    I know. The only conclusion I could logically come to was that it had been taken down to make space for the Munich tributes that are all across it....

    No...It has to due with SEF, They own the rights to the banners and decide what banners go up for the matches. Something on those lines.

    The 20LEGEND Banner was Removed by SEF before the City game as was the Ciy ticker (on request from the club) All Banners up for the berties were to do with Manchester or the Babes 'Cept that bastard F.E.A.R Banner muck:mad:

    SEF dont own the 'rights' to the banners they are "for the fans, by the fans" although some would disagree . SEF does decide what goes up and what doesn't although MUFC have requested a banner be withdrawn .



    The 20Legend banner should be back up for Bolton.

    This should be a sticky for years to come. There hasn't been a player who has shown such dedication, professionalism, whatever to the red shirt as Ole over the past 13 years. He had the chance to join Spurs, go into Europe, etc time and time again, yet he chose to be a squaddie at Manchester United, because he respected and loved this club. He is a model for any footballer who wants to be part of our team, and that's why this thread is sticked and should be forever.

    I'm biased, because he is head and shoulders my favorite playerto ever don the red shirt. But this man was a f**kin legend at this club, and he did it the right way. If I'm being honest, he nearly brings me to tears every time I see old clips of him. I can't think of a player who's brought me more joy, more smiles, more happiness every time I see him score or see old clips of him doing so. He epitomizes every think modern footballers aren't - he's old school, he's a f**Kin absolute legend, and I really do miss him.

    Completely agree, but still why a sticky;)

    In a few years assuming they stay, Oshea and Fletcher could be the same:p

    I just watched a PL Archive on FSC and it was Nottingham Forest vs United in '99. We won 8-1 and Ole scored 4 goals, it was a good game to watch:p

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry when Isra tries to be witty.

    Just cringe - it's the most natural of the bunch whenever you look to the side of a post and see 'israbeckham' with 'fergalicious fergie' below it.

    I know he's trying. Is he just too old to make the leap or should we hold out hope that he'll become witty and clever?

    Yeah, there's not going to be any Benni-esque 'development curve' there at this stage.
