me too. have we sacked him already?

So glad I froze my whatsits off that afternoon

Wasn't great. Remember the 5th Round game in 1979. A long walk back to Smethwick Rolfe St in those days (no Hawthorns Station then) along Brasshouse Lane, all factories, nowhere to leg it to. Was in Worcester doing my degree at the time and had gone with a mate who was a Smethwick/Handsworth local (Villa fan). Got chased by Baggies all down that road and then ran into Saints as they burst out of the station in numbers and then had to leg it from them as my mate could never pass for anything other than a local. Lol!

Got there quite early. there were certainly a lot of Man U there and as Nordic pointed out were outnumbered around 3 to 1. Not many saints coaches when we arrived. One Utd t w a t tried to get in the coach via the emergency exit. Got his head inside only to find it joined to the toe end of a ten hole DM boot. Parked up and pretty soon the coach park was full of Saints. don't recall Mancs marauding around pre match. Gates were not open when we left the coach so had to wait a while to get in on the steps, again I don't recall much in the way of Man U fans kicking off. Inside Wembley it was like an away game as you would expect given there were 70 odd thousand of them inside. I was in the upper tier to the right of the tunnel, pretty much on an angle with Bobby's shot which you could see Stepney was never getting to. A surreal few seconds. Cue the euphoria followed by YGGYFHKI from United fans, but nothing really serious went on that I could see. By the time we were out there wasn't much going on outside just a hell of a lot of happy people. Now Bradford in the sixth round, that was an experience!

Indeed, sometimes I wish social media in all its 'glory would just disappear up its own arse. What did the trolls and keyboard warriors do before its inception? Over to you Glasgow, Alpine, Dalek and the other mongs?

This place is a fu cking online idiots convention

Been reading the book of the same, fascinating insight into May 1940.

Saw it on plane yesterday, agreed!

The worse things get the crazier the pompous Sheeite posted by the keyboard warriors

Indeed but on my way out tomorrow so bit of a journey to get back for Sunday, plus not sure SWMBO would be toochuffed if I bailed.

Best trip to the Dell in midweek I can recall in Prem Era. Won't be watching on Saturday though. Will be slumming it in the Indian Ocean in celebration of my 60th birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary, both reached in the second half of last year. Even get to go on a seaplane!

But a consistent one I suppose.

Don’t be so generous, he’s a c**t

However unconvincing we were that day the officials dropped an almighty b-o-l-l-o-c-k which has cost us that 11th place.

Hmmmm not sure about that. Worked with Curbishley at Charlton when they were the envy of smaller top flight clubs including us for ten years. Always regarded as the brains behind that. Just couldn’t cut it as no1. Interestingly Charlton eventuallly ran out of steam progressing in a similar way we seem to be doing. At least they had the luxury of just one manager.

We had a phantom crapper at the first school I worked at in Reading. Used to get in at evenings and weekends and leave little gifts in desk drawers!.

Have to confess it’s gettting a little irritating now.

Never never offer sincere apologies to Branfoot, under any circumstances.

Ahh keep the faith! Still Jan! Just.

It's a divine right btw, but I agree!

Going to be bundle of laughs in half and hour's time on here!

Errr it's Not!

Yeah, yeah yeah you've made your point!

F**k off you boring c*nt!

Wise words from across the pond.
