Absolutely brilliant read, can't believe they've not edited some of the terminology you've used! Agree with all the points, possibly could have factored in Summer 2013 as they had just won the league comfortably, had signed Van Persie a year earlier whilst we weakened but everything we did right that summer,they did wrong.

Great read, brought back some wonderful memories. I'd even argue that the year before the 1-6 (Rooney shinner) was a hugely significant as it was the first time in ages that we'd gone to their place and outplayed them for large parts of the game rather than hang on and hope for a goal on the break.

But can't argue with the 7 you have chosen.

Toma, I am not sure there are words to describe that excellent article as you have used all the good ones.
Brillaint read and one that I will go back to again later tonight. It sums everything up.

If you ever get a comment from a Rag please share it.

Hahaha I know mate! I thought I'd chance my arm and include some digs because I thought they'd want it trimmed back from 1700 words. So the plan was to reluctantly take some out on the edit :)

Excellent article although I'd argue for the inclusion of the QPR game, as that hurt them really badly.

Good article and definitely 7 key moments. Close call for me between the 4-1 and 0-3 last season. Whilst the 4-1 happened arguably before anyone realised how much better than them we were, the 0-3 at their place was total confirmation that we were better in every way. When Moyes came out with the final-nail-in-coffin line that City "were playing the type of football that we aspire to", it really hit home just how far we'd come. We brushed them aside at their own place that night and left them devoid of any more excuses.

Great article. Small factual error. Evans was sent off after the break in the 6-1

But...but...but didnt they have to cope with ten men for most of the game? ;)

A stupid oversight that. Ta bud.
