Iain in 1999, United were in a Champions league final, winning it with a flukey late goal. City were in a division 3 play off final getting through with a well timed and perfect late goal. Forward wind 13 years and United consider it a huge succsess to beat little City to the title having been kicked out of all cups and humiliated in Europe, ultimatly by an average side. City have played the best football of the season, have lead for most of it, have never been out the top 4 and managed by a quirk of fate to not qualify for Europe DESPITE getting 10 points and will finish in their best possition for a generation. United on the way down...City on the way up. Simple as that.:w00t:
