Really think the battle of the Bridge, in hindsight, was a massive turning point for us. Previous seasons we get hammered there in the same circumstances, this was a proper stand up and be counted performance. Plenty of times Fergie teams have behaved like that, Keane, Ince, Scholes, Cantona all gave a F@@k. It shows we care and we were no longer a push over (“lads, it’s Spurs”, “sexy”).
Such a completely different performance from from the season or two before when we lost 5-0 in an embarrassingly characterless performance under Sherwood (he was absolutely right to go to town on the players that day even if it did seal his fate at the club).
