The period youre referring to is a nine game winning streak where we beat all the Premier League flotsum (and Arsenal) after we'd lost the derby, been knocked out of the cup by Liverpool and failed to reach the KO stage of the CL.
It wasn't 'great', it was £#%&!ing turgid for the most part...like that night at Wigan in the middle of this 'great' run where we won, despite being outplayed for much of the night....and generally being utterly cack.
I was at the games being discussed, I don't know why anyone would pretend it was a fun time to watch United...it was miserable.
