Really thought Djemba-Djemba wouldn't have looked out of place in a Conference level team.

It's a reminder that the squad, while "weakened", should still have had easily enough in the tank to dispose of us without any fuss.

Re: Djemba-Djemba, the telling thing I remember was the Man United side being read out over the Tannoy in the replay.

Tannoy: "Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Us: "Oh no."

Tannoy: "Wayne Rooney!"

Us: Flippin' heck.

Tannoy: "Ryan Giggs!"

Us: ****

Tannoy: "Paul Scholes!"

Us: I want my Mummy!

Tannoy: "Eric Djemba-Djemba!"

Us: HOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Decent Man U subs that day!

Any article which has a youtube clip of that Hiley nutmeg is a winner.

Need one for the Exeter side that day now.
