Sadly, a match which in the end meant nothing either club as both ended up going down. But United managed to do it in one of those I probable ways that is so typical of us!

I have said this before but have a great picture of Eves' winner in my mind's eye. What a strike. he was on the left and hit it into the top right hand corner.

Leeds fans in the BLUT threw seats on their own fans. Never the brightest.

We beat Palace 3-1 away the following Saturday and then failed to win any of our last 9 games. Luckily the 4 teams below us were all awful.
