Came across this whilst reading an article about the Utd goalkeeper (who is considered to be Alex Ferguson's worst ever signing). No reason for posting it but no apologies for doing so. Apart from Pahars excellent performance what I always remember about this game was Tiss' second goal. "Laid on a plate" according to John Motson. In fact it was a 16 yard side-foot volley which was made to look simple by the great man. The cross was whipped in too. It summed up Tiss for me. He almost made things look too easy at times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esFAGx7RDL4 If anyone can get the clip embedded please do so, I don't know how.
I was sat on my own in the middle of the Stretford end for that game. Loved it. For all the abuse Taibi took for that goal, if people remember, he saved a one v one from James Beattie right at the end of that game, which saved United the defeat. #mariondoesstam
Apparently he was a player like Sterling believing he was not fit to play...sadly turned out to be right. Another strange fact...he liked to change at half time...even his underpants (makes you wonder what he was doing in the first half....a Puncheon perhaps).
Hughes always raised his game against prestigious opponents, saying that I did enjoy his short time with us & he certainly could have had more goals (what was it....2???) if a couple of his screamers hadn't hit the wood work.

Your wish, and all that jazz, Lff: [video=youtube;esFAGx7RDL4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esFAGx7RDL4[/video]
