The finest premier league team ever, the finest championship team ever, greatest FA cup team ever

Agree totally. Shame we were shit in the third division :-)

Can't comment with certainty on how the Keegan side compares with all the other winners of that division but it was a blast to follow.

I'm not entirely certain which of Pep's City sides was the best ever seen in the English game but that combination of Sane Sterling Aguero, supported by Merlin Kev and Dinho was so very special.

It was normally 3-5-2 in 2001-02, SWP broke into the team as a right wing back, Goat played up top with Wanchope until the latter was injured.

Jenson ended as dominant left wing back, after Granville and Tiatto also played there, Pearce was normally left centre back.

One thing I always curiously remember about Seaman. He was clearly well past it, but he realised this and left the club quite early, instead of hanging on as he could have to collect his wages. That enabled a cash strapped City to go out and buy David James, who for me was a top keeper and who arguably kept us in the Premier League. My point is Seaman could have hung on and collected his wages like Danny Mills. He didn’t and deserves credit for that.

Remember reading words to the effect after Seaman was injured at Pompey: “The City keeper went down in a crumpled heap. He was shovelled into a bin bag and carried unceremoniously off the pitch.”

I can’t disagree with either.

The Keegan promotion side was fantastic. Ali B and Eyal pulling the strings; The Goat, Wanchope and Huckerby scoring goals for fun. Just amazing.

The only bad thing about it was that I missed most of it, as I was spending a semester each in Germany and France as part of my degree course.

The Centurions side was unbelievable 32 victories; 50 points at home and away, and all achieved with a makeshift left-back in Fabian Delph for most of the season.

However, the Fourmidables side was also brilliant, and I can’t decide which one was the better.

The fourmidables
We had to be flawless. Any fouls we committed were punished.
I still can’t believe we were so disciplined.

The OP has missed off:

The greatest FA cup final team 6-0 (shared with Bury).

I’m guessing the 26 goals we scored on the way might be the record as well?

Record score at a Wembley final.

Great squad all-round for that level. We also had Macken, Sun Jihai, Morrison, Dickov, Cooke, Mettomo…

Everything is of its time I’m 59 and have enjoyed some wonderful times watching my team but alas also some rubbish but you know what I wouldn’t change a thing and suspect most of us blues wouldn’t However yesterday regardless of the opposition was one of the most complete , controlled games of football I’ve seen , every player put their all in to dominate that game A joy to watch Cmon City

The best team ever to play in the English league. From 2017 it's been clear.
