The Red Devils was something else they nicked; in this case from Salford City RLFC.

Apparently, the former City player thought it had a nice ring to it.
I saw a car in Eccles once with a big rear window sticker saying something like 'follow me to the REAL red devils, follow me to Salford RLFC'. I thought the average rag would just not understand that.
 
No others, Boro has been my only semi final, so i don't want United to fuck it up for me, i want 4 goals minimum
Boro were a tough team defensively in those days so 2 goals looked a bit of a stretch. At hat point, only QPR had conceded fewer goals and the top 4 had all conceded more. In my dad's car on the way to the game we had the radio on and it must have been a local radio station. They had a pre-match phone-in for people to predict the score and I always remember a kid coming on saying "We're going to win 4-0". We all laughed and said "He's a bit optimistic". He wasn't.
 
Nope just didn't get to it, suffered in my local
I'd started working down in London in summer 2009 and eventually a handful of blues got together to watch games and we found a pub in central London which was happy to accomodate us. We'd maybe get 30 for games at best but I turned up that night and could barely get in the door there were so many, the vast majority Blues, there.

We had loads of injuries as well for the second leg, funnily enough we lost to them twice away 0-1 league and cup in the space of 3/4 days & beat them twice at home 4-0.

We'd just had a new teacher started at school a few weeks before Xmas from Bro', he was stood a bit behind me on the Kippax but when i brought it up in class he did the 'it wasn't me' line.
 
What’s taking them so long to buy Fernandes? They’ve wanted him for over 12 months, I’d have thought it would have been sorted at the start of the window

I went with 4 mates from school, the Kippax that night was one of the best crowds i've ever been part of, it was bouncing

Perhaps his English is not very good and he needs time to learn the phrases " I have supported Utd since i was a boy". " Utd are the biggest club in the world" etc

In reality they have been trying to sell him to anyone but Utd are the only team interested. Can see them now going straight in at 60 million, or 60 million plus Rojo which in Utd fans minds is 60 million and the selling club chairman thinking i would have taken 40 million for him as no one else interested and the fools started negotiations at 60 million

It would have been £40 million in a straight deal, but the rags are so desperate to offload Rolo that they’re prepared to pay the £20 million sweetener!

Went with my Dad that night, one of the best memories of growing up watching the blues. Stood at the back of the North Stand, must of been good my Dad was singing all night at the match , he very rarely did that. If he was alive today he’d be loving it
 
Not gonna lie, don’t know much about this Fernandes. His stats definitely look good on paper, if he’s that good though, how come more clubs aren’t all over him? If he’s such a talent, surely you wouldn’t have just the rags in for him. Anyone know more about him, and how much would he improve them?

While the rent boy is in charge, not much.

They need the constant attention from $ky and the rest, seriously, have you never noticed that a new signing is announced on the Tuesday, but then it shows he needs a medical which is on the Thursday before signing for all the weekend papers and coverage on the Friday.

Don't forget, they have to hire a piano.
