in the Totti days. Saying that, I am hoping for another 7-1 whooping
i prefer to lay on my back and pretend to be it.
Even Ronaldo scored his first CL goals!
Before it was cool.
Not like Ole said they're Lazio but can't get in.
There wasn't but I put some of my own cream in it to spite the Romans.
I then topped a pizza with pineapple for no damn reason!
Roma Roma stuck in a 7-1 coma coma.
Fava beans and a nice chianti
They're like the scousers of Italy.20 war elephants I think

I think he was talking about Hannibal that came over the alps with some elephants and defeated the Romans.
I know he was. I wasn't.
I work for a life long Roma season ticket holder and i play football every week with another huge Roma fan. Never heard them say anything bad about us. I think this is just the media talking shite ahead of the game.
It was Tuesday though.
Stop dissecting my wonderful joke with your facts!
It sure did. That one goal they scored still irritates the hell out of me.
On a side note, I think the Roma fans may be a little envious of those actually having something to protest against ("it´s not fair, we want to protest too").
Was a beaut if I remember.
I went to see Milan v Roma at the san siro in 1998 and the Roma fans were mental. They were rushing the police and kicking off in the city centre after the match. Lovely lads by the sounds of things.
I'd 7-1 be an insecure little Roma fan.
u okay hun? I assume this was meant to have quote markup in it
He's got a point there
Even Stoke think they have a rivalry with us. It’s hardly something new.
There was granted quite a bit of bad blood but mostly from the violence off the pitch in 06-07.

We only need one: Maguire
Horrible, horrible goalkeeping. Still excellent play from United, though.
What? Which goals do you reckon the goalie ought to have stopped?
1,4,6,7 The keeper was too far off his line. For 2-0, he was to slow to leave his line, but it might be debatable if he had the chance to react.
Ah that was some night. My first trip to Old Trafford
Whoever reported my copypasta from 2007 should be ashamed of themselves. One of the most quality rants I've ever read on any forum.
Ole is a dangerous man. Sexism, racism, child-abuse and now elitism! How dare he not have personal in-depth analysis on every team he may or may not face in the future!
How did people not realise that was an ancient quote.Even my response to it has disappeared.
The mods let all these wank troll newbies post endlessly yet they delete the decent bits of humour from established posters, lame.
Good man Pereira
