The Temple of Doom has seen twice the amount of trebles as Old Toilet.

Our neighbours who were an old retired couple never needed an invite to come round.

Anyway a few years ago there was a City game on TV, tap at the door. It was the next doors wanting to discuss guttering! We invited them in an they started droning on. John clocked that my attention was on the game, and started reminiscing. He said that when the Munich aircrash was announced at school ( in Denton) all the kids cheered!

They were not and never have been adored by Mancunians ( rags, not John and Liz!)

A few years ago i spoke to an elderly man in Cheadle Hulme and told me as a child his dad used to take him to City matches. One Saturday morning they went to the local butcher and his dad mentioned they were going to the game that afternoon " That Ynitid then? " the butcher asked. The elderly man lowered his voice and said " do you know he confused me, I didn't even realise there was another team in Manchester".

Kalvin Phillips has won as many medals in one season as George Best did in his united career (not counting charity shields)

Not a stat but they had two of the most corrupt decisions against us last season and the second one was responsible for the only blemish on Ortega’s FA Cup record that ended up “costing” us a goal, as bent as it comes along with Atwell’s pathetic performance for THEM.

2 shocking decisions that would never ever be given any other time.

Last time the rags won a champions league, people still had MySpace accounts.

Their treble was available on VHS.

MySpace always reminds me of this video song parody of the time - don’t know the original.
‘What if god had a myspace’



The songs line:
‘Yeah… yeah… gods online’ heh

… maybe it’s just for the FOC IT crowd :-(

The only trebles Best got near were alcoholic.

Old Trafford holds only 1 record attendance, the lowest ever for a first class match. The FA cup tie saw just 13 fans.
