Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

aww, bless.
Were they that "good"? Yes they were ..
Was Bjorn Borg a "good" tennis player? Yes he was ..
Was Cliff Thorburn a "good" snooker player? Yes he was ..
Were these successful sportsmen "good" to watch?? WERE THEY feck!!
Liverpool stank their way to success. They made the present day Chelsea team look relatively swashbuckling! Truly awful grinding football! Dirty bastards too!! The backpass rule was amended because of them ff`sake!
Pah!!!

We were superb
Our side including Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge was probably the best attacking side I've seen in this country. Passing and movement coupled with superb individual ability

Unfortunately they were that good!
thats what i remember most about liverpool in the 80's
With all due respect, there's no contest. We won 4 european cups in the space of 7 years. United have won 2 EVER. So the levels of dominance arent even close.
You've not seen many then.
Seriously, Liverpool were not a swashbuckling gung-ho side of the type that epitomises attacking, but they were very efficient. Good at what they did, but at times were very negative. I think that part started under Dalglish when they would regularly be in the attacking corner and gradually pass the ball back to Bruce Dropalot.
At times they were good to watch just for the sheer efficiency of their passing and some of the players were excellent to watch; e.g. Dalglish, Barnes, Johnston
couldn't have been Rush, he didn't score against United ever until 1992, when it actually mattered to us! The he scored once more, can't remember him scoring more than two versus us though
Didn't Molby score a hat trick of penalties once?
Why thank you
I never get involved in this pointless 'which is the best team/club' question, DJS. It always leads to the same circular argument and increasingly bitter and silly posts.
I think the fans expecting too much would relate with betting. Not only that, there are glory hunters too.
No one would hate to see their team win trophies, but I'll agree with the fact that some (you read it 'some', you understand it as 'a lot') people are asking for too much for a club's success. Just because a club is worldly reknown doesn't mean it'll win everything.
