A fitting send off

[Wizzerboy]

For Sir Bobby Charlton before the Manchester derby.
Both Utd and City legends there

when i was a teen an awful long time ago i used to know virtually the names of the city / united first teams Yet i would be unable to name very few of the current teams. is it just a long term memory thing or just a fondness for that era. I was never city or utd but they were epic clashes in the seventies,

I think it's a fondness of the era.
Could probably name every fa cup winners from 1970 - 90
Couldn't tell you who won 3 years ago though

thanks for the likes herts and wizzerboy. mud filled pitches bad hair does pay at the gate, a proper first division. which them down the road will never see. priceless.

A true English legend of the game.

Watching the match now, the gulf is ever widening between these two teams. United look poor and I’d think they’ll be battling for the final Thursday night euro conference slot

United's biggest problem is their captain, closely followed by their 'star' forward Rashford. They have the wrong mentality and yet get guaranteed games despite performance. The second biggest problem is giving contract extensions to underwhelming players to protect their market value.

If United finished 6th while playing football with an actual coherent philosophy, 99% of matchgoing fans would be happier than the current XI getting 4th.

Hannibal, Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund, Diallo instead of Eriksen, Bruno, Rashford, Martial, Sancho. That's not to say the youngsters would be world beaters, just that the current crop of undroppables need a kick up the arse.

And I thought it was just the defence was shite

Might be because most of them are foreigners now?

I found it sad that Old Trafford could not afford possibly England's greatest ever player a minutes silence before the Manchester Derby yesterday!
