Imagine if all the kids tested positive, and they were reduced to sending their first team.
In 1972 we saw greats like Bobby Moore, Clyde Best, "Pop" Robson, Martin Peters, etc. grace EP.
In 1996/7, Julian Dicks, the magnificent Ian Dowie, Matt le Tissier, Ravanelli, etc, etc.
Not so this time. I think Fergie started the rot years ago when he fielded his "A" team in a league cup came. They won 3-0 so he felt vindicated and escaped any punishment.
The FA Cup deserves more respect from greedy league clubs, but I'm still looking forward to it. If only we had the 12th man...
