It’s a sad sad day when we’re having to report on things that happened 8 or 9 years ago in what ultimately will be a vain attempt to try and make people see the truth.

That’s not a bitch at the blog whatsoever – we at Stretford-End.com occasionally have almost exactly the same problem though I don’t think I would have the energy or patience to try and educate non-United supporting morons on a United fansite.

Though on the subject of this it’s worth saying as well we had a great deal of pressure from the Mirror who insisted they were going to back us too, everything was going to be rosy, and when we didn’t enter the FA Cup they changed their tune completely.

In the end this is up there with those stupid anti-United fallacies that exist. The latest one being the “Giggs didn’t deserve the PFA award” and the constant mocking of it despite no real argument against it aside from the fact the votes are cast early in the season. Like every season.

Oh and not forgetting the Guardian starting an “injury time at Old Trafford” campaign. Apparently when we are winning there’s an average of 191 seconds injury time. When we’re not, it’s an average of 257 seconds. Layman’s terms, an average of 2 minutes to 3 1/2. Of course it doesn’t really sound like a great deal of difference but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt..

… doesn’t seem to mention the time-wasting that visiting teams do though..
