The article alludes to the 'birth of Fergie time' or some shit.

Half of the top 10 involve United in some way

11. The Luis Suarez-Patrice Evra saga (October 15, 2011)

You mean 'When Luis Suarez racially abused Patrice Evra'

The Mendes "goal"

On what grounds did they seperate Terry's racism and Suarez' racism? You'd expect them to be next to each other. Why is one more shocking than the other? And why is the one where he was found not guilty higher than the one who was found guilty?

Idiotic list.

The Evans and Cisse pantomime is in, but Vieira jumping towards and gobbing at Neil Ruddock before storming off the field at West Ham and isn't. Okay

His professional playing career came to an end on 8 April 1996, whilst playing for Coventry against Manchester United.

In 1995, the 30-year-old North Stand was demolished and work quickly began on a new stand,[38] to be ready in time for Old Trafford to host three group games, a quarter-final and a semi-final at Euro 96.

Ali Dia has to be in there.

The part I remember (North Stand T2 fairly low, about half way toward scoreboard end row 5 or 6 iirc) was one of the training/physio guys chucking a bucket of water on the blood.. Couldn't see blood clearly from the angle but as soon as that splashed up mix of water & blood we could see it wasn't pretty..

Also Schmeich's reaction...

Yeah that's when I saw it. Remember thinking Schmeichel has been kicked in the face.

Supporter Matthew Simmons rushed down 11 rows of Selhurst Park's main stand to taunt the Frenchman as he left the field. Simmons claimed he shouted: 'Off you go Cantona – it's an early bath for you!'

ffs

Saw him (Busst) a few years later when he was managing a non-league team.

His leg was a £#%&!ing mess of scars.
