#ManCity should go back to their factual level 13.000 in the ground in the Championship

I’m still considering getting legal advice regarding the trauma I and others suffered that day. 😉
At first I thought if we end up getting handed the 2012 title I'd still not forget the pain of that journey home from Sunderland..... I'm now on the other route and felling like Nelson Mandela if we win the thing. Campiones Campiones ole ole ole 🔴

Exactly.
The 99 treble was the greatest moment I have ever experienced as a Utd fan, if I woke up this morning and found out that Utd cheated during that period to win it, I would be mortified. I most certainly would not be saying “they can’t take that experience away from us” because they can. The present moment always defines the past and the present moment has defined City’s greatest moments as a fraud. The history they cling to will ironically haunt them forever.

🙄 I preferred the days when we ran on the pitch at the end of the last match of the season and got our own 😂. Had mine growing on the windowsill all summer.
Man United's latest cash grab: selling chunks of Old Trafford turf for £125 Season-ticket holders given "exclusive early access" to buy tiny clumps of grass cast in plastic after the club relaid the pitch for the first time in 14 years More from @hirstclass ⬇️ thetimes.com/sport/football/…

I’ve never seen these before 😁 Utd played Arsenal at Anfield on a Friday night in 1971. We were banned from playing at OT for 2 games due to a spot of bother. I was at this game and we literally took the Kop 😁 instagram.com/p/DcWvf0VGud2/…

This has made me very nostalgic. There’s also a picture of me in the 3rd image. I’m the one walking along the platform in the mac. I was. 19. instagram.com/p/DdeWU6ijkbq/…

Until he moves his tax residency back to the UK, Jim Ratcliffe has no right to lecture anyone on the state of the country
Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he has lost confidence in the UK, describing the country as "on the slide". "Nobody's tough enough to deal with the immigration problem. Nobody's tough enough to deal with the benefits problem. But somebody needs to do it." [BBC]

My twopennyworth on JJ Gabriel. I saw him play a couple of times last season. Great talent but physically no where near ready for the 1st team. Rooney and Whiteside played at 16 but they were physically men. The greatest player ever, George Best did not start until he was 17.

Sorry to be pedantic but can’t be 1973 as the manager Frank O’Farrell was sacked in December 1972. Looking at the squad it’s hard to believe how bad that team was! Bottom of the league at Christmas.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us. Any person or organisation questioning their actions or loyalty to this country should be corrected and ostracised. Anyone can drown, but no one should. rnli.org/support-us

I was around in the 1970s. I don't recall even the most rightwing Tory politicians downplaying National Front marches as some kind of justifiable expression of popular discontent.

Martin Buchan with the 2nd Division trophy in 1975. One of the happiest days of my life. The first trophy I’d seen us win. I’d been a match going fan for 7 years at that point!
Manchester United manager Tommy Docherty and his players salute the fans

In case you had any doubts about the judgement and moral standards of my (former) Chief of Staff, Dan Jukes, here he is with Andrew Tate.

Sam Allardyce got sacked for less than Nigel Farage. We need to hold politicians to higher standards than football managers.

He was the new George Best in the same way that I was the new Raquel Welch 😂
Touted as the new George Best as many were if my memory serves me right @YesterdaysStars @UtdBeforFergie @MUFCMemorabilia Football Star Magazine October 1973

And we sang 🎶 Alan Shearer, Alan Shearer, What a difference you have made. Also had my first glimpse of OGS when my mate said “Why’s that ball boy wearing a United tracksuit?”😂
11th August 1996 I was at Wembley for a family day out to watch United beat the Geordies 4-0 in the FA Charity Shield. Needless to say the Geordie side of the family were somewhat glum on the train home. I Sill have the plastic bowler hats somewhere in my loft. For the record United’s goals were scored by Eric Cantona, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Roy Keane. 73,214 were in attendance, and I’ve got to say it wasn’t the best view I ever had at the Old Stadium. #MUFC #UTFR #GGMU #ManchesterUnited #ManUtd #ManUnited

Chelsea are working hard to sign Ryan Giggs, 52, as a first team winger. They see the Welshmanc as experienced and known to their fans after multiple appearances for Manchester United. Would be a free transfer as he'd retired in 2014.
