I blame Thatcher...

[Darren]

Seriously.

Look at it this way. Until May 1979 United had never been out of the top two divisions and had spent 55 out of their 79 league seasons in the top division.

On Friday 4th May 1979 Thatcher became PM. On Saturday 5th May 1979, United lost at Cambridge and were effectively relegated to the third division. In the subsequent 34 seasons we have spent 5 in the top tier and 8 in the bottom two tiers.

A coincidence? I think not....

yes. he was a cnut alright.

 

[Darren]

yes. he was a cnut alright.

I think you will find Cnut was King of England from 1016-1035 and, as far as I am aware, has had no influence on United's misfortunes.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

The one thing that Thatcher and United had in common was that they were always looking for strikers.

Well at least it's a change from blaming Paulo. Everyone else is.

Until 2006, United had never been won anything or been promoted under a Labour government. They broke that duck that year, so you can't blame them any more I am afraid.

On May 5th 1934 Sheffield United lost 2-0 at Highbury and were relegated to the Second Division for the first time ever after 42 years in the top flight. The same day Woman Haters starring the Three Stooges was released in cinemas.

It's clear that the ones behind the plight of this great football club are Larry, Curly, and Moe.

I think we can all accept that the government of 97-10 was only a labour government in name only...

I Wanna Be the Only One by Eternal went to #1 in the UK chart on 25th May 1997 - the day before we lost to Crystal Palace in the First Division play-off Final.

A coincidence? I think not....

United have never been promoted with a manager with the same surname as a former Labour Prime Minister.

A coincidence? I think not.
