The Commentator keeps saying how good our defense was this day. If only we had that in the 'Barclays Premier League' today.

I was pissing myself at one part where the United left winger has the ball and he spins round about 4 times, nearly stumbling over, despite the defender being about 6 yards away...

Proper football :D none of the shit diving etc.. of the modern game. Goalkeepers of today would be pressing charges for assault if they played in that game :lol:

I see that even in 'the golden era' we still couldn't get our corners past the first defender ;)
May the bridges I burn light your way
