A purely subjective view that owes nothing to analysis or statistics - I like watching this team more. Maybe it's because in 99 we were winning our fifth PL in 7 years and winning the CL seemed overdue.
The current lot still feel like a new team to me - and I'm watching to see how good they'll get. Much as I want the CL I feel like it's "due" rather than overdue and that makes it exciting rather than painful (though I can't say I'm fond of the idea that if we get through to the final we'll play an English team - that's not right, Barca should have been the final!)
If you could have a match between the teams? The 99 team were lucky as well as good - never discount the value of luck. I'm still waiting to see how lucky the 08 team are.
