Man United have almost secured their 5th League title in six seasons.
Consistency, Efficiency and Determination are words often associated with ManU. If they go on to
win the title this season, they'll further enhance their reputation as the best team in
England.
It has passed without too much attention that Arsenal's 'Invincibles' of 2003/04 were last week
named the best team of the Premier League 20-year awards. A fine achievement considering some

Who would you prefer as the new No.2 to Arsene Wenger at the Arsenal? Pat Rice is calling it a
