Have you ever won the treble? Have you fuck.
we never won the auto windscreens either, we went out in only game we played at Maine Road in 2-1 loss to Mansfield, Lee Peacock scored both for themTotally agree. Much prefer it when we do curve ball stuff, it's far more City. We're proud of who we are, but we do self-deprecating stuff like no other fan base that I know of. There were bananas, even in Istanbul!
I'd like it if we sang back to them, “You'll never sing that, you'll never sing that, Full Members Cup, you'll never sing that”.
Edit: got confused. We never won the Full Members. Runners up against Chelsea (still angry about it). What was that weirdo trophy that we won? Something to do with windshields…

2nd division playoff final trophyYep. Incredible, really. Mansfield Town. At Maine Road!
We did win something, though. What was it?
(Oh we got the UEFA fairplay ranking, they'll never take that away from us…)
you thinking of Thomas Cook trophy or Juan Camper (when we beat Barcelona away in 2009)Yep. Incredible, really. Mansfield Town. At Maine Road!

If you look at who United actually had to play on their way to winning at Wembley (Wembley! even more of a home game then that it is now) in ’68, it's really not all that. Benfica themselves were no longer at their best. They only had Eusebio at world level. Real Madrid was the genuinely tough one, and they scraped that.

They've won one league title in over 110 years mate, not an FA cup since the mid 50's, their main successes were in the late 1800's , when there was only 16 teams in the league , when teams like Bury, Darwen and even Glossop North End graced the top division. They've lived off that European Cup win for the past 100 years.Ha ha how childish were those cups? From what I remember Chelsea brought loads of them recently. Always seemed ironic to me how vociferous the Villa chants were from a club that has won relatively little over the years!
