As it was foretold, so it came to pass. On the 20th October 1996 at St James' Park the forces of good and evil clashed. Defending all that is true and sacred were Newcastle Utd and their manager Kevin Keegan, the messiah of entertaining, positive football. Ranged against them were a team packed with some of the most notorious footballers ever to play in the Premier League, lead by that evil incarnate, Kung-Fu Cantona.

The result? In front of an estimated 1 billion viewers, Man U were run ragged in the first half by a Daveeed Ginola returned to his mesmeric form of last season. Ferguson's men trooped of the pitch at half time trailing to goals from Darren Peacock and Daveeed Ginola . But this was only the cue for a second half massacre with goals from England's finest striking partnership Alan Shearer (who turned down the chance to join MU in the summer) and Les Ferdinand . All topped off with a masterful chip from Belgian Phillipe Albert which left an embarrased Peter Schmeichel looking on in disbelief.
Manchester Utd's response to Newcastle's demonstration of football the way it should be played? 5 yellow cards tells the story of their negative reaction. Cantona was lucky to stay on the field with his cynical late kicking, Poborsky merited a BAFTA award for his dive over Pav, and they even took advantage of an injury to Beardsley (inflicted by guess which Frenchman) by not returning the ball from a throw. My endearing memory from the match is the glorious view of Batty with his hand around Butt's throat.
The after match reactions told their own story. Kevin Keegan said, "I enjoyed it more than any other day as a manager. I've got to say that because this is no ordinary team we've beaten. Considering the opposition, considering what happened last season and considering the Charity Shield it has to be. I told the players to give our fans a day to remember and they did. You can make all the excuses in the world if you're the opposing manager but we did deserve to win it."
And sure enough, the opposing manager had plenty of excuses. All Alex Ferguson could do was complain about refereeing decisions, having to play 3 games in one week etc. Any compliments for Newcastle's performance. No chance, not when its Alex Ferguson.

John Motson interviews Alex Ferguson after MU are thrashed 5-0 by Newcastle Utd

John Mottson: So Alex, ha, not the result you would've anticipated? Ferguson: Look I canna say tha we didna come hereto win. Players like Keen and Butt, they're winners, yer canna change 'em.
Motty: But you didn't win today?
Fergie: Well tha'sa mattra oppinion.
Motty: Hurrr, well in the refs opinion,the score was ....
Fergie: Let's looka the refs. Where was the injury time, we looked li we cud win it, aye.
Motty: But you can't take anything away from Keegan's men, surely.
Fergie: Teams like Newcastle they're cheatin' their manager. They're cheats, aye. They up their game aginst United y'see ma point?
Motty: Errr, not really. Nooooo.
Fergie: Och, teams li Newcastle, they n'er relly carve yer open.
Motty: Ha, well er, you might say that but the truth is ha, they smashed five past you.
Fergie: Tha's a mattra opinion, yer must remember we hadda play in red today. The players couldna see eachother.
Motty: er, you did have a full strength side out.
Fergie: Yer gotta understan', we've nair relly recovered our full side from Munich 58.
Motty: Hurrr, if I can say so, Alex, who was missing?
Fergie: Paul Parker's a fantastic player.
Motty: That might be the case, but, hurrr, he's no longer on the books.
Fergie: Och, Andy Cole bein' injured is a huge blow for him an' a huge blow for this club.
Motty: If I can just quote some statistics at you, ha, his record would suggest not. In point of fact,ha, Andy Cole has never scored on the seventh day of the tenth month or for that matter...
Fergie: Alright then. The truth is I told the lads notta score cos I'm sicka Brian Kidd stickin' his tongue down me throat.

[Back in the studio with Des Lynam]
Des: Fergie thinks he's been skanked, from what we've seen, the Mancs .... Got spanked. Goodnight.

These little clubs like beating Man Utd. It's understandable that the fans of these smaller clubs celebrate victories that occured nine years ago like as if they'd actually won a cup.

Which is ironic since 90% of their fans can't recall a time when they actually won a cup
