#1. 1995-96, 12 points, Manchester United
In January 1996, Newcastle United was up by a dozen and a fairytale script seemed to be in the works. The team was hugely popular, with the Brits embracing the 'entertainers'. With Eric Cantona back in the ranks, United set off on a solid run, even as Newcastle seem to have hit against a wall.

With the title race heating up, Sir Alex Ferguson suggested that lower table teams such as Nottingham Forest could not try as hard against Newcastle. The comment irritated Kevin Keegan, who let his steam out on Sky Sports, even suggesting that United need a result against Middleborough to stay in the hunt. United did just that and Ferguson, the master at mind games, succeeded in unnerving Keegan.
The Red Devils won 13 of the last 15 games to upend Newcastle to take the title - as unlikely an outcome as they come for a team lying fifth on Boxing Day.
