Don't remember that as it was the year I was born! One good thing came out of that year though..at least we stopped THEM from winning the Treble.

I'm not sure we would have won the title i Macheda had not scored that, we were struggling for form and that goal really got us going again. ****ing loved that game !!
Unbelieveable wasn't it. We were 2-0 down weren't we? I can't believe the stuffy goal he scored at Sunderland a week later. We should give the kid a chance because he looks like he knows the United way! EDIT: 2-1 down with 10 mins to go. I still knew we would win though!
cheers dude - trying to steal my earlier thunder? I wasn't there but got the charity shield later that year .... one word CARNAGE!
Evening Tunns. Was a youngster in '77, was agreat tonic to the year before which was the first FA cup final I actually watched. Was great beating Liverpool, I had no idea at the time how much I would grow to despise the very mention of that name the older I got. At the time it was simply making up for losing to Southampton the year before. Simpler times!
All reet Fella = yep that day was the best day of my life not long after spending 3 years living on merseyside, i would of willing been the Doc's butt monkey that day ... well maybe not but you get my gist1 Just having a paella evening with our buds we went to Alcudia last yaer, top recip[e I'll post it to ya when I'm sober. Been on differant sites with my mate, he's a local but a good lad, likes watching United too but a CCFC, a real one not one of those monkeys, anway he's into the old perry/soulboy/indie thing, and I've just got a rare pair of addidas all red suede "London" (similar to samba/gazelle 11) for £35 and he's gutted, so we're trawling through the net trying to finf some thinf rare for him. the girls are laughing at us saying were a pair of kids. Funny enough the charity shield later that year (77) is when it all the above kicked of for me ...like you say simpler times, more fun though... god I miss them
Many of the above, but one crucial one that's not been mentioned is Cantona vs Newcastle at St James' Park in 1996. Crucial in us overhauling them in the title race, and a well-worked goal all round.
