Getting a bus, then train, and walking to Filbert Street only to find it was an all-ticket game. Standing around for 45 minutes hoping that they might let me in at half time. Vainly. That's two bad footballing descions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 42 minutes ago, Davefevs said: About 30 too many Never rated him from the time he got converted to a holding playmaker. Don’t get me wrong decent player, but at Man Utd you needed to be better than that. Never saw him run a game against top opposition. Never saw him give a sterling protective performance in a crucial European game for example. Suspect I’m in a minority of 1. 36 minutes ago, Red7 said: No, you're not. The only thing I disagree with is the '30 too many'. More like 34 too many, in my book. Amazed how under-appreciated he was and seemingly still is. Fergie picked him continuously. He played in all the big games whilst United were winning countless trophies in England and Europe. Controlled games, protected his defence and crucially could unlock defences and play superb balls in between the lines, spotting and finding runners easily. Think he got in PFA teams of the year and won United player of the year as well. All whilst England managers, who I assume knew better than Fergie, didn’t pick him. Should have won 100 caps and then the golden generation might have won something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He contributed to a lot of the damage that happened in the seasons after by signing poor players on long contracts we couldnt shift.It was a good decision to sack him but the strangest thing that happened was Steve Coppell who followed and the whole fiasco around David James.

An overexaggeration for sure but we finished 10th the season before and 10th that season. We were actually 15th at the time (with game/s in hand as far as I remember) not 18th as per another poster. Millen getting 15th the next season was a positive success compared to what was to follow. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bristol_city/8573494.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
