Some of my old newspaper bosses liked to say what we produced (tomorrow's fish 'n' chip wrappers) was the first draft of history. For what it's worth, ...

And I’m proud of the countless thousands of supporters who made the long trip south, with or without a match ticket. A sense that we’ve been sub-standard in most games since the World Cup hiatus was not a misconception. This was certainly no walk in the park for the team who had gone trophyless for an unbelievable six years. Rashford’s shinner of a shot, or was it a cross, was trundling well wide of the far post before our Dutch defender’s deflection. The corner count was equal, while Man Utd collected six yellow cards to our three. The free-kick by Shaw, awarded for a foolish foul on Rashford, was delivered superbly and gave Karius almost no opportunity to come out and claim the ball.
