Not so sure about that bigmick, they have stumbled a few times in recent months, but what - two league defeats and a defeat on penalties to the bitters?
But here's the mac daddy of all stats for the mancs, the media built up a possible title challenge revival after their Fulham defeat, but they won 21 of their last 25 league games. The only game they lost in the CL was the final and the only other cup games they lost were the UEFA Super Cup final and to Derby in the League Cup semi. I'm not sure we were that big an influence, I think fergie's tactics in the final and Barcelona's sheer class were 95% of the cause.
And as I've said before, which of their 99 and 08 finals was convincing? If you take their results against the top four in England plus Barcelona (Champions of Spain) and Inter (Champions of Italy), their record is P11 W4 D3 L4 which is far from convincing. The only away win in there was over ordinary Arsenal in the CL, the rest were home wins. We won four times against teams in the top four in eight games with only one defeat (Chelsea, CL)
