was good run never thought it would last poor performance tho think we need clear out in summer
Because you have been? Scrappy wins vs Arsenal, Stoke, WBA, Wolves to name a few. Your GD is high because you spanked Blackburn and Birmingham when they forgot to defend - How many times have you scored 3+ goals this season?
You can actually play convincingly and not leave it till the 94th minute to win/draw games... Look back at the Arsenal Invincible reign - OK, we drew a lot of games but we actually played well..

Man Utd’s unbeaten run ended on 29 games – level with their previous best PL unbeaten run. Invincible? Clearly not. 2003/04
you do realise the FFP will make things better for united. since they have the biggest revenue stream of any football club. And once the Glazers debt is removed, under the FFP, there probably won't be a club in europe woulc could compete with united finanically in the market. l
**** with Invincibles. Remember last time what happened when we had unbeaten record of 29 league games and great keeper announced his retirement?
Yes the famous TREBLE.
We always tend to overrate history. It not like Arsenal were not lucky in 2003-04, they had so many calls going in their favor and last min penalty misses all the drama. Now that it happened, people tend to overrate the performance.
Had we gone on to win the league without losing, after 5-10 years people would have talked about how good United were in 2010-11 season
No, I really don't think this ManU team will go down in anyone's memory. Had they gone undefeated people would have talked about how they were one of the worst teams in history to get such good results (unless they really started playing better in the second half of the season).
We're this far in and they have the same number of wins as Arsenal does right now. They've had countless last minute goals to salvage points after poor games.
This isn't an historic team and it's not nearly as good as when Ronaldo and Tevez were still there, with Scholes and company a few years younger and Rooney in form. They're going to win the Prem with ease because none of the other teams are any good and because they've shown great determination and are always able to get results by scoring when it counts.
They're an efficient team and a good one but they are by no means an historic team, not like the Invincibles and not like Barca has been the past few years and not like the treble winners from 99.
Worst team? You got some agenda against United, i can make it out looking at your posts. Had we achieved, we deserved it. We are not talking about Cups where lucky run can win it, it is a league, you get what you deserve.
Do me a favor, can you please list the games where we won in the last min? If anything we dropped points against Fulham, Everton, WBA after playing well and leading for long time. Hardly anyone mentions it, instead they wank on how we got lucky against Villa, WBA, Wolves.
It is not just mentality, we got good players, so we fight till the final whistle. Game is played for 90 mins, and we give our all till the final whistle.
2007-08, we were the best team in the world bar none, It would be miracle to build such a team again. You point is non sense saying we get results by scoring when it counts. Show me a team that wins points by not scoring when it counts. We play according to the plan and we execute it. You can downplay by saying anything about our players as if we give ****. We all know how underrated United squad is.
Our 99 team had so many comebacks and won the games in the last min, even scoring when it mattered most. We had big names, that was the difference.
Point is simple, Arsenal went on to win the league without losing. Did they deserve it? Yes, coz they achieved it.
Had we did it, i would have said we deserved it. C
Ferguson is not retiring at the end of the season.
I thought he was going to retire after they passed Liverpool for the number of titles? Aren't they tied with Liverpool as of now?
How many teams have finished unbeaten...and do you think this ManU team ranks with them? Barca isn't unbeaten this season and trust me, this year's Barca team will be remembered more than this season's ManU team no matter what happens in the CL.
ell I'm not a ManU fan so I can't remember exactly when you guys won points in the last minute, it just seems that it happens a lot, and I'm not the only one who has said so
That Liverpool game, Aston Villa (didn't they score two goals in last five minutes or something crazy like that?), a Stoke game if I recall, the first Wolves game, the Arsenal game you guys won on a deflection, WBA (if I remember correctly, Chicha came in a scored at the end, and he did the same against Bolton or someone like that), Blackpool, etc
I don't like watch the Prem but whenever I have watched ManU this season, they've been efficient and get the result, but I've never seen them play really well.
I would disagree about 07-08. That year and the following year you guys were very, very good, but "bar none" is an exaggeration. In 07-08, after Mourinho left, Chelsea got more points than anyone in the Prem, including you. And they were unlucky to not win the CL, IMO. So were ManU the best team in the world that season? I think so, but Chelsea was a very, very close second. Barca was having a bad year with Ronaldinho not wanting to train and all. But the next year, they had a coaching change and blew that same ManU team out of the water.
So? What's your point? Do you seriously think this ManU team is better than your 99 team?
Just like Barca 08-11. They were never undefeated either but they were legendary, and still are. Last year they got unlucky in the CL because they had to take a bus to Milan for that first game, and Inter defended very well in the second. Credit to Inter, and they were a great team too.
They're not nearly as good as they were from 07-09, the difference is that this season the rest of the Prem absolutely sucks. Who is your competition? Arsenal? I think when totally healthy they're as good as you guys, but without Vermaelen they simply can't defend. So you win the title. Congrats.
But if you think this side is legendary and will go down in history as one of the all-time great teams alongside the 99 ManU team, than I think you're dead wrong.
dont drag Djemba Djemba into thisNot the greatest side, but to call this as poorest team is ridiculous. I dont think you have seen when we had likes of Djemba Djemba, Kleberson, Fortune in our midfield.
I never said you were ****, I said you would be remembered as a poor team to go undefeated. ManU is probably the 3rd best team in the world. Maybe even the 2nd. But I don't think they're an all-time historic team, not like the Invincibles, or that other team that went undefeated (Nottingham Forest maybe?). So I really don't see how this makes me anti-ManU or anti-Prem...
