Really sorry to hear this news. Your Dad’s contributions, especially relating to the old days in the early 60s, will be missed. His genuine passion for the Sky Blues was so clear, and it must be a great comfort to know how much pleasure football gave him over the whole of his life. RIP Slowpoke.

Think you've been a bit conservative there Pete. In terms of recruitment / value for money I'd easily go +1 for several of them.

That's assuming that the playoff push would have happened at all under Sisu, rather than the rug being pulled from under MR's feet.

Don't know for sure, but I'd have thought that instead of 6 people paying bus fares, it might be cheaper & quicker to get taxi(s) or an Uber?

Absurd thing to say. Like plenty of others, I've defended both from the start and sung their praises. They are performing how I thought they would. But it's hard work pointing out players' abilities to people who'd rather concentrate on a few mistakes or rough edges.

Being wrong about players is one thing. Abusive character assassination is another.

Intravenously?

You're channelling your inner Doug King there.

If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly

I think we've already lost the first leg - was it at our place or theirs?!

I was there too. I imagined it was going to be an electric atmosphere purely because it was an international, but of course it was pretty flat. I don't even recall Eusebio :(

And who's gonna pay for it?

The other thing you might need to check is that you have 'Manage' (not just 'Assign') rights to her account? You can request that change online by finding her in your network and choosing the edit option.

Pretty sure it was called the Spion Kop, even on the signs outside. Could be wrong of course, but I'd be amazed if it was called the East Stand before the much later redevelopment.

But the replay did constitute an additional fixture for him to avoid getting booked if you know what I mean. He's been suspended from the Semi Final at Wembley for getting two bookings across 5 matches in the earlier rounds. Seems really harsh, but the rules were known in advance.

That image seems all wrong. Pre-decimal prices (i.e. 60s or earlier) but there was surely no such thing as the "East Stand" then. That was the Kop end wasn't it? The prices are believable though (12.5p and 2.5p in today's units).

As a general observation, I think most people probably underestimate how hard it must be to do live commentary well.

Full description please :)

I recall that Hutch scored a legendary solo effort in an away game (Highbury or the Baseball Ground?) not long after he joined us. Was anyone here lucky enough to witness it?

United have deployed an interesting defensive formation there. The boomerang?
