yeah, funny that. selling a key player and replacing him with a has-been on a free.
sounds familiar.

in the 01/02 season we'd lost 6 games by christmas. and we didn't win the league, understandably. you can't get beat at home by Bolton, west ham, chelsea, liverpool and middlesbrough and expect to win the league. infact we finished 3rd didn't we.
in the 02/03 season we'd lost 5 games by boxing day. we went on to win the league thanks to the staggering form of paul scholes and van nistelrooy and didn't lose a single game after that.
