This really kinda freaks me out to be honest.
I remember when Chelsea won the league in 1955, they did the double over Liverpool. When they first won a Premier League title in 2004/2005 season, they did the double over us again for the first time after 50 years.
Not only that - Compare 1978,1981 and 2005
1978
- Wales won the Grand Slam title.
- Pope passed away.
- Liverpool also won the European Cup.
1981
- Prince Charles got married.
- Ken and Deirdre marry on the street.
- A new Dr Who is appointed.
- Crystal Palace and Norwich City got relegated.
- Liverpool won 17 games that season and finished 5th.
- Liverpool were crowned Kings of Europe.
2005
- Wales won the Grand Slam title.
- Pope passed away.
- Prince Charles got married.
- Ken and Deirdre marry on the street.
- A new Dr Who is appointed.
- Crystal Palace and Norwich City were relegated again.
- Liverpool won 17 games that season and finished 5th again.
- Liverpool were crowned Kings of Europe for the 5th time.
~ what was amazing is that we were losing 3-0 at half time and many thought it would be the most one sided final ever but it wasn't. Comes to make me think that we'd catch up even if we were 10-nil down at half time.
The first time we won it, the date of the final was 25th of May and it was 25th of May again in 2005. I think in every year we won it, we wore our traditional Red kit while our opponents wore White. (except for the 2007 final in Athens).
Had enough? Guess not.
Think we will win the title this year? Even if the table shows otherwise.
1. Arsenal were 12 points behind United in 1998. They beat the Mancs at Old Trafford on the 14th of March 1998 and went on to claim their first Premier League title.
2. We beat United on the 14th of March 2009 at Old Trafford and will we win our FIRST title?
3. The last time we won the title, we did the double over Chelsea and we did it against them this year again.
4. The last time we beat Man United at Old Trafford wearing grey was in 1990 which was also the last time we won the League title.
5. Last title - 1990. Add each digit > 1+9+9+0 = 19 < Our 19th title?
6. The date we beat the defending champions and our rivals,Man United was 14/03/2009. Add each digit > 1+4+0+3+2+0+0+9 = 19.
7. The last time we won the league, we drew 10 games and lost to Tottenham Hotspur away. (But we played more than 40 games) < so, will we be winning all our 9 games left?
8. It's also 19 years since we last won it.
I did some research on this one and boy, I like the way it's getting at.
Now, don't you think if had worked for 2005, that it would work again?
And the table looks like the title is going to Manchester..... but don't we win our trophies in style?
