I legged it from the Huddersfield debacle at Wembley as Simmo's penalty jettisoned fuel stage 2 and prepared to enter orbit. I was on a train at Wembley Stadium Station about 4 minutes later and was rolling towards Oxfordshire about 30 seconds after that.

It was, by miles, my best ever match departure, but I usually get caught in the crush, and I don't miss any goals.

You've paid, you can do what you like, but don't expect me to think you're wise.

Linz - if Nannan's that unsteady, why not sit tight for ten minutes?

I did a similar bunk after Burnley. Was on a train to Marylebone within a minute of leaving the ground. It's the only way to go after such a miserable defeat.

Bizarrely I found myself sat opposite a Burnley fan and his lad who looked miserable as sin. Told him he should be happy, but I expect he was a bit nervous about being around so many morose Blades. He probably burst into fits of laughter when he got off the train….

On the previous Saturday me and a mate went to Chelsea. Before the game we had walk round Soho thinking 'Lowedges has got nowt like this'. 'Imagine seeing those in Grennel Mower'.

For some unknown reason we eneded up on the 'Shed' end. TC was having the proverbial taken out of him by the locals - which happened with most away fans. Anyway TC scores an absolute stunner and starts blowing kisses to the crowd which incites them even more. We see all the Blades at the other end celebrating and I can't control myself and starts chanting 'Tony Tony Currie'. Not my brightest moment. My mate has to almost gag me to keep me quiet. We won 2-0(?) Think Woody got the other.

I know I sound like some old fart but reason I mention this is for those younger readers. I hope one day you'll have a week visiting Stamford Bridge seeing Scougall take the piss out of Chelsea, come away with a victory and then a few days later see the Blades thrash Arsenal and Scougall sits on the ball making out it's all too easy.

Woody rodding the Chelsea fans after he scores! :D

He is not usually like that! His celebrations after scoring a goal is usually more modest! He usually turns round strolling back to the centre and might raise a hand in the air with a straight face while his excitable team mates run up to him to congratulate him!

That's brilliant BOSS, Woody gave the Chelsea fans the same warm greetings they'd been giving United.

You've got it mate, nice clip of Woody, there'll never be another.

Now it's me who lives on Shoreham, although the Leadmill side, but still only a few minutes walk from t'Lane UTB

It would be their choice if nobody turned up at all, but we should all really give a shit about that.

But they do turn up , they pay their money and leave when It suits them , whats the problem ? Better than turning up bladdered and moving someone out of "your seat" at 3.15 in an empty kop as happened to me last season

Really annoys me that so many people leave early. Can't understand why you'd fork out for a ticket and then not bother watching the whole match. We almost always go to The Lane in the car and we've never got caught up in any traffic after the match. We park near Stokes Tiles so the walk back there gives it time to clear. If you park right near the ground then just go for a drink after the game or something if you don't want to get stuck in traffic. Surely that's got to be better than leaving early and missing us score 2 goals to beat Forest?

I went to this game on my own. Even dafter then than now, I wore a United scarf. Outside the ground before the kick-off, a HUGE Chelsea skinhead approached me. 'Going to the match, son?' Realising that resistance was futile, I told him I was. He reached inside his sheepskin coat. A bottle? A knife? Nope. He gave me a seat ticket!

I've got a great idea. Stay until the end and then do all those things 10 minutes later.

It was an example of the many reasons people may have for leaving early. How about those who don't want to leave early sit there while those who do leave?

I have to say if this gets your panties in a wad then you perhaps have bigger issues. Or you are 12.

Do you think that support from a crowd has a positive influence on the team? If you don't, then enough said, we simply disagree. If you do think it has a positive effect, then I think it's pretty obvious that a ground emptying out with 10 minutes to go really isn't a positive influence on the team.

Your point that people pay their money and make their choices is valid. Just like those who are intent on booing. But it looks poor and is detrimental (how much is debatable) to team performance - on top of seeming a bit senseless to miss the crucial stage of the match.
