Terrace Talk: Man United: Mark Saturday as another Selhurst ‘moment’

United fans have mixed emotions when it comes to Selhurst Park.

There have been moments of wonder — such as Beckham’s goal from halfway, or key matches on the way to titles and Cups in 1993 and 1994. And then there have been some awful traumas — primarily the 1995 Kung Fu incident, and O’Farrell’s last stand in 1972.

Mainly, though, it’s simply thought of as a pig of a place to get to, often topping polls as Least Favourite Awayday. And let’s face it: it’s not a part of suburban-swamp London anyone dreams of visiting at the best of times, despite the surprising vocal prowess of the modern Eagles’ crowd.
