On literally every single measure, if we beat Inter, our achievements will be better.
For PL, 10 more points, 14 more goals, 18 better goal difference.
For FA Cup, excluding replays, 11 more goals and two more wins
For CL, 1st in group rather than 2nd, 8 more goals in KO phase, 10 better GD so far.
Of course, all will be for nothing if we lose on Saturday.

Both the rags and German rags had to qualify for Champions League via a play-off.
They were drawn together in the same group drawing both games

They rags won 2 drew 4 finishing 2nd
They qualified as the 2nd best runner-up then beat Inter and Juve to get to the final.

Edit: Also, there were 10 Germans in the Bayern staring line-up. I think that tops goldybollocks idea of the rags not buying anyone or having a team full of home-grown players..

Listen to the Forest fan.

Usual shite, then he gives City credit, then he goes into why United’s treble win will be better than City’s (possible) treble win.

Then read the comments. Very few people agree with the Forest fan.

I’m not going to listen but seems to be a little fake if he wasn’t actually there, or even supported United back then.

Great film which has actually been shown again twice on TV this week. That part is one of my favourite bits. "What's so fucking funny about me?? You think I'm a clown here to amuse you?" I like it because it reminds me of a guy I knew from Wythenshawe I worked with on the ships, Melvyn. He was witty, funny and great company but totally schitzo. Nobody knew when he'd flip but he often did and without warning. Like in the film he'd be laughing one minute then imagine someone had said something about him or his family. Then he wanted to kill them. It was both funny and frightening to watch, I often distracted him while the poor recipient of his anger escaped.

It‘s been notable the number of commentators who have been desperate to evaluate two events comparatively, before one of them has actually occurred.

Anything could happen next Saturday and until it does no-one can objectively compare the two things in the round (assuming that is the outcome).

It betrays the absence of objectivity these commentators are deploying to the task.

How can you compare two events if one of them is incomplete, unless you’ve already made your mind up, irrespective?

The mental gymnastics some of these cunts engage in really is a sight to behold.

If we win the treble…..I won’t give a fuck about hypothetical debates like this

However, Pep Guardiola will have been the first manager in the PL era to get 100 points, been the first manager ever in England to win a domestic treble, matched the PL record of 3 titles in a row and also won a “big” treble.
There will have to be some moving of goalposts to give him something else to achieve then before you can call him or his team great

Robbie Savage actually said tonight on 606 that he thinks we need to win 4 in a row before we can be called the best team ever.

Then a united fan said 3 united players would get on our team, when asked who he said Martinez Rashford and Garnacho.
Natalie Pike pointed out that Garnacho can’t get on the united side
 
Ah Goldbridge what a twerp. Hopefully we will be first team to do a double treble. Wonder how much that will hurt him and the rest of the tits that follow them
 
Another little vignette from Talkshite this evening. Talkshite's "transfer guru", Alex Crook, who, believe it or not, happens to be a united fan, and has his own show called "The Boot Room".

Discussing the penalty with former head of referees Keith Hackett, "well Keith, by the letter of the law it was a penalty", "not for me it wasn't" was the unexpected reply. Subject quickly changed to Mourinho's antics.

Plus two more games in the Champions League. In 1999 there was no round of 16.
 
After City beat United and did the double, the Daily Mail's current main headline is....
