Man U da Champions

Gosh! I was so preoccupied I forgot totally about Sunday games! Congrats Man U da Premiership Champions. Thank you Ronaldo & Giggs for making it 2-0 against Wigan. And I so am satisfied since Chelsea only managed to settle for a 1-1 draw with Bolton. Arrrgh! Ecstasy!!!! Now, Champions League - Game On.
Sir Alex Ferguson
I envy this guy. Man U topped EPL 10 times under his charge. How did he manage to spot resources & motivate the ballerz to become the football powerhouse of Britain. His achievements:
1992-93: Won last 7 games to finish 10 points clear of Villa
1993-94: Bought Roy Keane from Forest for £3.75 m. Beat Soton to retain title.
1995-96: Cantona returned from suspension, chased down Newcastle's 12 point lead, winning by 4 points.
1996-97: Went top in January after 5 straight wins. Cantona ended career.
1998-99: Most successful season - the Treble. League, FA Cup & Champions League (beat Bayern Munich).
2000-01: First manager to win title 3 years running. After beating Arsenal in Feb, Man U were 16 points clear with 10 games to go.
2002-03: Unbeaten 10-game spell overtook Arsenal's 10 point lead.
2006-07: Hard fought with Chelsea. Victories against Man C & Everton brought the cup back to Man U.
2007-08: 10th title. With Giggs equalling Charlton's record of 758 caps for Man U + scoring as well
