That their fans are noisy and passionate should not be a surprise to anyone, apart from those people who stayed cocooned in the myths surrounding the English Premier League.

" you can not fail to be impressed by the communal “technique” of Barcelona’s support – scarves are twirled in unison above heads, producing a vast, rapidly moving, wall of color" Yes, very impressive but started by English fans in the 1970s. By the way, Man U never have been big singers, very weak on t hat front and I can only imagine a lot of the true working class fans were priced out of going to Rome. I take it your a NFL fan, maybe basketball or is it that so every so exciting game of baseball, fans go wild there eh!. You wanna here noise just come to Millwall. Dear Mr Thomas,

It was good for Messi. So it was for Guardiola, and for Eto'o who caused it all by stoping the early fun of Man U fans. Honestly, it was good for Barcelona as a team and their fans all over the world, particularly my physician that ignored my heart by predicting Barcelona's victory. Oh!.... ! Good for soccer and the game for remaining so unpredictable. What happened was typical. That's the beauty of the game. Man U did not know how it happened. It just happened. Let the manager and the players remember that it is the way of the game. Man U will rise again. Congratulations Barca! Come on everybody, Man U lost and ....? It was good for Messi.

We should not forget Liverpool fans singing at half time together, even when they were 3-0 down.

You'd notice that Mediterranean teams have by far the loudest fans in Europe and I wonder why Manchester was suspected to outroar anyone- watch a match of Olympiakos, Paok, Red Star Belgrade or Fenerbache and you'de get the idea of what is really loud, despite the aformentionned teams lower caliber. I recall Olympiakos playing against Liverpool a couple of years ago in Anfield. The red&whites were by far outnumbered by the reds yet you could only hear the greeks. Same in the Bernabeu. Actualy to me several english stadiums sound like a cemetery in contrast to the continuous sonic boom delivered by warm tempered, hot headed southerners.
