Re the conversation about God in the other thread, if there was previously no proof that God didn't exist its proved conclusively by the events that contrived our three extremely unlikely last day relegations in 1981, 1994 and 2007, not to mention the contriving to lose a penalty shoot out when the opposition missed their first three.

How any United fan cannot be an atheist is beyond me

Either that or God wears blue and white - did you consider that possibility?
We are the devil's spawn and hence cast out to suffer pain and misfortune for eternity.



..... or we're just shit.......

Wembley 2012. "Simmo is gonna smash this in the roof of the net like a goal kick" oh he smashed it alright.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Don't cut inside Wigley you tosser, go wide and get the cross..............

 

[Vancouver]

The best example I can just about remember is the third round of the FA Cup in 1993. We were losing 2-0 (or maybe 2-1) against Burnley or Hartlepool and Adrian Heath got up to smash the ball from a stupid distance. My mate said: "What the hell do you..... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

On another occasion I was with a mate's grand son the game after my friend died so I was keeping the kid company. He was still a bit upset so I told him: "Watch this, we're about to score." The ball went out and the resulting corner was powered home by one of our defenders. The little kid forgot about his grandad for a second and was amazed I could predict the future.

Boxing Day 1979. My dad was telling me that wee would beat Wendy easily. Ian Mellor puts Wendy 1 up and then at half time, my dad said we will score 2 to win. Curran puts Wendy 2 up, my dad tapped on my shoulder saying "we will score two to draw". Jeff King puts Wendy 3 up, I turned round to see my dad's next prediction, he shook his head slowly. Wendy are awarded a penalty, my dad tapped on my shoulder saying "Richardson will save this" Wrong again!

Or maybe he just doesn't like us!

Your Dad has been busy on here tonight hasn't he??

Against Leeds in the League Cup in 2002:

"Don't shoot from there!"

2 minutes later:

"For God's sake Peschi, just play for extra time and keep it in the corner!"

My Dad at the same game when 4 minutes went up on the board "we wouldn't score in 4 years".

? He died in 1999

The old chap who sat next to us in the family enclosure in the South Stand decided he'd miss the traffic by leaving the 6th Round Cup replay v Blackburn in 1993 about 10 minutes before the end to miss the traffic. We were 2-0 down at the time........ he certainly achieved his goal, by about an hour if I recall.

Was a corner wasn't it???

I do admit I have blocked almost every minute of every playoff final we have been in from my mind so I may be wrong....

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Looks like it was a corner.

 

[Selly]

I do remember just before Jags score against Leeds turning to my friend after our previous attack had broken down and saying

"Nah, never gonna happen..."

And on many occasions, I scoff at the crowd appealing for a penalty (I'm terribly grumpy at the footy) only to be pleasantly surprised when the ref blows up and point to the spot. Definately happened against Oldham in 93. QPR in 04 I think...

The gap of thirteen years between those relegations could suggest the devil might have had a hand in matters..

 

[wardlowwanderer]

In the Premiership against Charlton (I think) and the ball dropped to Gillespie and my mate said ' f***in hell here we go again' (as he had blasted several shots over the bar already) and he scored a scorcher which was (I think) the winner.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

I did it last week at White Hart Lane. Said to my spud supporting mate 'Bale has been utter wank", then about 5 seconds later he wangs in a 35 yard free kick,

 

[Kev Gee]

When Dean Saunders did this:-

As he picked the ball up my mate shouted "Throw it off t'keeper!"
My reply went something along the lines of "As though he's gonna do that, Kev, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss!"

Blades manager one day?

 

[Kev Gee]

Arsenal at home when Veart scored as they kicked off the match I said "we're never going to score with him up front".

Mind you at half time at the Leeds game I said we would win 2-1
When Jags scored I then went on to say we would get another in normal time.

Veart. whats he upto these days?

 

[Grecian2000]

my dad tapped on my shoulder saying "Richardson will save this" Wrong again!

I'll bet he never said that again.

On a smilar note, when Dangerous Derek made his debut the Friday before and had bugger all to do in an easy win (2-0 I think) I said on the way out "New goalie looks OK". WRONG, WRONG, WRONG . . . .

Relegation to League One? Call 1-800-DEANO.

Brian Deane took the ball off bruce grobbelaar "don't waist it deano" 1.44 mins in

 

[Silent Blade]

Richardson's debut was against Southend and , yes, it was 2-0

 

[axel smeets]

Just remembered this one, it was only 2 weeks ago! McDonald picks the ball up 25 yards out against Colchester. I said "Right McDonald, fucking do summat wi it nah". To which he promptly dispatched the ball in the back of the net from 20 yards.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

League cup vs Liverpool at the Lane in 2003. At 1-0 down in the 2nd half my uncle said: "we definitely need to change something - I'd bring Tonge off, he's offering us nothing..."

 

[oaklandrdblade]

Premier league against Shammers when the ball was played out to Stead on the right hand touchline, I turned to my brother and said "This is why we should have taken him off and have someone with more pace to run at them" Stead proceeded to run at thme and slot it nicely into the bottom corner.

 

[broomhillblade]

Fans are usually wrong (even though they think they're right).

That's why they are fans and not managers.
