I think it was though, in terms of how satisfying I found it.

Man Utd probably are the "biggest" club we've beaten since Bayern Munich, but I enjoyed it so much because a) I've always hated Man Utd more than any other club, including the Binners, b) I've waited so long to see us beat them, c) I was in Manchester at the time, and d) We'd been so poor all season (3 wins, all by the odd goal, 2 of those won in the last 10 minutes, numerous defeats on the trot, no clean sheet since October, etc) and it was so unexpected.

I will never, ever get tired of watching that game.
