Last night we were.......MAGNIFICENT, IMMENCE, AWESOME, SUPERB, HISTORY MAKING, LETHAL. have i missed anything out? Boavista didn't know what hit them. All of europe must be wondering how they can stop us. 
United............
- Thread starter roxyfella
- Start date
Except......... Liverpool's result completely overshadowed ours in the media. You'd think they'd won the CL by the reaction today.
Their result was excellent, yet scouse fans would be the first to criticise United for qualifying with a single win.
Sad thing is, I think they are gonna win the bastard.

that's very magnanimous of you.
d'you think it's all set up for us and you lot meeting in the final?
What on earth does it say about the state of European football if, god forbid, Liverpool manage to flook another European trophy ?
Don't get me wrong, I remember the 80's and could appreciate they were the best team of that era.
It's just the last 12 years have truly spoilt me with too much success.
I guess I should just reflect upon Fergie's 2nd or 3rd full season in charge (87-88)/(88-89) when we only just finished in the top half of the table (11th I think). A big dissapointment considering we'd re-signed sparky that year and finished 2nd in his 1st full season.
I used to have the season review of that year. Wish I still did for contrast. Great goal from Hughsie in a 2-2 against Spurs.

Bring on the scousers , the Gooners, Real, whoever and we'll sort them out in the quarters. With our 1999 pedigree we shouldn't be concerned about anyone least of all the upstarts from merseyside. Time for United to take the step to true greatness.

I tell you it's a very good job you have that pedigree from 3 years ago, I don't think you'd have any chance but for that!
I expect Sheringham, Stam, Yorke, Cole, Schmeical to come to the fore once again.....

I've got the video from 87/88 somewhere; Jesper Olsen was our Ryan Giggs and Brian McClair our Ruud van Nistelrooy that season

And we had Jim (Roy Carrol) Leighton in goal, and striking sensation Peter Davenport.

The best attacking team in Europe against The Manc Defence Muppet Show..

No, but I expect
van Nistelrooy (you know that striker who is top goalscorer in the League AND the CL)
Solskjaer (you know that striker who is the most efficient in the CL)
Blanc (you know that centrehalf who's been terrific this season, and has scored as many CL goals as Heskey)
Keano (you know that midfielder who's been simply terrific for the last 4 seasons)
Beckham (you know that midfielder who's scored 15 goals this season)
and last, but not least
Giggs (as good as any attacking midfielder in Europe)
to come to the fore

Why would Man United bring in more advertising revenue and merchandising?
Doesn't Liverpool's dullness appeal to the general public?

A young Steve Bruce making his way to OT during the campaign
What a signing that was!

Isn't Boavista a decent side? That's the impression I got from Liverpool supporters early on in the season..

They're not bad..
They're not top quality tho..
Clearly, or you wouldn't have beaten them..

The current European champions failed to beat us at 2 attempts. Does that make us MAGNIFICENT?

Nice one

You know your team struggles against the best when you try to make a case for a team from Portugal....

Not trying to make a case for anyone, just found it strange that they've gone from being a very good team to not a decent one..

Liverpoo..........15 draws..
Interesting stat that eh?

Why not do it for wins, which is essentially what is the supposed to be the whole point; winning games..
