A worthwhile read on the BBC about the treble win.
Don't be put off by the 'pure luck' part in the title.
Also, don't bother with any 'we are so far away from that right now' comments. We know.

"I had done no research," admits the Dane. "The save was pure luck. I'm glad we didn't have iPods in those days. Who knows what would have happened if there had been?"

True. There were no iPods. But there were vcr’s. And do you think for one second saf, and his team, would not have recorded and analysed goalkeepers? Bollox.
The CL win, was lucky. Very, very lucky, but it was the sort of luck that was made by desire. For most of that Nat h we were second best, largely out of control, they were the better team. But then it kicked in, with 5 mins left. The reckless abandon. The pulverise the world, hell or high water, the dying breath of a downed, but not quite out gladiator. .
And in doing that. We won. We made the breaks. We made our luck.
But as in any record breaking season, as much skill, luck plays its part.

Arsenal were a class team back then and pushed United all the way, but United were better.

Bit of delusion from Winterburn there.
Arsenal won nothing we won the treble. Quite how you can determine Arsenal were better is really quite comical.

Just paying lip service to Arsenal fans most likely.

It is right up there with Garth Crooks logic.
