Jelly and ice-cream
Looking at where things have gone for us since the takeover, this felt like the big turning point. We won the FA Cup semi-final the year before and battered them 6-1 at Old Trafford, yes, but I think this was when we properly rattled Ferguson for the first time. The first time we wound him up and he snapped back. The FA Cup semi started the shift, the 6-1 set the gears in motion, and this little gesture (along with the win and everything it meant) was when we finally, properly got under Ferguson's skin, right before he retired and left them in a just a little bit of a mess.
Used to love the way Bobby would refer to him as "Ferguson", none of the fawning "SirAlex" nonsense like so many others.That was THE moment imo! Not just beating them on the pitch, we had a manager who didn’t give a fuck about fergies reputation and infront of millions of people around the world put him in his place!

Fergies? Fergies? I presume you're talking about the GPC?That was THE moment imo! Not just beating them on the pitch, we had a manager who didn’t give a fuck about fergies reputation and infront of millions of people around the world put him in his place!
Magic that moment. Miss Mancini.
