I doubt it. I don't think this season was a fluke at all, but I'm sure we'll lose games next season. Probably the first game!

But haven't you always been better than us? Don't tell me you found a cure for the dreaded ManYoo strain of Alzheimer's! ;-)

True. But in that time the famous back line was breaking up and he was restructuring the team.

No, but 5 major tropies in 8 years does. Particularly when you're up against the "might" of clubs (including Chelsea now) with way in excess of your spending power.
We are still fighting an uphill battle at the moment, and doing pretty darn well. When the new stadium is ready and the funding increases, and the playing field is levelled considerably, it should be easier and more regular.

Even harder when everyone wants to end your unbeaten run as well as beat the champions!
Of course, but for our spectacular collapse last season (everyone knows that you didn't take the trophy back, we pretty much handed it to you), we would now have had the trophy for 3 seasons. Look at it that way, and your win last season was a fluke.
I wouldn't bet against us retaining it next year. That's not to say that we will retain it, just that it's more likely than previous seasons.
And when we don't win, we are at least 2nd! ;-p
I'm sure next season will be a battle yet again. But if any of the rumours regarding comings and goings at United prove to be true, it'll be between Arsenal and Chelsea! :-) Erm... again...?!

2-0 down and 2-2 half time I seem to remember.
If Kanoute hadn't stopped when clean through, you wouldn't be laughing now.
Oh Kanoute you baloon!

That's really pushing it. While Arsenal are good, yes, they're not invincible. Manchester United did beat them in the F.A. Cup, Chelsea in the Champions League and just last week against Leicester City, they were losing and have been behind in matches a few times this season. I highly, highly doubt Arsenal can keep going unbeaten during the rest of next season, let alone the one after that.

This point just aint valid. Fergie turned around a club which hadnt won the league in 20 odd years while wenger took over a club which won the championship 5 years prior to him joining.
Sure, wenger won the double in his second season, but it then took him 4 seasons to win anything again! 4 years of nothing but dust in the trophy cabinet!
Single seasons dont mean anything in the bigger picture. Liverpool finished 5th in '81 after winning successive titles but then went on to win it 3 times in a row!
Defending the title is much harder than winning it the first time, as i'm sure Wenger will agree with!

I wouldn't bet against them with the team spirit they got.

He left Aberdeen in 86 to take the job and won the FA Cup in 1990. So that would be 4 years.

It's only because we won it with 4 games to go. Had another win been absolutely necessary to get the title, we'd have had 93 points... or more!
But we have to leave you with something. We've taken so much from you.
It's better chipping away at you a few records at a time, dragging out the agony. :-) You know we'll have them all eventually!

So by my reckoning, we're doing a pretty storming job. When the new stadium is completed and we can compete financially too...
Oof, there's a scary thought for you! ;-)

Even so, that was said after united won the (20 team)premiership with a record 91 points. 1 point more so than arsenal this year :p
