I still remember walking into school the day after Stoke away when we were relegated to the third tier to find a group of kids in the playground standing there waiting for me, they made my life hell, the piss taking was absolutely relentless. And it wasn't even United fans, it was Stockport County fans who were now a league above us. United fans weren't even arsed anymore.The thing is it didn't even flatter us. Courtois was outstanding and did fantastically well to keep it down to 4.
Feel a bit of a big girl for getting quite emotional about it. When you grow up watching the likes of the Whitley brothers and you're step-father's telling you to 'stick with it and it'll come good' whilst all you're rag classmates are taking the piss at school and they're cleaning up all before them. (A comment I'm sure neither of us genuinely believed). A little over 20 years later we're now the most dominant team in England and embarrassing Europe's elite.
Nobody deserves this more than us. Nobody.
