Fleetwood Town, from the fourth-tier? Seriously?

18th place there...at least when United lost to that same level last year they were top 4 in league 2!!!! LOL. Unless you're the giant getting slayed these giant killer matches are so great and even more so when they big boys play in these little hometown pitches. FA Cup and Carabo always provide a few a year.

My son played high school soccer and was a big Man U fan, when they were in their heyday under Sir Alex, featuring players like Rooney, Giggs, Scholes, Ronaldo etc. Seems like the club has fallen on hard times since his departure.

I just now, at the halftime show, saw the replay. Sure looked like a red card to me. The Nevilles: “It looked worse than it was,” fwiw.
