1976_Child Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 Didn't we do quite well against them in 1976? Something to do with a cup of some sort. Might be mistaken though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Nicholas Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 We're going to win on Sunday. How do I know? Because it's my birthday on Sunday, and the last time it was my birthday and Saints were on tele was when we whipped The Yids in the FA Cup. I didn't go to that game and watched it on the box. I am not going to this game, but again will be watching on tele. (Am I being optimistic?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwarwick Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 I must admit we have had some cracking wins over united but I'm going for 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever a red and white Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 Cannot wait for Sunday. Yes we'll probably get thrashed, but isn't it fun to just imagine and consider the possibility of winning. It would be brilliant. There might be a load of JCL's but who cares again. Full stadium, great atmosphere, cup game and nothing to lose. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowsaintsfan Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 win 1-0 with KD saving a last minute penalty infront of the chapel end, the final whistle blows and he runs the length of the field (Tim Flowers style) and into the Northam end to celebrate followed by the rest of the team!

alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 6-3. We had two goals disallowed as well. Still remember Bruce Whathisname from South Today doing the report on Grandstand; while he was live the second disallowed goal went in then the final allowed goal, and the slot was only about 30 seconds long. He was physically drained by watching this match........ Happy times...:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsnodisbelieving Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 http://saintsnodisbelieving.blogspot.com/2008/12/great-goals-and-victories-over-man-utd.html I have been looking for some video clip footage on the net, but due to working I have not had the time to scour everywhere. I have thought found two good clips so far. Which you will see on the link. A sublime lon by Le Tissier against Schmichal and Stokes goal to win the FA CUP. My own thoughts on Man Utd go like this, In the mid 90s it was not just the beating of Man Utd which was so good but the manor of their excuses when they lost. Beating them one nil on a monday night, Fergie complained that the ground was too small and that Manure was used to playing at larger grounds and this had dis orientanted them... Then we beat them 6-3 with a lot of the goals coming near the end, Fergie complained that the ref played to much added time. Which had its own sartorial elegance, due to the fact no ref in the land would finish a game until Manure had scored the winner, with a few games involving them having over 7 mins over time and them scoring last gasp winners. Also it did not matter about the time, as Manure had not led at any point. But my all time favourite is http://saintsnodisbelieving.blogspot.com/2008/12/invisible-man.html the famous grey shirt, when they arrived and conceded three goals in the first half as Manure, and to hide the shame changed shirts to the blue and white stripes and left as sheff wed. That has to be the best excuse for losig ever. So please Saints win this game, because it will not only be the victory which we will be class but the excuse to come with it will just add to the occasion. http://saintsnodisbelieving.blogspot.com/ That aside, my blog turned pro yesterday and had its first article from a professional sports writer. Your welcome to come and have a look. And any support would be welcome. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyin Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 I'm going to try and locate the 'greykitgate' press conference I attended at Old Trafford whilst on work experience for BBC GMR back in 96. That really was a laugh and an eye opener. Excuses flying everywhere, journos p1ssing themselves and Martin Edwards calling me a w^nker. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 for those of us old enough to have been there and I know there are many on here who were, the Cup Final will never ever be bettered as a win against MU, it just meant so much, and still does, seeing the ball go past stepney still brings a shiver down the spine, the split second of disbelief, followed by complete pandemonium!! The top tier of the old stadium was literally bouncing up and down, incredible memories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
