Make no mistake this was a revenge match, everyone from the trainer to the ball boys knew we wuzz robbed at Ye Olde Trafford. The crowd was up for it, as was the team, the fact it didn’t go according to the script didn’t matter. The fact they scored first and we scored the winner in the dying minutes made it even better. True Roy of the Rovers would have scored in the very dying seconds of the game, not even allowing a parsimonious two minutes for a possible Neville comeback, but two minutes was no chance at all. The Arsenal crowd celebrated long and loud after the match  

Bliss it was that early Sunday evening kick off to be alive
But to be young was very heaven.
