I know we had many a laugh during David Moyes spell of footballing genius at Old Trafford, but on this day in 2005 Stuart Pearce decided to move David James up front, with a striker on the bench and in a game where a win would of taken us to Europe
Memories.
The Robbie Fowler penalty was right in front of where I sat then, I think it was borderline criminal he was allowed to play Premier League football at that stage of his career - looking back it was probably worth it just for that goal against United in the 4-1 win though

In 1994, Pearce was accused of directing a racial slur at Paul Ince during a Nottingham Forest–Manchester United match. It was alleged Pearce called Ince an "arrogant black c***".[47] Pearce has since admitted the offence, saying, "It wasn't appropriate at the time
Would it be appropriate now?

David James was lucky not to get sent off as well

The actions of a t!t.
Glad he got sacked the following season.

That 06-07 season under him was the worst season to sit through for my generation of blues, and I include the time spent in the lower leagues through the 90s! We were absolutely wretched at home.

Yep, the worst season as a fan I can remember. Ten goals at home all season wasn’t it?
