--------------------------------- [25] pre-match anthem --------------------------------- Posted Monday, April 8, 2002 by bar-knee: Those of you following progress on the forum will know that a pre-kick off anthem for home games has been suggested with many Reds fancying The Red Flag. The club may even play it before kick off on Wednesday - so get these words printed off, and copy them off to mates...basically spread the word. United's flag is deepest red, It shrouded all our Munich dead, Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, Their heart's blood dyed it's ev'ry fold. Then raise United's banner high, Beneath it's shade we'll live and die, So keep the faith and never fear, We'll keep the Red Flag flying here. We'll never die, we'll never die, We'll never die, we'll never die, We'll keep the Red flag flying high, 'Cos Man United will never die --------------------------------- [24] Another new song --------------------------------- Posted Monday, April 8, 2002 by bar-knee: doing the rounds in a few Utd pubs, and inspired by Jon 'We'll win the european cup, and knock the scousers out...' tune down by the riversde --------------------------------- [23] news is a bit slow today --------------------------------- Posted Monday, April 8, 2002 by bar-knee: so this Becks story makes the PA newsdesk 'David Beckham has reportedly spent £150,000 on a heavily-armoured Mercedes that can withstand gunfire.

The winger unveiled a poster close to Old Trafford showing two handprints and a footprint of a boy who had a leg blown off by a landmine. The poster is one of hundreds going on display across the country. Giggs, who has visited Unicef projects in Thailand, said: "As a footballer I can't imagine life without the use of one of my legs. "Sadly this is exactly what happens to thousands of children every year when they accidentally step on a landmine. "It often occurs when they are out playing in the fields and before they know it their lives are in tatters." The billboard poster is of the prints of Candilo, a nine-year-old Angolan child, who last year had his leg blown off by a landmine. The youngster was trying to keep up with his older brother as they raced home and he trod on a mine. Unicef runs education programmes for children and communities on how to avoid landmines as well as providing physiotherapy and prosthetic limbs to those who have survived accidents. A Unicef spokesman said every day 26 children tread on landmines in wartorn areas across the world. People who want to support the campaign can get more information on the Unicef web site at www.unicef.org.uk. ---------------------------------------------------------- This email has been filtered for swear words which cause some email systems to block messages. ----------------------------------------------------------
