Some folk have short memories, during the glory days of swales we had the widest pitch and massive floodlights

Whatever did happen to those Utd fans who used to say “they could do what they want” , that they “weren’t arrogant just better”. That “we’d only come to see Utd”

It seems they now whine that the boy next door is bigger and better and plead that someone in authority help them out.

Pathetic.

Yep, I remember that fact well. Was also a question on the reverse of a Pannini Premier League backing sticker.

That wide pitch and massive floodlights didn't really help much, did they? :-)
