Arthur Albiston was a full-back for United for over ten years, from 1974-88.He played in four FA Cup finals winning three winners' medals, in 77, 83, and 85 which was a club record at the time (equalled by Mark Hughes ) Often described as an unsung hero he was a solid reliable player in the Denis Irwin mould who gave consistent performances every time.Only 5 players have more appearances for United than Albiston.

Home of hated rivals Liverpool, this stadium looks a bit duff as none of the four sides seem to match in anyway.Its all bits and pieces and does'nt seem to have any design or idea behind it whatsoever.The old Kop stand, the symbol of Liverpool's 80s dominance which 30,000 Scousers used to piss down, is long gone, as is ironically the days of Liverpool being a top side. United have always done well at Anfield and there's no reason why they won't continue to do so.

Appearing from nowhere in 1998 to mess up United's season, the 1999 Treble put the Arse firmly back in their place and reinstated United as the best in England once again.There is something contemptable about  a pack of supporters who take huge pleasure in seeing their team win by the smallest most boring margin possible, one bleeding nil. Most fans like to see their team win 5- 0 or an exciting 4- 3, but not the Gooners, it takes a certain type of person to like Arsenal, boring gits are drawn to Arsenal like flies around donkey excrement.They have virtually no fans outside of London, because lets face it, they hardly stir fans imagination like the mighty United.

Arsenal FC have been boring the crap out of people for so long the boringness has become genetic, for no-matter who the players or the manager, Arsenal still end up with the same old one-nil mentality.Their single only redeeming feature is that last minute League title win over Liverpool in 1989 (and only then because we hate the scouse rubbish even more)

Ron Atkinson, United manager from 1981- 86 would probably have been considered sucessful by most clubs, winning the FA Cup in 1983 and 1985, however United are not most clubs and eventually he paid for not delivering the illusive League title.Big Ron was a flash character, loud, outspoken and with bags of jewellery, the fans loved him....for a while. United were consistently 3rd or 4th each season but after a super 10 game winning start to the 1985-86 season United seemed certain to finally win the League, but they faded out (as usually happened) and finished 4th.His managerial plans were never helped by the injuries to captain Bryan Robson,whom without United often struggled.

Fans lost patience with Big Ron as United slumped to 19th in the table in November 1986, however it was still a surprise when he was sacked and Fergie appointed his successor. Atkinson bought his share of dogey players in his time such as Brazil and Davenport but talents like Robson, Stapleton,Hughes, Whiteside meant his United teams were still quality outfits, who played entertaining football and, who with a bit of luck just might have been champions. Atkinson's cup success's at United and later Aston Villa/Sheffield Wednesday, illustrate that he was more of a cup competition specialist than a league championship campaigner.
