these articles and publish it. You're style is very lucid and absorbing....or better still write a book and pass down your tremendous knowledge and experience of How To Be a True Red through all the myriad times, in victory and defeat, in glory and in tragedy. I'm sure a few of our so called fans who keep slagging off our own players who have been more active on here lately will have plenty to learn from your writings In fact All True REDS can learn a lot from those because the younger ones over the last 25 odd years have grown up spoilt with trophies and do not truly appreciate the exciting times that we live in. You raise an excellent point about how spoiled we have become as United fans, especially the younger generation.... In a way we have been blessed mainly due to the genius that is Sir Alex. I still recall the times during the late 70?s and 80?s when our season would be defined on how far we got in the FA cup or how well we did against the dippers in the head to head clashes..... I do wonder at times as to some of the so called fans of today and think to my self, how many would have lasted the course! Cheers mate...although I belong to the younger lot myself, when I see Sir Alex constantly reminding us about the history of Manchester United, about the babes and the depressing times that followed
