Bertie Mee said to Matt Busby
Bertie Mee said to Matt Busby,
"Have you heard of the North Bank, Highbury?",
"No" said Matt, "You cockney twat",
"But I've heard of the Stretford Enders!"

Best Behaved Supporters
We're the best behaved supporters in the land,
We're the best behaved supporters in the land,
We're the best behaved supporters, best behaved supporters,
Best behaved supporters in the land (when we win!)

We're a right bunch of bastards when we lose,
We're a right bunch of bastards when we lose,
We're a right bunch of bastards, right bunch of bastards,
Right bunch of bastards when we lose.

Those Were The Days
Those were the days my friend,
We thought they would never end,
We'd sing and dance,
Forever and a day.

We'll live the life we chose,
We'll fight and never lose
'Cos were the Stret,
We are the Stretford End.

We are the Stretford End,
We are the Stretford End,
We are the Stret,
We are the Stretford End....

Sir Alex Ferguson Quotes

"We have people coming here to admire the scenery and enjoy their crisps."

"When an Italian tells me its pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen."

"Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way."

"Go and make your mistakes in the first team. You'll learn more in a month in the first team than you will in two years in the reserves."

"You can't applaud a referee."

Sir Matt Busby Quotes

"It was a very simple team talk. All I used to say was 'Whenever possible, give the ball to George'"

"Nobby Stiles a dirty player? No, he's never hurt anyone. Mind you, he's frightened a few!"

"He (George Best) was able to use either foot - sometimes he seemed to have six."

"I never wanted Manchester United to be second to anybody. Only the best would be good enough."

“In all modesty, my summing up of 1955-6 and 1956-7 must be that no club in the country could live with Manchester United.”

"He (Bobby Charlton) was idolized from his twentieth year on."

"If you don't put them in, you can't know what you've got."

"Germany was one thing and facing Old Trafford another. When I approached the ground and moved over the bridge along which our supporters had squeezed fifty abreast in there tens of thousands to shout for us I could scarcely bear to look. I new the ghosts of the babes would still be there, and there they are still, and they will always be there as long as those who saw them still cross the bridge, young, gay, red ghosts on the green grass of Old Trafford."

"Over the years people called several players the new Duncan Edwards. First Dave Mackay, then Bryan Robson. But none of them came close. He was the only player that made me feel inferior."

"I do not worry about conceding goals because I know my forwards will double it at the other end."

"Manchester is my Heaven."

The 60's original went like this.

Bertie Mee said to Don Revie
have heard of the north bank Highbury
no said Don I dont think so
but ive heard of the Stretford Enders

No problem with the "new" one, but Reds back then would not have put twat and sir Matt in the same chant, he would have frowned upon it wouldnt he?

Howdy! First of all I would like to remark the fact that you really have built a magnificent website. Also I want to know one thing. Have you ever taken place in some competitions among online blogs?
