May well have already been answered. but how is Dong rated nowadays? Haven't heard anything like the shocking reports that came through a couple of years back for a while now, most seem to be positive in some way. Any chance of him actually doing something for us? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Those on RI who watched the last two games were raving about him and he did well in Antwerp last season (although there were concerns about his attitude I think). He looks a bit like David Bellion but with the ability to actually control a ball.

I'd just assumed that Nike would have had it in their contract or something?

I was actually born in Sarf London but moved up to sunny Stockport at the age of 2. My dad never really followed football. Enjoyed watching it but didn't support a team.

So basically it came down to the primary school I was at. I had to choose a club and the majority supported Man Utd. So I became the proverbial sheep and followed.

The first season that I can really remember was 93/94 with us beating chelsea 4-0 in the FA cup final. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Which school? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Tithe Barn Primary. Followed by Priestnall Secondary and Parrswood 6th Form. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The Parade was so amazing. I remember being a 15 year old kid walking around on Deansgate outside my dads office with an inflatable CL trophy and having 30 year old men coming up to kiss the balloon :*)

Atmosphere was so fb it was untrue.

I remember being so so delighted when you won that, the circumstances and all, (dramatically, against the germans Teddy :*)) and dare I say I got a tingle down my spine just watching it again.

Definately one of my favourite non-spurs/england moments </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Same here- one of my most memorable non-Arsenal football memories. A crazy, compelling finale.

I reckon we should take Martin Jol out for a few beers - he seems the sort who'd be up for that - and get him so drunk that he'll accept a Richardson/Lennon swap deal.

Admittedly it's debatable that there's enough alcohol in the world to get a person THAT drunk :/

Keith your stomach is bigger than all of those at the wall. How many times do you need telling.

Martin, I will be at Piccadilly at 10:30 AM at the latest.

Don't be late because I have no phone, thus no way of contacting you.

Carling Cup win so completely worth it. Might watch the official dvd. what a day. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Such a strange day, I was there and we had won the cup but I knew right then that it was the beginning of the end for Ruud. As soon as he brought on Vidic and Evra I sat there fuming for the rest of the match...definitely overshadowed winning for me.

Best bit of business our former chairman done getting £2m+ for that waste of space, I know Saha isn't the quality you require, but the bloke isn't on the same level as Daveeed. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

£3m wasn't it? icon_frown.gif

wouldn't be surprised if we let you keep Evans for another season if you get promoted btw - he'll be playing in the Prem one way or another next season.

It's back on! United will win the league, smash Chelsea in the FA Cup with Ronaldo scoring a hattrick, Rooney will score a brace in the Champions League final with Scholes sealing the win with a 35 yard screamer, and Richardson will move to Colchester for 750k.
