Do you guys think, if they win the Double, that this is the best Man Utd team in history? I keep hearing that claim, and I'm not sure that I see it. They've obviously had a great, great season, but they also had five losses; they only had three in '98-'99 and '99-'00.
i certainly haven't been in this world long enough to justify that but fergie said it's probably the best squad he's ever managed. obviously the treble-winning team has something to say about that but i think what he means is the overall talent in the squad is the best. apart from them only having two strikers as compared to the cole-yorke-solskjaer-sheringham teams, i don't think i can argue.
as a united fan, i'm genuinely scared of the threat of chelsea. they are really capable of beating united with their mix of physicality and outright quality. i'd feel much better if either terry or carvalho misses the final. i hear they're both injured right now whereas united is at full strength.
anyway, if united win this, i really can see fergie finally hanging it up. i mean, seriously this time. i believe this was the reason he stayed on: for another crack at the ucl. i know he keeps saying he's not ready but i'm skeptical. although i think he would relish managing this squad to a spell of dominance, especially in europe.
really stoked one of my teams have tasted victory this year. here's hoping the celts make it two out of two.
