Must Read You came to us in 86 2nd to bottom of the league, well and truly in the sh!t A 4-1 loss at the Dell as we hit a new low ,The curtain swiftly brought down on the Bojangles show A slow start at Oxford, we thought we were witnessing much of the same But at least we stayed up and got better game by game Then followed 3 barren years and a trophy we were without The mocking banners and the hounding press screaming Alex “You’re out!” A tricky cup tie at Forest and rumours of Fergie’s impending exit abound But Mark Robins stooped with a header and suddenly we’re in the 4th round A first trophy lifted by Robbo at Wembley made us believe Who could have imagined what we would go on to achieve So we were back in Europe after an English team ban And at the first attempt, we beat the mighty Barca in Rotterdam In 92 the holy grail was firmly in sight But we lost at Upton Park and Anfield and we cried long into the night In 93 Eric the King rose to throne And after 26 long years the title finally came home The challenge of Europe, could we repeat our victory from years ago after Sir Matt had resurrected us from the depths of the Munich snow In 99, the treble, the impossible dream had never been done The FA Cup, Premier League and European Cup, surely they couldn’t all be won? Time ticked away at Camp Nou, it’s not to be, oh well But up popped Teddy and Ole in injury time and what can you say….”football bloody ‘ell” 50 years on from Munich, the European cup was our destiny And we triumphed in Moscow, backed by the loyal Red Army The noisy neighbours briefly cast a shadow, they said this was the end of our era So the following season we went and reclaimed the title in April, could the margin of victory have been any clearer? We are 20 x Champions so you have not left us in the lurch You kept to your promise and knocked the scousers off their fckin perch Thanks for all the memories, Fergie – boy have you made us proud #ThankYouSirAlex.,
