10 Premiership Titles - Which was best?

MUFCgal · 16th May 2008, 10:49

I can remember them all. The first one in 92/93 was special because it was our first title in 26 years but I was very young then and although Man Utd was my team and I loved them, I didn't really understand it all TBH. 1999 was fantastic because of the Treble. I would probably go for 06/07 because we hadn't won the title for three seasons and there was all this talk that Chelsea were going to take a stranglehold on the league for years to come. The media and ABU's claimed that Fergie's reign was dead and that Man Utd had their time in the spotlight but we proved them all wrong by coming back and winning our 9th title, I loved it

For some reason last year seemed quite special as well.

I also thought about them in that order. The first of the ten... well no need to explain really, but last season's title came after the Russian Chelsea emerged and everybody had us written off following 3 years without winning the title, with "empire is crumbling", "where are the goals going to come from" type of crap.

maybe it is not he best but it is almost the most important because we had lost the title for 3 years. The arse seemed on the rise at that moment and chelski had the money and good manager and players while ruud left and we had some aging players like giggs and scholes. If we could not win it, we may need a few years to get the back the momentum.

but at the end we won it with just adding carrick and losing ruud, which is great achievement, esp to saf

Apart from the 1992. I think the most important one is the 2006, since it makes us believes that amidst chelsea emerging as superpower we still have the ability to take it back.

Only can speak for three but the sweetest was the 02/03 one, still can remember most of the games back then. The turning point that sticks in my mind was a game in January against Chelsea when Forlan scored the winner in the last minute. And three tough games in a row against Barcodes, Scousers and the Arse which defined our season.

Last year was brilliant too when nobody expected us to win, but we defied the odds in consumate style, and we just confirmed our ability this year.

Roll on next season!

Last season was the best in my memory by a long way, was absolutely fantastic.

We have won a few titles when we haven't been playing and other results have gone our way but you can't beat the feeling of actually winning it because the team did what they had to do on the day.

02/03 Great comeback. I thought we had absolutely no chance from 9 points down to overcome Arsenal. But we did, with Ruud as an absolutely phenomenal goalscorer and a 5-star midfield.

07/08 was special in its own way. I also thought "screw this season" after the first 3 games. How wrong I was!

92/93 - year upon year, we'd suffered false dawns with the odd cup wins and end of season collapses. This wasn't the case and OT rocked against Blackburn. After getting home from the game, to see Sir Matt on tv, smiling away seeing HIS club as champions again just made it so sweet (I need to convert the full match onto the pc at some point.), this is the best of the lot for me.

93/94 - After the wonderful summer of being able to proclaim to the world we are the champions, this season took us to another level. Winning a league once is a fine achievement, but to retain it meant something else.. Fergie was building a dynasty. The double cemented the feeling that this team was here to stay. This is why it's number 2 for me.

95/96 - We'd blown the chance of a double double and a hat-trick of leagues the year before. Eric was back and the kids were running the show. It wasn't a vintage year, but then like 92/93 it was important for the kids to win it and give them even more confidence. This one is probably number 6 for me.

96/97 - Another league retained, but this time we knew we could retain it, we knew how it felt to do so. For the players it was great a forth title in 5 years. For me, this was one of the lesser wins, the previous 3 meant so more. How much different could we celebrate winning a league again? This would be my number 8

98/99 - A losing season before, and so this made winning the league this year that bit better. Going into the final day to win it, going into the final day at OT to win it, when none of the previous titles had been won in a way was special. The tension that was within the ground was broken with Cole's goal, and gradually the reality sunk in, part one of the treble was complete. I will put this as my number 5, due in part to the conclusion of the treble.

99/00 - How could they follow the previous season? The league was won by a gap wider than the Atlantic and no one really pushed us. Others always point out the holiday to Brazil that year and no FA cup, but we still out played the league. It was slightly scary that we won it so easily, I know it's become like the SPL, but to win by such margins made me think we'd never be challenged again for years. My number 9 on the list

00/01 - A hat-trick of leagues and well after the previous season another almost free march to the title concerned me about the standard of the league we were in. It's always great winning, but by now winning the league wasn't special any more, I'd been spoilt and so this is my number 10.

02/03 - A fight back of unmeasurable proportions to win this title, Ruud's goals and the wonderful team spirit that took the team back from the brink and back to the title. After losing the title the previous season, it was fun to watch again and the one thing that cheered me at the end, was Blanc winning the league with us. After all the crap the previous season, he'd won the league and shut up his critics. This is number 4 for me, just ahead of the treble.

06/07 - A beautiful campaign, we fought tooth a nail and then powered to the title. With Chelsea's money and of course Arsenal still around, it proved to be a wonderful win, a special win. 3 years without the title and lots of odd signings, with a couple of gems thrown in for good measure, some were questioning SAF position and abilities, only for him and the team to prove them wrong. Number 3 on the list of special wins, here was a win to celebrate and feel good about.

07/08 - The team had won the previous season, and like the 93/94 team took on an air of champions, it was as if they believed they were champions and took the challenge all in there stride. A few slips here and there, and I'd like to put this higher, it might just get higher after next week, but for now this year is number 7
