The early 90's onwards were just one long dark age for me. The club in perpetual chaos and the Rags filling their boots season after season.

Oh great. Now I got to go back into therapy and Malcolm Allison will start haunting my nightmares again.

Ah yes the early sixties, my first away game on my own. I travelled down to Wolves for the opening match of the new season only for us to be battered 8-1. To add insult to injury ours was an own goal.

At that match a guy sitting near me got on his mobile at half-time and was telling his mate about the goals, and it made me laugh - he said "Goater's shot was spilled by Donald f***ing Pleasence, and Anelka had a tap-in". He did indeed look like Donald Pleasence - all he needed was a white cat on his lap and he was a dead ringer for Blofeld (which Bond film was it?).

I will never forget that Ratboy ran on to the pitch, chest puffed out, and all the way up to the Kippax as if to say 'I'm here and we are going to stuff you lot today'! I'm off to Youtube to see if I can find it.
The rest is history.
Before the game Schmeichel offered him a handshake in the tunnel and when he saw who it was he jumped and looked the other way. When the teams came out he ran towards the North Stand like his shorts were on fire while van Nistelrooy just jogged past the stand staring at the City fans as if he wanted to take them all on. When Solskjaer equalised he sprinted the full length of the field like a man in dire need of an Immodium tablet but it all ended so well. City won 3-1, ratboy fed the Goat and his uglier brother got subsituted.

It was, you are right. That match was abysmal and we never seemed to shake off the lethargy. Four years in Div Two followed I think.Was that the season we got relegated 62/63 ?

I forgot about the Smichael business! The great thing is that blues will remind him of the day he fed The Goat forever!
