Best team in PL history my a*se

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Nailed it
2008 side were the dogs, but for a cock up against pompy in FA Cup there was another treble on. But the boys in 99 who for me never gave in in any game all season. And they are the ones who did it.
Their title winning side ain't even close, if you haven't defended it or went unbeaten you are not even top 5.
Most fearsome?! Madrid knocked out PSG, City, Chelsea AND Liverpool. Combined wealth of those clubs is like a trillion!
Liverpool also had one of the easiest runs you could have.
Amen. If they don't like it, feel free to go to RAWK.
Was really poor.
Just like their club, their fan forums aren't as good as others. Why else would they post on here instead
They are strong team, not great team. For being great you must win stuff. Pretty simple. "Almost" doesn't count in sports.

They are one of the best teams in the world, gave us a 9-0 aggregate spanking and had a far better season than us. But you have to laugh at the hype they've given this side all season long versus what they've actually ended up when all's said and done. Hilarious they're having to do an open top bus with two trophies they'd happily swap for either one they missed out on.
They've given it the big un all season about how fecking great they are, they've ended up with a decidedly un-great season all-told. feck them

I was replying to a post implying they're on the slide. The number of fans who clung on to our 2nd place with a dismal points total, completely hypocritical. Let's not kid ourselves, we'd be giving our left nut to be finishing the league with 90+, winning a couple of cups and going to deep into the CL and for that to be ultimately a disappointing season.
The United 'fans' getting salty over Liverpool being bantered, are proper mugs.
Good team. Not great though.
I still think Klopp's Liverpool are a great all time side. 3 times they've managed to get more points than Fergie or Wenger or anyone bar Pep/Mourinho have ever got in a PL season. They're unlucky enough to be sharing an era with the best team in English history. 3 CL finals they've got to and they won 1. They were unlucky to a degree in 2 of those finals with Salah being taken out by a professional foul with no sending off while their keeper had a mare and dominating the possession last night against a parked bus. Without the oil doped Man City with an ATG Manager they'd have 3 out of 4 titles with 3 record points totals.
I do appreciate they're your rival and they technically haven't won the big 2 comps they're in by a hair width but objectively they're playing at a very high level. Their football is incredibly efficient if it isn't necessarily always great to watch.
Having said all that they are cheats with their TUE doping.
Yep. Utter embarrassment.
This is the cringey opinion of someone who believes football was born in 1992. They're one title behind United's haul of 20 and if they get to 21 before you, real United fans will hurt.
Sure but the post you quoted was referencing the current Liverpool team under Klopp, not the entire history of Liverpool football club.
Current team ffs
Yep, can only imagine they're internet fans who don't understand football tribalism at all.
When you're not a very good team, seeing a rival fail is wonderful.
Obviously you'd prefer to be the team competing for the prizes, but you can't always be. Simple as that.
Surely you get that he was meaning this version of the Liverpool team.
The media and many fans were declaring them the best "ever" Premier league team, even though they're not even the best "current" team.
Complete tossers, must be trolling having to come on to remind us we are shit which we already knew, to then defend liverpool honour,
.....dare say pretend United men
You are really dense when it comes to this
Sorry to break it too ya but we would be on 3 more titles too if this bit didn't exist. Think before you write.
trolldar is dinging mad
Pretty much, doesnt matter how many points they got if they didnt end up winning, it means someone also got there and bettered them. Says as much about the standard of the league
He’s definitely a trollYou are really dense when it comes to this

He was calling the Arsenal double team of 98 average last week.
All to down play the treble.I'm pretty sure this never happened. I said the Invinsibles were a much better side than the 98 side, which they wereHe was calling the Arsenal double team of 98 average last week.
I'm focusing on Liverpool's achievements here. United's potential achievements are therefore irrelevant to the discussion. So in actual fact who is really the dense one given you completely missunderstood the basic premise of the discussion?You are really dense when it comes to this

I dislike the take of seperating the PL and First Division era.
Winning most points doesn't mean anything. If it was a norm during those days and we missed out. It would be normal. I can bet my life, if this Liverpool side and 2008 United were in the running for say 5 PL seasons. We would have won more PL than them.
This
Owen thinks they are still the team to beat? Add that to his collection of quotes
They were beaten. By not one, but two other teams
They were beaten. By not one, but two other teams
No one was doing that. you just didn’t understand properly
Aye it’s weird. Of course we’d rather United were an elite team at this moment, but we’re not. Unashamedly Pool bottling it like that, after the hype all season has been the highlight for me of this season, by an absolute mile
No one was doing that. Everybody knows liverpool are on 19 and we're on 20, hence the big 19 celebration when we overtaken them.
You probably had more talented individuals but I can't see your 2008 4-4-2 formation being as successful in modern football if that team time travelled to today because the midfield would get overrun. Their tactics and formation would have to adapt at least to be competitive with the best sides.
Cafs gone
Find it irritating the lack of respect Fergie’s two CL winning sides generally get. The media and punditry constantly on the look-out to hype anyone but them as potentially the greatest, despite their stand-out achievements - only English sides to win the CL and PL in the same season, only English sides to win a hat-trick of league titles consecutively (although I expect City to achieve this next season). And of course the actual Treble.
