When United were hard to beat and fun

[CMC]

To be positive for a minute… a thread full of good memories.

I’ve posted this before, but our Greatest ever manager and probably best ever goalkeeper involved

[CMC]

When James Perch hit that i thought “Goal of the season”

[Awaywego]

So many, I’ll start with the win over Crewe to take us to our first Wembley, don’t mind admitting that I cried that night.

Rare local derby-ish win(i’ve tried to find the game at Sincil Bank over Xmas where we took half the Co-op Stand, but i can’t find it)

[CMC]

Went down on the Train, Rushden were skint and Andy Butler so nearly got a Hat-trick.

We were neither hard to beat nor fun when James bloody Perch was at the club!

As i know a fair few Posh fans, this was enjoyable.

He also scored an even better one against us when he was stealing wages from Mansfield.

Now, not a good memory. I left my ticket at home and had to ring my brother to bring it to the station for me so i missed having a few pints in Birmingham. The Jason Koumas Show.

Found a great pub in Burslem, cheap too.
Hammered it down with rain and Vale battered us but we got a draw.
On Train home was talking to a mate saying we escaped with a point and an old lad piped up(might be Jeff Pugh) “They weren’t that bad”

[CMC]

The loudest i’ve ever heard it in the DRE

[CMC]

Watched this in a Pub in Ireland and told the barman we’ll lose this. For once i was wrong.

Great away win. Short walk to Spa Lane Vaults pub then find the bus, walk back with a police escort…

5 of the best goals we’ve ever conceded in a single game. Kevin Phillips magnificent. You sure Koumas was involved? I’d travelled down from my mate’s wedding in Newcastle the day before, not a great trip with a hangover!

That WBA game was one I remembered…. great goals and they had a good team. Zoltan Gera a cult hero there

I was at the Hawthorns that day, was pretty depressing watching those goals fly in.

Koumas not involved but a player of equal legendary status most definitely was…the infamous Tomi Ameobi made an appearance off the bench!

Philips was 10 yards offside for his goal. Stopped and looked at the linesman, saw no flag so carried on and tucked it away. We were actually still in the game until then but certainly never in the game afterwards.

It’s a hard criticism to suggest a top of the table team are easy to beat

I’m not sure he was given how deep Cliff is but Phillips sure took the chance. His chip for the third is one of the best goals I’ve ever seen us concede. The sending off of Williams definitely made life much harder for us and I think it was a pretty harsh decision – Murphy virtually had the ball in his hands when Gera went down.

Not Koumas, Koren! Began with a K

That West Brom game was great, but we lost.

The game at Exeter, when their new stand was just open, where we won 4-0, was excellent. We were just like Brazil – and Beagrie was outstanding.
