I just wanted to say well done to those plucky little guys at Old Trafford! Everyone else was predicting an absolute drubbing for the Ole's men and even United's own Board had written the game off, according to the grapevine. "But no", I cried, a single lone voice in the wilderness, "a giant-killing is never impossible! Look at Walsall v Arsenal, Yeovil v Sunderland, Colchester v Leeds, Hereford v Newcastle, and Chelsea v Bradford. I'm convinced The Rags v The Dippers is going to be next!"
And it so nearly was....United came breathtakingly close to winning their very own cup final against one of the important teams. Congratulations to OGS. Let's hope Mr Ed has the sense to reward him with a permanent contract so that he dies while still in office at some point in the dim and distant future. By that time the fans can lick their lips at the prospect of slogging out derby battles with their rivals in the Manchester League, and clashes with the likes of Wilmslow Albion, Styal, Hindley Juniors and Tintwhistle Athletic Reserves are sure to be a sell-out. At least the inimitable Pogba will still be there, earning half a billion a week, or whatever it is.
Hearty congratulations once again to The Rags! Let's hear it now.....Hip, Hip....
