Goosebumps!! Thank you for sharing
Myself and Mrs Blaggs just say the same thing courage passion. Loyalty and get your boots on top win. Or if you don't then die trying.Miss those days when the game was about passion, courage and loyalty. There is none these days, only money and greedy agents.
Don't do it to yourself. MUTV had a programme recently of the 1000 goals scored at OT in the premier league by us. I managed to catch from 06/07 to 08/09. God I miss those days.
I'm just watching and can't believe the difference in the team.
I think we don't fully realize how lucky we were to witness that Man United team (from 06/07 to 08/09).Don't do it to yourself. MUTV had a programme recently of the 1000 goals scored at OT in the premier league by us. I managed to catch from 06/07 to 08/09. God I miss those days.
I definitely didn't at the time, I was 15-18 and thought we'd carry on like that for the rest of my life. I certainly appreciate it now though and worry I'm going to be one of them old men raving about how much better past united was to whatever we will become.I think we don't fully realize how lucky we were to witness that Man United team (from 06/07 to 08/09).
Same for me +5 yearsI definitely didn't at the time, I was 15-18 and thought we'd carry on like that for the rest of my life. I certainly appreciate it now though and worry I'm going to be one of them old men raving about how much better past united was to whatever we will become.
I was there from the time of Hughes.Don't do it to yourself. MUTV had a programme recently of the 1000 goals scored at OT in the premier league by us. I managed to catch from 06/07 to 08/09. God I miss those days.
That 08 squad was ridiculous, every single player from that team could walk into our current squad and improve us immensely (except maybe Van Der Saar)

They were everything we should be. Fighter warriors.That 08 squad was ridiculous, every single player from that team could walk into our current squad and improve us immenselyy (except maybe Van Der Saar)
Be careful when you mention those things. You might soon be called an uber masculine nazi, top red from the 90's.Myself and Mrs Blaggs just say the same thing courage passion. Loyalty and get your boots on top win. Or if you don't then die trying.
No big player is loyal enough these daysMyself and Mrs Blaggs just say the same thing courage passion. Loyalty and get your boots on top win. Or if you don't then die trying.
Why not? We have the same resources.They were everything we should be. Fighter warriors.
We'll never be Barcelona or Madrid. But we can be the dog in the fight. That's all I want
Champions.. Never give up never surrender . Kill yourself to win.
I think he means stylistically.Why not? We have the same resources.
Yea- but why not? I would say it’s possibleI think he means stylistically.
Well we have ‘been good’ before and never played like them. It’s part of what really irks me about this media obsession about our style of play since Fergie left. We were never the gold standard of good football under him. Arsenal were, for the most part.Yea- but why not? I would say it’s possible
Because that's never been our style.Why not? We have the same resources.
That Robin Van Persie winner against City in 2012 was probably on of the last times we played with courage and passion. One of my favorite games as a fan of this club.Miss those days when the game was about passion, courage and loyalty. There is none these days, only money and greedy agents.

Yeah, we've never really played the tiki taka. We were the opposite in fact, fast and dynamic and by god it was exhilarating! Giggs and Kanchelskis was great but Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo, oh boy. I so much prefer that style of football than the pass to death carousel.Well we have ‘been good’ before and never played like them.

Funny thing is, people said the exact same thing 20 to 30 years ago. The game keeps getting bigger and the players keep getting richer...Miss those days when the game was about passion, courage and loyalty. There is none these days, only money and greedy agents.
I started following our club from 2004ish. From that time, I feel this time is the nadir wrt the spirit for the game. Its all about diving, fouls and most importantly, money.Funny thing is, people said the exact same thing 20 to 30 years ago. The game keeps getting bigger and the players keep getting richer...
I don't remember if I ever celebrated anything more than that. The wounds from previous season were still raw.That Robin Van Persie winner against City in 2012 was probably on of the last times we played with courage and passion. One of my favorite games as a fan of this club.
Yeah, the passion was massive. It meant I always had complete trust in them to deliver. It seemed like they felt what we felt.Miss those days when the game was about passion, courage and loyalty. There is none these days, only money and greedy agents.
We're gonna start living far too much in the past unless the future brightens soonBe careful or this forum may devolve into RAWK Liverpool supporters have had years remembering when they were good.
Except for all those times we didn’t come back.We were often 2 goals behind, but you just knew we would come back. Oh for those days again.
But to say it never will be our style is wrong. Clubs change all the time, style of play changes all the time and even more so within the modern game.Because that's never been our style.
Even van Der Sar mate - a great leader of that team.That 08 squad was ridiculous, every single player from that team could walk into our current squad and improve us immensely (except maybe Van Der Saar)
Honestly don't think "any current or future manager" WILL match what we (SAF) did. Or get anywhere close.Except for all those times we didn’t come back.
I’m all for a bit of nostalgia but there’s a danger in romanticising the past so much that nothing any current or future manager achieves will be able to match the myths we’ve built up around a fictional past where our team never lost or had a bad day at the office.
Even the very best teams Fergie created were capable of producing shitty performances (usually against Liverpool, annoyingly enough)
