A feck of a nucleas then eh? Don't be daft, of course we had strength in depth. You don't win leagues without it.</strong><hr></blockquote>

I seem to remember something about us winning one in the eighties using just 15 players all season.

Obviously a rare injury free season. How often has it happened? Probably that one time you mentioned.

How did I know that would mean we were in for a history lesson.

Do you think players today are just a gang of tarts crying off with the slightest thing, or are all the injuries caused by the pace of the game?
I met tommy smith a few years back and his legs where totally fecked from playing whilst injured :eek:

Having agreed that MU have been the best side over the last 10 years I too find it strange that Softy feels that this is not partly due to you having a strong squad. <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>

The two don't necessarily go hand in hand. Go on then Mancing... tell me who these players were that provided such great strength in depth?

I really can not be arsed to trawl through the last 10 years squads - You are daft to say that a team can win the trophys MU did year after year with just a

If you really believe that I suppose it is an even greater compliment in a way.

Yes, Mancing see Manc-ing.... you're obviously very confused as to which team you support. This is evident in the way you brown nose to the locals... ;)

They had a great team, a good unity, some world class players and consistancy. Fergie fecked that up when he failed to get a central defender or two when it was really needed a few years back and then further when he bought Veron.

Softy is right. You had no cover for Beckham or Scholes and no quality cover for Giggs, or the backline. You have been incredibly lucky with injuries over the last 10 years. How many games have beckham, Keane and Scholes missed? soon as they miss them you fall apart. The last time keane was out you missed the title, and this season you are so poor. Had you not been so lucky it would have been interesting to see how you fared.

Also, on another point from this thread, and you Manc fans really not concerned with the state of your team? You have spent bucket loads of money on a small number of players, and shipped out loads more. 2 strikers, and 2 first team centre backs is a worryingly low number.

MAy be one of the stato's could paste in the current first team squad, with first team starts. Other than Barthez, Beckham, g.neville, Blanc, Rio, Silvestre,pNeville,Giggs, Scholes, Butt,RVN,Keane,OGS, I don't think there are many (other than a few I'm sure I missed!).
