United/Chelsea games I've never found particularly entertaining. There's no history to the contests.
Thats right on the money.

Spurs v Man Utd used to be viewed as the big north vs south clash - until Man Utd became far too good for us. Even though Liverpool and Arsenal were often higher in the league, the Spurs/Utd clashes were the ones everyone looked forward too.

United 's away support was massive when coming down to WHL too.

****ing hell that was a great match. Had everything.


Dare I say EPIC!

Keane sent off, Schmeichel saves a Bergkamp penalty at the death and then with United hanging on for a shootout up step Sir Ryan Giggs to turn Arsenal inside out.

One of my favourite bits of that was Anelka's offside goal. They celebrate for about five minutes then you see Anelka jogging back to position with the smuggest grin imagineable plastered over his dial... then you see when he twigs the goal hasn't stood. It's like that bit in the Simpsons where Bart pauses the tape "you can see the exact moment when his heart breaks... look!"

Also yer man running onto the pitch with his crap 'Now For The Treble' banner :D
