Overcoming one of the best Arsenal sides in recent memory (Double winners no less) on the last day of the season to win the League. Beating Juve in their own back yard and never giving in against Bayern in the final. Its the character of that side which I admire most, not just the number of wins/losses or goals for/against.

And at the end of the day you can't agrue against Beckham\Keane\Scholes\Giggs!
true...but im saying thats what they have to do as a minimum to start the comparisons.

Never giving in against bayern without scholes and keane it should be noted!

"can manchester utd score?......They ALWAYS score...... " clive knows.
