10 Premiership Titles - Which was best?
Yes, all were great, but which would you say was the best of the lot or your most memorable?
I think I would say the obvious one, 92/93 as it was a great race, we had not done it for 26 years and we had a great bunch of players - the mix of old and new. Also the night when we got the trophy was one of the best I have experienced at Old Trafford - even though I was still pretty young. |

1999. Helped build momentum for the two finals and was obviously historic. Quite an exciting finish as well with the Spurs game and Andy Cole winning it for us after many blamed him for him not scoring against West Ham when Blackburn won the league... that made me happy.

Unfortunately I wasn't old enough to follow the 92/93 one..
but... 2002/2003 was very special I thought! Especially coming back from so many points behind and just pissing all over Arsenal. I'll never forget the comments that came out of Highbury that season..... 99 was the most interesting 2001 loved it how we basically just shat on everyone! |

I was too young to really remember the first (my first United memory is actually Blackburn beating us to the title in 94/95), so I'll have to say last season. Almost written off before the season started, three seasons without the title, the might of Chelsea, the selling of Ruud, the 'fight' between Rooney and Ronaldo...many considered it the end of our era. Instead, we came out and basically topped the table the entire season.
Of course, if you're including the other trophies then 99 is unsurpassed. |

 I've been a fan since 1998, when I started having access to United games on the TV. Therefore, I'd have to say 1999. |

"No question. Oh, there's no doubt about that."02/3 for me. We may not have been the best team that year, but we did it with pure will to win, and those last 10 games we were stupendous. |

92/93 was a bit early for me. United was my club then too, but I was too young to really understand anything at all.
Last years was quite sweet. We hadn`t won it in a little while, and Fergie proved many wrong, winning post Abramovich as well. It was also nice to see the likes of Neville, Scholes and Giggs winning together with young ones like Rooney and Ronaldo. |

'93 Absolute Euphoria after 26 feckin years and all that. My Number 1
'94 Proved we were no one season wonders ,great fighting spirit. '96 The Kids. Clawing back 12 pts. '97 "We won the football League..Down by the Merseyside!" '99 Last day drama, Coles brilliant finish. Dreams of Trebles. My Number 3 '00 Pissed it that Year. I was at The Dell for the clinching of it in early April '01 Boro winning 3 0 at Arsenal actually pissed me off. Wanted the 'clincher' to be Citeh at home! (How spoilt we were) '03 Best team always wins the League Plech. Ruuuuuuuuuuuud! '07 United were Back and Chelski were broken...and what style! My Number 2 '08 Character and Ronny won us this..and the best is yet to come! |

02/03 was a beautiful championship. it might be one of fergie's weakest teams to win the title, but it was a magical ride. falling behind. losing to arsenal in that fa cup match. beckham boot incident. could we come back? well could we fuck? YES! Just something about it, the way we clawed back arsenal, ruud's goals, the last 1/3 of the season, beck's last season, scholes on form. giggs and keane still doing the business.
even the cl, that madrid qf was so wonderful yet so heartbreaking. I really though if we beat madrid, we were going to piss on the competition. just the sheer rollercoaster of emotions on that title were good. It is interesting that a lot of people are picking that one. i thought i'd be one of the few that picked this one. being that it has to go up against '99, '93, '94, '08, '07 |

Ferguson always seems to go back to the first title as being the most special and rightly so really.
For me the quality of our rivals adds a lot to winning the title, and the Arsenal double-winners of 98/99 were a really great side that pushed us right to the end (in league and cup) and it was fantastic to pip them to the post. It was special overturning Keegan's Newcastle too, and last season was great to overthrow the monster that is Ambramovic's Chelsea. |

Totally agree. Last year was very special for me. To be there to see us lift the trophy was my dream come true. |

Chelsea and their bags of dosh were going to rule the league for the next decade or two, we were considered a side in 'transition' .. and we won.. and then won it again.. |
