Just got back from the game, and I have a totally different preception to what seems to have come across on TV. I thought both ends were very loud at times - showing what could be achieved if the "fan zone" (euck) were extended into the lower tier of the Stretford End. The Juve fans were particularly impressive during extra time - urging their team on constantly with an impressive amount of noise, especially as the team had given them zilch to sing about!
I thought the best team won, but United would have roasted either of them, the way we ended the season....
