I think you are mixing up seasons here, he was talking 85-86, you are talking 89-90.Yeah, 10 wins on the spin and then a draw v Sheff Wed I think. Some of the football played was sublime. We ended up finishing 4th in a 2 horse race.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 4-1 opening day win v Arsenal set the giddiness levels to maximum, maybe out-giddying cITEH and the scousers for a bit. Coupled with Knighton doing his kick ups infront of the Stretford End, we thought we were about to witness a new age at Utd.
Then reality hit home - we drew 1-1 at Palace then lost 2-0 at Derby, where literally 10,000 reds rocked up to the Baseball Ground. Again, Knighton was on the pitch trying to calm all the fans down! The headline in the Sunday's read "Knighton stops riot" or something similar
I think we won our next game 5-1 v Millwall then the game we won't mention ever again happened a week later

I was addressing both seasons. That's why I drew a line between the 2.
It was definately in use on their tickets and programmes in the late 50s, not sure how much longer before that it was used: MU-36840001 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!What's this badge from?
King Kenny knows what he is doing, it's all part of the grand plan.
Looking back at it, it makes sense.
Ok come clean, which one of you jokers is this then? i picked out my fave bits, whoever it is genius stuff!
Comedy gold if hes genuine!
Us and them. The transfer window.

And what a captain Robson was. What a footballer. Even though Liverpool were better than us then, I didn't have the loathing of them I do now.
Is it a rule over there that every post has to end with "And theres' nothing you can do about it".
No doubt about it though we're fecked if they get Dann.

Fantastic rant."we are secretly negotiating the transfer of the best central midfielder on the market right now. Step forward Charlie Adam" Yes, and none knows about this, right? Cause, it's a secret! But hey, don't tell Mr.Ferguson.
It wasn't me!
I am sorry Mr Ferguson (from RAWK)

well worth a read and sums up for me what is the ground shifting beneath Whisky Nose's feet
This season has been a fantastic one for me as a Liverpool supporter. I couldn’t have enjoyed everything about it any more. Everything from beating United 4-1, or drawing with stoke City 0-0, to 4 all thrillers with Chelsea and Arsenal respectively. It’s been absolutely fantastic and I’ve loved every single minute of the ups and downs on the pitch.
What’s really stirred me though, what has made me so buoyant about my club, world football and particularly about our future, is the signs this season holds in clear view, in flashing red and white lights for everybody involved in top flight football and indeed for the world to see. What has particularly has fascinated me, has been Mr Ferguson’s reaction.
Before I go on however, I’m still looking no further than the remainder of this season. There’s still so much to play for. It’s unlikely that we will win the title, and yes we know how we love nothing more than to achieve the impossible, but I didn’t expect us to come even this far at the beginning of September. It’s another reason about my joy with this season – I knew it was possible we could do this well, but because I didn’t expect it to be the case makes it much the sweeter. The same way I don’t expect us to win the title, but that’s certainly not to say we aren’t capable of it, I know we are.
And that’s the reason I refuse to lose belief. We may well come off second best but by feck do I want to go down without a fight to the death. We are not going to win feck all unless we fecking want it. We need to absolutely steam roll anyone who stands in our way until it is mathematically impossible for us to clinch it. Put the pressure on the neighbours down the road. That’s the only way they will buckle, if we force them too. Giving up the title now would be like handing it them on a plate. feck….that.
It really will blow one last warning into United’s face for next season, finishing strong this time round. It sends a message loud and clear that we are capable of fighting until the bitter, bitter end, and that’s what they will be up against next season. Not only will Rafa, the players, staff and fans be ferociously snarling and seething at the mouth come September, but United and Fergie will be fully aware that we are psychologically tough and determined enough to throw a full assault at the title next season. Not only that, but Rafa has the summer time to analyse and tinker with this already extremely strong squad; just a few minor adjustments to really let the shackles off.
Mr Ferguson is all too aware of this threat, and this season his ears have pricked and he’s started barking. He and Rafa have never been, how do you say…? As thick as thieves - you could almost taste a strong disliking to one another. Rafa came here as we became his project. The man refuses to be second best. His mentality is to win. The best manager in the world, managing the best team in the world, that he has created and sculpted, and are the dominate force in all European football. That’s his goal over the next 5 years. Doubtlessly.
And how Mr Fergoson disapproves. The media coverage this season between the two has riled me, humoured me, and caused endless debates between me and my mates. As much as it has caused mixed emotions and discussions, it’s intrigued me. It’s fantastic to see Fergie so wound up. He’s rattled alright, big time.
He knows full well that the pressure is on this season. If we carry on the way we have been with the run in we’ve got, he knows we will not stop rampaging through games until the race is done and dusted. He’s spoken out a lot this season, in his usual manner, lacking in discretion, and a full on approach. That’s how he works when his back is up, and it’s held him in good stead for a number of years. Rafa however, is subtle and mischievous in his handling of the media, making his point clear but giving nothing away. Never would you see the man sinking to the desperate lows of calling up his mate and saying “look how Mr Ferguson has disgraced you”. Rafa isn’t here to make friends in the right places and manipulate people, he’s here to fight one on one with whoever stands in his way of dominance.
It is clear Mr Ferguson isn’t just scared of throwing this season away. He’s scared of being knocked off his perch in the long term. The wrath he will face next season as we pounce towards his jugular while he’s still barking away has him massively concerned. That’s why he is barking just so loudly while we stare and snarl with intent. It’s one last desperate attempt to scare off Benitez. One last throw of the dice before the fight threatens his superiority.
Well I’m sorry Mr Ferguson, although I’m not all that apologetic about it. But we are obsessed with that title. We might not win this battle, but the war is just beginning. You’d have to agree though, Mr Ferguson, that surely the war can’t go on all that long? You are an aging dog I’m afraid, Sir. You have to ask yourself the question Mr Ferguson, have you got enough fight in you to compete for the long haul? To finally put United’s name above Liverpool’s? And even if you do somehow manage that Mr Ferguson, how long will it last, given your age? One season? It’s hardly putting Manchester United in a league of their own, in the grand sceme, Mr Ferguson. If I might be so bold.
Even if we don’t win feck all this season ladies and gentleman. We will not fall to pieces. Rafa is bringing back the glory days. And I do apologise Mr Ferguson, but there is feck all you can do about it.
Even in the summer , this is the thread which keeps on giving......
And there's nothing we can do about that, either.

Our midfield will be:

Spearing

This is why the newbie system is in place on the caf. Beat that sorta shit out of you before you get up to the mains.

Fail.
It seems to me that Liverpool fans have forgotten what their club is about. Watching coaches like Pep Guardiola reminds me of Shankley. I remember watching clips of Shankley sitting on the bench moving his arms side to side to instruct his team to pass & move, just like you often see Guardiola do with his Barca side. You see, it was all about how they played the game; pass & move. I remember watching Liverpool in the 80's dominate the English game with this 'unique' style; retaining possession, pass & move. Admittedly it was a lot easier to play in such a way without the back pass rule in those days. But it was the Liverpool way, it was a philosophy. Something to be admired as much as hatred if you were a United fan.
Nowadays Liverpool play a brand of football which would bring tears to Shankley's eyes.

Having a hard time to see a link there
If there was nothing on forward you didn't have to worry about knocking it around the defence because you could just give it to the keeper to pick up and start again from the back.
knocking it around between the defenders and ocassionally the keeper is hardly pass-and-move football
No but if there's nothing else on it can make the difference between losing the ball and retaining posession.
Dalglish spends £8m at vending machine
LIVERPOOL manager Kenny Dalglish has defended his decision to spend £8m on a bag of crisps and a can of Irn Bru.
He fought off bids from rival managers who were willing to pay up to £1.30 for the snacks and sees the purchase as a sign of Liverpool's renewed ambition.
He continued to stuff cheques into the coin slot of the vending machine until an engineer was called.
Dalglish said: "You've got to understand that there's always a premium for home-grown soft drinks like Irn Bru as they instinctively understand the British way of having lunch. And it's a full sugar can so it's got bags of energy.
"Combined with the crisps - limited edition Marmite flavour so we really had to loosen the purse strings - it's going to go brilliantly with this corned beef roll that I picked up for £20m.
"It's Fray Bentos corned beef so I'm expecting a bit of that South American flair with my dinner today. It's the kind of meal that tells the Chelseas and the Uniteds that we mean exceptionally expensive business."
Assistant Steve Clarke has angrily asked why nobody was monitoring Dalglish while the former Chelsea man was away in Italy being shown around the remains of Aquilani.
Clarke said: "I thought we had learned from January when he was allowed out for an hour to see what was in the John Lewis sale and he came back with a sofa shaped like Andy Carroll that we've no room for?"
The Daily Mash - Dalglish spends £8m at vending machine
Errr.....coz you're pretty average?
On Rafa Benitez...
Ya don't say?
Liverpool fans are utter cnuts. I thought they couldn't get any worse than cITEH fans but feck me, they've suceeded. Twats to a man.
I just find it bizarre that they still rate Benitez. He's a fecking terrible manager and has been for a very long time. It's beyond ridiculous how he's still idolised despite repeated failures both at Liverpool and Inter.
I know two Liverpool supporters and both hate Benitez for what he's done while at Liverpool and over there on RAWK they make poems about him and pray for him to come back? Insane!
And United supporters are all Asians, to a man. See look, I can play this game too.
You're an idiot.
feck off.
A fecking Arsenal fan on a United forum. You can't make this shit up.

I wonder if they'd take him back over King Kenny now?
I think if you asked them which of the two they'd prefer, their heads would explode.
