What was remarkable was that the tiny totts made a handsome profit on him.

The Totts didn't make any profit from the wonder kid Jason Dozzell...

&, my personal favourite, Arsenal's new goal machine: Chris Kiwomya - 3 years, 3 goals...

Only if you get relegated next season!

(Have I mentioned that I went to the 1978 cup final?)
((I was also at a game at Highbury against the not so great ITFC where that donkey Adams went on a run up the pitch, and we made him look like Maradona in his prime... shameful...)))

he did that a bit towards the end, early onset dementia forgetting where his place was.

One suspects the Cup Final could cement or kill De Gea's United future.


Just hoping he doesn't do a Big Jim. :/

That's a good photo.

I hope Man U turn up with their A game and make it a good (and competitive) match.

As long as we don't get any more injuries to our back line abd midfield, we can beat them (as we showed in January).

I was at that game and the replay.

Many people remember it for Leighton and Sealey.

You know what I remember it for?

My dad bought me a King Cornetto at the services on the way home after the replay to celebrate.

If I caught this fella in bed with my missus, I'd tuck him in and ask if he wanted an extra pillow, but singing?

I'm not sure about this one, Eric.

The FA Cup seemed a much bigger deal back then.

It kinda changed in the late 90s when the Champion's League started allowing 2nd place teams in, to the point now where the top 6 or 7 teams can all be off around Europe in various European cup competitions every year, so it was the biggest cup competition for all but the 2 teams that made it to the European and Uefa Cup.

My earliest memory is somehow the 3-2 extra time victory in the Liverpool v Everton final in may 87. Then after that United in 90 and the Forest v Spurs final in 91, Gazza's freekick and doing his knee.
