Two: Bitter Rivals
from Manchester United: The Lost Tapes
English football has always had its rivalries. Where there is champion, there is a challenger. With over a century of history, it had rarely been the case that two of the most successful teams were competing at the same time. That was the case towards the end of the 20th century. Manchester United and Arsenal competed against each other for a generation, but it was under Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger when competition became an interchangable word for tribal warfare. Years of mounting tension finally erupted just after the turn of century when a series of matches at Old Trafford became progressively more hostile. It all culminated in a showdown at Highbury in February 2005. The conclusion was epic. But so was the journey. This is the unheard story of the greatest rivalry in Premier League history.
