There was an article in the Guardian about United going into the final day of the 67/78 season needing a win to hold off City (who were level on points). We lost to Sunderland at Old Trafford 0-2 whilst City beat Newcastle 4-3, thus giving them the title. We ended up in the European Cup final and won that (thus overshadowing City's bit of glory

).
Anyway, it got me thinking of Premiership seasons where United were involved with the title on the line in the final day of the season. Here's what I came up with.
94/95 – Went into the last game trailing Blackburn by 2 points, but we had a superior goal difference. Blackburn lost at Anfield, but we could only draw against West Ham (how we didn't get a winner in that last fifteen minutes, I'll never know). We finished 1 point behind Blackburn.
95/96 – Went into the last game ahead of Newcastle by 2 points and only needing a draw to win the title. We beat Boro 3-0 to make Newcastle’s final result irrelevant.
98/99 – Went into the final day 1 point ahead of Arsenal with only a goal or two separating them on goal difference. United defeated Tottenham 2-1 at Old Trafford to render Arsenal’s result irrelevant.
I don't know about you guys, but I was pretty confident of getting a result in 95/96 and 98/99. I'm pretty edgy about the game against Wigan. Since we never do things the easy way, I reckon we'll be down a goal at half-time.....and buggered if I know what'll happen in the 2nd half.
