I must open a window because I can smell urine again......[/quote]The point you made, which I correctly refuted, was that we beat the Busby Babes. No, we did not. After the Munich disaster Matt Busby brought in players like Ernie Taylor who was already in his mid 40''s. It took four or five seasons before Matt Busby built Manchester United back to a title contender, primarily by bringing in players from other clubs such as Dennis Law. Like I said, speak not of which you know not.Now, if you are still smelling urine, I suggest you either take a shower or stop shaking hands so gleefully with your fellow Purists.
