I think it has almost been forgotten how close we came to a repeat of the treble that year. It was a superb season for us really, as you say the defensive injury crisis and a small squad meaning that Giggs and Scholes especially were faitgued at the end of the season ruined us.
Heinze being totally inept at the San Siro and Giggs in the final against Chelsea being blatatly fouled by Essien in that ball over the line incident(even though he probably still should have scored) meant that we only ended up with the League.
In some ways the 06/07 season was a greater achievement than last year, and especially in the first half of that season we played some of our best football under fergie.
