<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Performance and elimination in Milan

Losing to Southend

Arsenal and West Ham doing doubles over us

Number of games we bottled it and went 451/433

Louis Saha

Not relegating West Ham

FA Cup Final defeat/performance

Not doing the double after being so close

Realising we're not good enough in Europe

Fergie loaning Rossi out rather than keeping him

Seeing us line up 451 vs Benfica

Gary Nev's season-ending injury

Giggs' exasperating performances

BBB in Milan

Pompey away

Seeing the number 23 come up in green lights on the 4th official's board.

If we'd known what we know now, "the pace of the awards ceremony" would have been a

shoe-in. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh gosh that's funny. That's really funny. Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Mmm. You're the first. Gosh, what a clever, smart person you must be, to come up with a joke like that by your self. Mmm. That's so fresh, too. Any Titanic jokes you want to throw into this forum while we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity? Because we're right here. God you're so funny! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Nice one. I bet the irony of using that particular family guy piece that's been overused on here over the last few months was entirely intentional as well.

Yeah, it's also not remotely applicable in this context because as far as I'm aware Mark's not riffing off any currently popular cultural craze, he's just making one his timless 'jokes'.

So all round shyteness there really.

cheers mate, its actually British economic history from 1870-1970 although I'm going to answer two questions on pre WWI and then one on the interwar period. Mainly because I did the module last summer and completely sacked off everything after WWII

was quite lucky in that the tutor for it was this big loveable Argentinian guy. Used to get so worked up and vocal about all sorts of things. But completely loveable even if his English was poor to say the least.

Most Looking Forward To:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Being Champions/defending title

European Campaign

Rooney in top form for the whole campaign

New aways to go to

More trips to OT

Rossi returning as a first-teamer

Young players (GR, GP, JE) getting their chance

Rooney and Ronaldo on top form at the same time

A genuine ball-winner in midfield

Keano's OT return

Building on this season

Ron, Roon and Hunty tearing it up

Retaining our title

United vs Chelsea

Blackburn away

Seeing how the new midfield shapes up

Having a decent finisher at the club who isn't 34

CL group stage draw/decent euro aways

Watching Rooney and Ronaldo blossom into the most lethal attacking force in Europe

A permanent seat

Seeing Hargreaves show why he's the best defensive Midfielder in England

The birth of my son who will be part of the new generation of OTF United thread users

Winning the CL

The second treble

Kissing Ryan again </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

[RedBlood]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">WINNER/LOSER - Kieran Richardson </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Manchester United would be the winner and Richardsons cousin would be the loser

[Nick OGS20]

3rd - getting to more games

2nd equal = European campaign and Rossi returning as a first teamer

WINNER - Being champions and defending the title. Ratinho-style for that

well it wasn't eactly a fire mans carry. More a case of Mart went utterly numb, so i had to put my arm around him, with his arm round my neck and forcefully walk him up the stairs and out the pub to stop him getting trampled.

Kinda like when you have to carry your drunk mate out of a pub, just not with mart being drunk.
