The Title Winning Season in Review: Portsmouth (H) November 4th
By: Nick | June 14th, 2007Although Portsmouth at Fratton Park are another beast entirely, their visit to Old Trafford normally results in a comfortable win. Which we were indeed able to manage, to remain top of the league.
After a disappointing loss to FC Copenhagen in mid-week, it was a workman like result, duly noted by The Times:
“…but while their football did not quite scale the heights of the 4-0 defeat of Bolton Wanderers the previous weekend, it was still an emphatic performance”.
As far as the title race was going, The Times could only see two contenders, while measuring the importance of United’s most experienced performers:
“Sorely missed in the 1-0 Champions League defeat by FC Copenhagen three days earlier, Neville, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs were again instrumental and Ferguson said that the form and fitness of that trio will be central to United’s title challenge. “These are the players that have been there before,” Ferguson said. Time will tell whether the future is red or blue”.
