I think they won the league thoughJardim's Monaco were incredible. It was sad to see them get dismantled so swiftly.
I found them more exciting to watch under Redknapp for the most part.Poch's Spurs
It was exciting, for opposing fans.
07/08 Arsenal was a brilliant side imo.League Cup finalist Arsenal - in fact all post Henry Arsenal sides.
Denmark 1984-86 was a great team.Here´s a couple of brilliant teams that fits in here...
Brazil 1982 - Denmark 1984-1986 - Netherlands 1974/1998 - Pocchetinos Spurs
Would of helped our chances if Ole made a few subsIt was, and one of the only times I can remember post-Fergie where pundits spoke positively about us too. We were pretty great on the counter attack. We didn't lose a game between football restarting after covid and the end of that season, which pulled us from 6th to 3rd.
Following season was fun too. We seemed to take advantage no crowds at away games better than anyone else. We didn't lose a single behind-closed-doors away game in the league.
Really should have won the Europa League though. Just a tragic penalty shootout.
Same for the Dutch side of the 70s.The Dutch side between 96 and the early 2000's was bloody brilliant to watch, without ever actually winning anything.
Probably 11/12?Biesla's Athletic Bilbao - The most notable example being the 2-2 draw between Biesla's Athletic Bilbao and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona in 2021/22 which till this day is one of the best games I've ever watched.
England 90 was much better. Did a brilliant World Cup in terms of attacking football but managed to score their chances against West Germany and the rest is history.England 96.
That’s actually a good shout.Man. United 11/12 aswell. Were involved in loads of high scoring games that season, 8-2 v Arsenal, 4-4 Everton, Bolton 5-0 etc and back to front it had more about it than the one that comfortably won the league the next season in Fergie's final year.
86-87 Spurs. Hoddle, Waddle, Ardiles. Clemence in goal. 49 goals from Clive Allen. 3rd in the league behind Merseyside. Lost in semi-finals of league cup after replay. Lost in FA cup final. Probably the most glamorous English side of that era.Boro 96/97 deserve a thread on their own. Two cup finals but lost both and got relegated with all of Juninho (think he was voted best player in the league), Ravanelli who scored 30 goals and Emerson.
Anyone who moans about fixture congestion go on soccerbase and have a look at the schedule they had from the February up to the final day, was ridiculous although one of those games was self inflicted as they didn't turn up to Blackburn just before Xmas and had to then play it on the final Thursday of the season.
AbsolutelyBrazil 1982
Came here to say this. Those Mazzarri teams were great to watchNapoli with Cavani, Lavezzi, Hamsik (edit -won the Italian cup but still)
As well as Stoichkov I remember Letchkov from that team, tidy player.I loved watching Bulgaria in the 90s.
Stoichkov was my favourite player outside of United when growing up.
They played beautiful football.
No idea how good the team actually was, but they were definitely exciting for me.
They'd just won the league though so I'm not sure they countDortmund 2012-13
