    It's fantastic being able to have these debates 

    Totally. What a couple of years we've been lucky enough to live through. And more to come

    Wtf, am I mental or is does the Villa match have a pretty obvious kit clash?

    I'm colour blind and had to have a lie down after about ten seconds. And a large G and T to recover from the sensation and rage at the non-daltonian broadcasting cunts

    Did the game just carry on as normal?

    Yep, from what I can recall the game carried on but there was a lot of police activity, disturbance. Horrendous trouble outside after the game. Grim times.

    An unbelievable 40 years to the day since we beat Carlisle in our promotion season. Think it was Easter Monday? Carlisle were also contenders for much of that season. Saved a pen then broke upfield to score at the other end. Happy days. This from nufc.com:

     

    1984 Carlisle United (h)
    5-1 (2-0)
    Division Two 
    P38, 73pts, 3rd/22
    Keegan(12,54), Waddle(39), Beardsley(73,77)
    Coughlin(80) 
    33,458 
    Vandals broke into the ground before this bank holiday game and sprayed slogans on the pitch related to an ongoing criminal trial. 

    A claim of broken glass also having been scattered was found to be false and after the offending slogans had been painted out, the match went ahead as scheduled. 

    Kevin Carr saved Alan Shoulder's penalty and also a follow-up shot with Keegan heading United's third seconds later as play rapidly switched to the other end of the field.

    Victory and favourable results in the games involving rivals Manchester City and Grimsby Town meant that promotion was in reach - United having a seven point cushion with four games remaining. 

    Can't believe that is 40 years ago. I was in the corner for that one. Still my favourite season to this day.

    Not a player but pretty sure I just saw Bear Gryls on the quayside. Don’t known why he’d be there like.
