I didn't anticipate a dynasty at that point. I seriously thought Vieira was leaving straight after that game, our squad was fairly thin and we'd been lucky with injuries, we were in need of some serious re-building.

I see huge missed opportunities from that period now - we could've feasibly won two doubles and a treble in three years. I know that sounds crazy but we threw away the league in 2002/03, we threw away the Champions League in 2004, and we really should've won that 2004 FA Cup semi against ManU

Got lucky in a FA cup final a season later.
