At 4.45 on Sat 10th April 1993 we were two points ahead of ManU in terms of our Premier League total and had both scored 51. Ten added minutes and two Steve Bruce goals later we were behind on both counts and the gap has just got bigger and bigger ever since.
18 years later we are 521 points behind them and our goal difference is now 757 worse!
What's more Utd had won the FA Cup seven times and European Cup once at that stage, both the same as us.
The phrase "Fergie-time" comes to mind.
