On this day...

Just looking at nufc.com, their 'on this day' feature makes for some interesting reading for recent history:

 

1997 - Ketsbaia equalises in Zagreb to send us through to the group stages of the Champions League (Tino, Barcelona etc etc) for the first time.

 

2003 - Six years later we go out at the same stage on penalties to another team from former Yugoslavia, Partisan Belgrade, the beginning of the end of our return to the top of the PL.

 

2004 - Rooney hands in transfer request after our ambitious but ultimately ludicrous attempt to sign him (was always, ALWAYS going to go to Man Utd after Euro 2004), epitomising our cack handed attempts at preparing for the following season which culminated in Bobby being sacked a few games in.

 

2008 - Milner hands in transfer request, Keegan makes ominous remarks in interviews...

 

If anything it just highlights what an utter bollocks we have made of our pre/early season which has sabotaged the rest of the year in recent years. What will this year bring?
