I don't think people realise how important it was for someone to put a stop to chelsea's increasing domination of the English game.
People have short memories and it's easy to forget that Utd winning the title that year was just as unlikely as the bin dippers winning it this season.

If Utd hadn't snatched the title that year (against the odds), the whole Mourinho/Abramavich fall out may never have happened either.
