I remember your protest was that to do with Fergie's press conference responses ?

Seems to be Jose’s opinion too

Bit early for the end of season dvd titles.

When we signed Stam, Yorke and Blomqvist? Doubt it pal.

Did he make loads of excuses in advance?

Certain yorke didnt arrive till a few games in? And that we had a low key preseason then got spanked by an impressive looking arsenal side in the CS. Plus beckham was expected to be a bit of a melt in the face of all the abu wc hate. Actually went on to have his grwatest season for us

Stam was getting slaughtered after that Charity Shield match.

Odd watching fans morph into Cold War Kremlinologists looking for hidden meanings from a stage managed contractual obligation

In the media. He’d been good in the WC that summer.

2-0 down at home to Leicester in the first league game of that season too. Christ imagine the match day thread on here.

06/07 maybe?

Only signed Carrick and the whole Wink/Rooney and Ronaldo bull shit. Chelsea looking dominant the season before too.

Yup, expectations were low that year, it was even possible to get away tickets regularly without knowing Pythagorean theorem to the last decimal place.

Would like to think this season will be a pleasant surprise but realistically it will be utter shit.

1995 is another one where nobody was expecting much - a couple of key players sold that summer and nobody of significance brought in........
