me when The Club do another win

Belga Sport yesterday showcased one of the biggest comebacks in European club football.

The year is 1993 and Anderlecht are in the Champions League group stage alongside Werder Bremen, Porto and Milan. In the away game in Bremen, Anderlecht couldn't start any better. Being 0-2 up with less than 15 minutes played they go into halftime leading 0-3.

What happens 20 minutes before the full time whistle is Bremen profiting of lapses in concentration from Anderlecht and completely turning the game around, final score: 5-3 for Bremen

The game has become so iconic for Werder that in their museum there is one television playing this match 24/7.

United fan met Giggs when he was a young lad, then meets him again with his own sprog in tow. :3:

Does Giggs always take pictures with fans while he's in a car? Looks like he took a page out of Harry Redknapp's book.

Well they tend to stop for fans for autographs/photos on the way in/out of The Cliff/Carrington so it's pretty normal for them to be in their motors.

Makes sense. In America it's usually just the paparazzi that's interested in celebrities in cars.

I think the perception is that he doesn't even look like he's trying. He was pretty woeful against Swansea, it wasn't even a case of doing everything but scoring, he was just poo poo. Contrast with Michu who despite being isolated for most of the match, he scored and was involved in a lot of link up play.

Well this maybe proves that the old story about all United fans being from the Home Counties and all City fans being from Manchester is in fact bollocks:



Some bright spark has used geotagged tweets to work out where football fans are based...probably not that useful, but what the hell.

I'd imagine that much blue is largely down to tweets when Aguero scored the league winning goal as well. Must have caused a huge spike
