Oh joy we're back to Manchester United. As the Premier League trophy has come to Old Trafford 13 times out of a possible 27 brace yourself to read even more about them.

This season stands out for two famous quotes. The first came after a summer where experienced players such as Paul Ince and Mark Hughes were sold and an opening day defeat to Aston Villa, pundit Alan Hansen declared: "You'll never win anything with kids."

Those kids included Beckham, Scholes, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and Phil Neville, whose emerging talent propelled United to a famous double ahead of arch-rivals Newcastle and Liverpool.

You may have guessed by now that the second quote, came courtesy of Magpies' manager Kevin Keegan, who exclaimed on live TV: "I would love it if we beat them! Love it!"

Absolute classic.
