On the scale of things it was only three points, BUT what it signified was huge, so was this win our greatest victory? Beating them in the semi was huge but this seems to top that, to humiliate the scum in their own back yard takes some beating.
Thoughts please...
 
YES!
Against the 'Championes' in the own back yard - against what they judged to be their full strength team? The underdogs - according to all the pundits - coming out 6-1 winners? Not just winning but humiliating our most hated opposition on their home patch?
Absolutely yes - I thought it couldn't get much better after the semi final win, bit it did on Sunday.
 
Every pundit has trotted out a list of United's biggest defeats in the years when they happened to go on and win the league.

But all of them - iirc - were away from home. It's quite something to go to OTT and win in the teeth of Fergy time and so on.

It's up there, for me.... all the pain of the 4-3, the Shrek shinning and so on gone right there.
 
By a country mile our best moment, not only that but our best day was united's worse. Joy of fucking joys!!
