Kids, I know it wouldn't mean as much now. But back then Man U had a good team rather than the mid table also rans that they are these days.

I watched that in the Vernon Arms in Liverpool as we were working up there at the time, which was quite funny as the locals enjoyed it too.

It feels more like 5 years ago. That's crazy. We are as far from that era now as we were from the BFR era in 2009!

Oh brother, I think about stuff like that with the music of my youth, like we're as far away now from Screamadelica as that album was from Perry Como.

I remember that well. It was the works Christmas party that evening with a few  man utd supporting colleagues in attendance. I was playing it cool as if beating them was no big deal.

I cant believe thats 15 years, remember it clearly, I’d worked a conference for work on the Saturday and got back just in time for k/o.

That passage of time stuff…in the 15 years between 94 and 2009, i did 3 years at Uni, met my partner, bought our first house, got married, had our daughter, the wife was pregnant with our son when that match happened, bought our next house. In the next 15 years since the match, the kids have grown up into teenagers and Im still working at the same place, life goes too quick.
