@terrychristian Same early memories Terry. Even when the pitch was a complete mud bath his kit didn’t need washing. Would be a 100m plus defender these days

Captain Marvel before Robson . First true memory of both him and Ian Storey Moore at Old Trafford was a fantastically exciting 4-2 victory against Coventry City

🇾🇪 A Tribute to the Legendary Martin Buchan 🧵 When Martin Buchan walked through the doors at Old Trafford in February 1972, Manchester United were in chaos. Frank O'Farrell had just paid a club record £125,000 for a 22-year-old defender from Aberdeen, the youngest Scottish Cup-winning captain in history. What we got was far more than a centre-half, we got our spine back. 🔴 The Dark Years Relegation in 1974 was unthinkable. Just six years after lifting the European Cup, we found ourselves preparing for a season at Brisbane Road against Leyton Orient. While some players thought they were too good to go down, Buchan saw it differently. "I wasn't happy about relegation," he explained, "but I decided to stay and help the club back into the First Division." Under Tommy Docherty, we stormed the Second Division with breath taking football, drawing the highest average attendance of any club in the country, and yes, even higher than every First Division club. Buchan led from the front, and the Theatre of Dreams roared back to life. ⚪️ That Wembley Afternoon May 21, 1977. Buchan almost didn't play. A knee ligament injury in the final league game at West Ham had him in serious doubt. "I even told the manager the morning after the game I might as well go back to Manchester," he recalled. But Docherty insisted he get on the bus. Physio Laurie Brown worked miracles. Strapped up and full of anti-inflammatory tablets, Buchan led United out at Wembley. First challenge was a 50-50 with Tommy Smith. "After that, I thought I would be okay," he said with typical understatement. "If you can survive one of Tommy's tackles, you'll be okay." He didn't just survive. He pocketed Kevin Keegan, the two time Ballon d'Or winner playing for the best team in Europe. United won 2-1, denying Liverpool the treble. More significantly, Buchan became the first and only player to captain both Scottish and English FA Cup winning sides. A record that still stands. John Motson captured it perfectly in his commentary: "How appropriate, that a man called Buchan climbs the 39 steps to collect the trophy." 1/3 #MUFC #ManchesterUnited #MartinBuchan

@jimharbertsonce He is like that golf club bore - read nothing knows nothing yet is convinced he is the cleverest man he has ever met 🤣🤣

Simon Jordan has the intellect of a gnat. The predictable tory bore down the golf club.

It’s difficult to determine who is the bigger c**t: Simon Jordan or Jim Ratcliffe. It’s a close call.

@R_o_M An excellent way of identifying where the twats live

I was in Sale before and people have painted England flags over the mini roundabouts. And England flags dangling over bridges on the motorway. What the fuck is going on? 🙃

@memorialdevice Travelled a lot around the country in the last week. Loving all the flags being raised in certain parts of the country. Reveals where the twats live

@memorialdevice Remember when we heard it in Dublin. Still makes every best of playlist

"This is a bit of a farcical end to what's been a brilliant Test match. The game is more important than individuals."
Were India right not to choose to shake hands and end the game?

@memorialdevice Great article. One of the greatest albums ever

It is not overproduced. It is absolutely brilliant.

In the age of the gazillion dollar stadium production show, kind of admire Oasis for having the confidence to just have a bunch of middle age blokes in streetwear on a bare stage with a basic screen and few fireworks thrown in at the end 🙏

Today, my daughter’s school is shutting down.
Why? Labour’s tax hikes on school fees & NI hikes on staff.
100s of distraught kids & parents.
A high-quality, nurturing school forced to close because of greedy, arrogant taxation.
Disgusting.
All it does is pile more pressure on overcrowded state schools.
How can ANYONE justify taxing education? Labour are destroying the very foundations of our children’s future.
What an absolute disgrace. @UKLabour

@memorialdevice Both of em have heard it. Reckon it was a bit emotional for the small one. I’ll let you know after I see them in the flesh tonight. 😉

I've been watching Oasis live clips from their first reunion show and I have to say that although I'm not into them, it doesn't really seem to be 'working'. To me, it's pedestrian and not living up to the hype.
English
Is it me or does this Oasis gig look half full? Loads of space on the floor, and empty seats everywhere. Personally I wouldn’t go if they paid me. Seems like others feel the same.
