There’s a little bit Frank O’Farrell’s last game as United manager about this. That was here, against Crystal Palace, in December 1972. Palace won 5-0.

So much to detest about football in 2024, but then you get a match like that seven-goal FA Cup QF at Old Trafford. Glorious chaos. Wonderful spirit. Fabulous mix of refined skills and human fallibility. Last-gasp drama. A neutral’s thanks to both teams.

Very clever — the German ad says 'protect wildlife before it's too late.'

I don't know or care if I've already shared this on here.
