You're leaving out our top-scorer and a player already mentioned in this thread. That's how good our team is.Wheelsy said:I guarantee in the next five years Mancin's Maestros will be talked about in the same breath.
Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Barry, Yaya Toure, Silva, Aguero, Balotelli.
I agree about the two United sides. The 08 side had the potential to be better, perhaps as good as Arsenal's side, but they didn't live up to it. Far too many last gasp and untidy wins involved that season for me to consider them truly great (including the CL final, very lucky) - despite the talent they had man for man.Unknown_Genius said:It has to be the 99 United team, though its a close call between them and the Arsenal Invincibles. People talk about the United team of 2008, but I feel they don't come close to the 99 treble winning team. Call me biased, but I think United were very lucky that season (07-08).
99 CL win was last gasp, we won the league by 1 point, and we were incredibly lucky in that FA semi.Castiel said:I agree about the two United sides.

I guess it works both ways then but I just expected 08 to be better looking back at them. Slow start to the season IIRC, the team didn't gel as well as it could have. Though can't argue with results.Viva Rivaldo said:99 CL win was last gasp, we won the league by 1 point, and we were incredibly lucky in that FA semi.
I think around 08/09, we had far better competition to overcome than we did 10 years previously. At least domestically, anyway.
Yeah, that was what I meant above. We shoehorned Ronaldo into the side as much as we could - as he guaranteed results - whilst it stunted some of our play a bit.Castiel said:I guess it works both ways then but I just expected 08 to be better looking back at them.
