Sure, the United fans sang those songs, 75 mins gone and 2-0 up!
About the only thing I heard from the MU fans before then was the "United, United" chant which ain't really a song is it. Most of the songs I could hear were definitely Blues songs (mainly 'Keep Right On')
The "Champions! Champions!" chant got an airing too, but without too much disrespect to Birmingham, it isn't the sort of matchup that United fans are going to get too worked up about when it comes to the songs and chants. We just don't have any reason to hate you guys.
I didn't think Birmingham were any louder than any other set of fans (from clubs that aren't our blood rivals) that have visited Old Trafford.
Still, whilst Old Trafford's atmosphere has been better in recent years, it's still nothing compared to the 60s, 70s, and 80s....but then again, is any club's atmosphere a patch on those days?
As for our reputation, granted, but we are nowhere near as bad as we used to be, I'd say Man Utd's firms are far more active than the Zulu Army is these days.
I don't think any of the firms are as active as they used to be. Certainly nothing compared to the 70s and 80s.
