* They do have some likeable players - namely Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Carlos Tevez - whom it is actually quite tricky to wish ill upon.
* Paul Scholes is one of the lingering remnants of a time before bling and it would warm most cockles to see him achieve what he missed in 1999.
* They're the only thing standing between John Terry and the Champions League trophy.
* Peter Kenyon.
* Ronaldo may well bugger off to Real Madrid if they win, believing he's achieved everything he can with ManYoo.
* In Lyon, Roma and Barcelona they have beaten three of the best teams in France, Spain and Italy while Chelsea have only had to face England's fourth-best side and the finest football Greece and Turkey has to offer. There's definitely a theory building that United have earned one final triumph.
* It might stop Clive Tyldesley mentioning "that night in Barcelona".
* For all of Ronaldo's faults...he's not Didier Drogba.
* The closer ManYoo get to 'five times' the more Liverpool fans will be getting worried. And there's little that's more entertaining than a defensive Scouser.
