I love the way the rags are consoling themselves by comparing our current team to their previous good teams.
One thing they fail to appreciate is that their good teams by and large only had one competitor. Their team with Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez would be the only one of their previous Premier League teams that would give us a contest. This City team would wipe the floor with their 99 treble winning team.

Their 1999 treble winning team were the luckiest set of bastards ever to step on a football field. They scraped the league with only 79 points just one point more than Arsenal, they only got to the FA Cup final because Arsenal missed a penalty in the last minute of normal time in semi final replay (they were also drawn at home in every round) and they were battered throughout the CL final until they sneaked two late goals.

Lion man won't be able to finish what he started. How sad...
The Lion man? I think you mean the lying man!

He didn’t cost anything!
He came he saw he conquered!
He’s a Lion, as man wouldn’t be fit and back playing as fast!
He has unfinished business!
He would never play in the Europa League!
And on, and on, and on!
 
I believe that the rags are the only team he's played for where he's not had a league winners medal.

Don't let the door hit your nose in the way out.
He was never going to play a serious role for them this season but managed to screw another 10-15m out of them for feck all.
Was Jose on commission we ask?
 
Rashford will end up like Jizzyjazz if he doesn’t get away from Mourinho’s clutches. It’s clear he is behind Sanchez and Martial in the current pecking order which is ironic as he is easily their most promising player.

Do not care, wish Jose could sign him for another year or two and maybe few more players like him who are retiring from Europe - will set rags up for next five years.

He bragged that he had conquered every league he has played in. He said that Pep had no balls. Then quoted “ Guardiola started his philosopher thing. I was barely listening, why would I? It was advanced bullshit about blood, sweat and tears, that kind of stuff.”
Got that one wrong eh mate...

Heals like a Lion my arse. Mind you Shark bites do take time to heal!

He came, he saw, he failed. Now fuck off with your last trophy.....the Europa Cup. (how embarrassing)

It’s why suggestions that it was their greatest team are asinine. It was a great team, but their team of a decade or so later would have battered them.

Ronaldo, peak-Rooney and Tevez absolutely pisses all over Sheringham, Yorke and Cole. As for the defences, the gulf was even bigger: Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and (to a lesser extent) Neville was the best back 4 in club football at the time. I reckon David May might have struggled to get in that team. The midfields were pretty evenly matched: Keane was imperious at that time tbf so the ‘99 midfield might barely edge it. Only in the goalkeeping dept. could you categorically state that ‘99’s incumbent was discernibly better, but not overwhelmingly so; van der Sar was still a top ‘keeper.
