Just Another Trophy, I think not!!

Much has been written and yet to be written about our 18th championship, whether it's called Division 1 or The Premiership we are now level with another team from the 80's. To put this into perspective I've copied an article that was written by an ex-pat Red who now lives in Oz. For me it sums up the significance of this particular win and although it seems a long time ago now the phrase comes to mind that "time fly's when you're having fun".

To understand the significance of what this weekend could mean not just to Manchester United but also Liverpool it is necessary to go back to 1994 and a freezing January night on Merseyside. Alex Ferguson's team were playing at Anfield for the first time since ending their 26-year wait for the league title and the Kop was ready for them. "Come back and sing 'Ooh Aah Cantona' when you've won 18," read the banner It'll be a pleasure!
