Is our current manager manager under 32 years old?... Blimey, that's the first I've heard of it. You'd think it would get a passing mention in the media.

Definitely, definitely the first team after Leicester City to reach the FA Cup Final and be relegated. I've heard that a lot recently.

First to offer interest-free loans for season tickets? First to offer travel as part of the match ticket?

(I'm not sure, hence phrasing them as questions).

A pedant would also point out that in reality, the new Millenium started on 1 Jan 2001.

Weirdly enough derby County are laying claim to 'first goal of the millenium' as well.
