Feels an eternity since we played. Wouldn't usually get excited about an FA cup game against lower league opponents but with no game for ages and all the mess that has happened since it will be good to see us play again.
I just hope the players don't have a mid season break hangover and also aren't too effected from the off the field stuff either. And we need Jadon Sancho to find his feet in this team and fast.
I bet Boro will be bringing a big following too so it should make for a decent atmosphere.
We actually play a game of football today

Every time I think of Boro at OT I think of them being the last team to beat us in the 98/99 season and that was in December 🤯
We went unbeaten in three comps for the next 6 months and won the treble. That season will never be bettered by any side.

I remember them knocking us out of the cup on at least one occasion since then too. Andy Campbell (who?) scored against us from some random memory I have

A Laurent Blanc mistake, I think, led to one of the goals. He left a bell to go through to the keeper and someone latched onto it. That Villa comeback was amazing - one of my absolute favourite United games.

I do love how us football fans can recollect who scored a goal and how 20 years ago but I barely remember what I had for dinner last week.

Was that the one with a P Neville own goal? I remember Rudd getting a the winner and all the fans running on the pitch.

That’s the one. Ruud came off the bench - I think the idea had been to rest him. Scored the equaliser and the winner, where he rounded Schmeichel.

I did an online quiz recently where I had to name the United squads for every year since the start of the PL. Found I could remember most of the fringe players around 1998-2004 for had to really strain those synapses to recall e.g. who was our starting right back a couple of seasons ago.

Yeah, but we’re only talking about 2002. It’s not like that was 20 years ago.
