Great preview Emma and merry Christmas. Even to your Red husband. Only been to OT once myself and it was a 5-1 defeat immediately after Gullit was sacked. Andy Cole with four. Terrible all round.
It’s never one we ever looked forward to (though these days, it’s not quite so terrifying) but with a few of their lot away to AFCON and Fernandes missing, I’m fairly confident of at least a draw (the best result I’ve witnessed at OT - Andy Cole getting his (and our) first EPL goal).
Hope your other half is sick as a pig come 10pm on Boxing Day, Emma.
Wow, Emma. Love your style. From the very first sentence... proverbial piss in your Baileys indeed. Which reminds me, I'm doing the Christmas groceries this morning; I will add Baileys to my list. Thankyou.
My only memory of Old Trafford was actually not that bad. 1993, We'd just been promoted. Paul Ince put them one up, but WOR Andy Cole got the ball and scored a goal to make it spaniards (Juan - Juan). Seems like a lifetime ago...
Thank you Emma. It's a lovely article. I've only been to OT once and that was in 1972 when we won and Tony Green made George Best look clumsy. However, until recently it hasn't been a fixture that I look forward to. However, it's not so daunting these days and it's to be hoped that we come away with at least a point.
I was at that 6-0. Owen flagged wrongly offside in the first half then an absolute battering in the second. I'm strangely optimistic though. They're honestly not up to much. Neither are we like
As I've posted elsewhere - get ready for radio, tv and other media commentary and reportage calling one team on the pitch "United" and the other "Newcastle" . . .

Thanks Emma. Been there several times myself nothing but misery.
Who knows?

Aaw Mark. Your last remark is hardly charitable. Where is your Christmas cheer?
Mind, I was thinking exactly the same myself 🤣🤣🤣
I WAS being charitable, Mik 😁

I hope to see more of your writing.
