SKY, hmmm ! Say's it all really, anyhow, never heard of them !!!
That is unbelievable.priceless!
Probably already been said, but the whole myth that utd under GPC played attacking/attractive/swashbuckling/caution to the wind football...
No, most of the time they actually played very similarly to the current utd side, sit back, absorb pressure then attack on the break with speedy wingers and strikers, only difference is they were better at doing it back then and had more of a work ethic to press the opposition.

I always thought that GPC was just a pragmatic manager. Don't recall him creating innovative tactics.Probably already been said, but the whole myth that utd under GPC played attacking/attractive/swashbuckling/caution to the wind football...

I don’t think this kind of mockery is appropriate. This is Manchester United we’re talking about here.

This is all very funny, but I never realised that if you repeat that name over and over, I feel sick in the pit of my stomach and start to get a headache. I'm serious!

In the 80's and 90's players were quoted as saying that they would, "walk on broken glass", to sign for (insert boyhood fantasy club).
Time hazes the memory but for some reason I remember reading in the M.E.N that he would "crawl on his hands and knees up the M1" to sign for City.Seem to recall Geoff Thomas saying this about City, shortly before signing for Wolves!
The lying bastard. XD
