Only three-and-a-bit years before Liverpool reach that stage in the cycle btw.

Yeah, I bet the last eighteen years barely make a dent in the anguish
Oh they certainly make up for it, that's true, but whatever comes afterwards can never change the feeling at the time. There was no way of knowing in 92 what was around the corner - instead it felt Newcastle in 96, the one big chance blown never to return.

my third football match iirc
My first match at Old Trafford (many years after my first actual match) was against Sheffield United in 1991. I'd like to be able to say something about The Blades' performance to add to this thread, but I can't remember anything.

feel like uniting allardyce and morgan would result in a platonic ideal of dislikable club. long shot though i think.

A Tom Huddlestone-sized 18-year-old centre-half, Maguire is a minor cult figure in South Yorkshire, having dumped Craig Bellamy on his backside three times while making his senior debut against Cardiff in April.

That's the kid they poached from Le Havre, and nearly got in a lot of trouble for but y'know.

Heh, I didn't know about that - the youtube comments under the highlights are as partisan as ever, Liverpool all over them til the penalty, referee to blame, credit to the lads, etc

Sheffield United have named Danny Wilson as their new manager on a three-year contract.
The 51-year-old ex-Sheffield Wednesday boss left his last post at Swindon in March, resigning with the club in the League One relegation zone.

I just hope they have treacle in their boots tomorrow night, can't be dealing with the potential of a last game relegation like in 2002. My heart can't take it. After Burnley getting into bother for putting out a weakened squad for a dead rubber game it seems we'll up against a full strength xi who have just won 4 on the bounce.

oops, yeah that is correct. It was a bad year for silly bald guy... and Patrick Stewart. It was a fucking conspiracy of other managers putting out weakened sides, and ulp... we just needed a point for safety in the penultimate game and completely fucked it.
