..... I'll never be embarrassed winning a Derby and yeah pretty level headed I think!

Wouldn't disagree but I would be embarrassed if winning a game against a bottom of the league club is the highlight of last 40 years for any team.
When did you last actually win a game against a team to win something cos that's when you can gloat, Utd fans can think of a good few inc 1 or 2 against you lot.

Why not just admit and accept Utd are the bigger club with a much better fanbase, most of which have witnessed success in person and not by looking back at black and white photos whilst being preached at by great grandparents.
You lot have been in our shadow for decades, jealous, bitter and disillusioned with how your club is run. This is set to continue for another good while yet

You obviously were with that one, you even said so yourself as you well know! Is this another example of Dee revisionism in action?

Anyway, off ye pop and reminisce over the pictures of thon night in London for a legend keeper who helped put you in admin. For that, he’s a legend alright, a legend at Tannadice.

During the early 80's the derby started to get really boring it was like going to see the same film over and over again.It was a good film right enough but it always had the same ending.So much so that in September 1981 we left Dundee on Friday the 11th to drive to Monte Carlo for our away tie v AS Monaco.

The derby was played the following day at Tannadice with the usual ending again,Dundee United 5 Dundee 2,what was different was we then produced one of the best away results ever by a Scottish club on foreign soil,AS Monaco 2 Dundee United 5.

To put these results into perspective the Dees finished 4 points above the relegation spot BUT AS Monaco went onto win the French league title,FACT with a WASC.

Sad club with even sadder fans,
Truth is Funsters hoped for a new normal during our blip but couldn't take advantage and even with their supposed great squad couldn't beat us this season, but then Funsters only relate to their version of truth, facts and honesty.

Let me get that great nail and hammer it into the coffin that says back to normal and business as usual, which is us dominating this city and being the only ones bringing success.
All might I add whilst laughing at the ever new ways our wee sisters find to further embarrass themselves.

Speaking of hammers,nails and coffins,i wonder where they buried the casket so thoughtfully carried out of the Bowser on doon derby night?.

Sorry James I've done it again,
and wandered aff doon memory lane,
but when Peter appeared it had me thinking,
that for maist O the 80's the Dees were stinking.

OK, I will refer you to posts 59 and 60 of the League Reconstruction thread peter. Or are you ‘revising’ that as well now?
