fate-fell-short Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 How was the squad worse then? The 2005 squad was: Rooney VanNistelrooy Giggs Keane Scholes Ronaldo Evra Vidic Ferdinand Neville VDS With Rossi, Forlan, Pique, Solksjaer, Tim Howard, Saha all as subs.

Scott. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I miss that team Class from Bilbao clapping off Giggs, fair play to them, hope they win it, they've fucking smashed us all over the park. Sell everyone, buy Bilbao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fate-fell-short Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 And that was with Giggs, Scholes, Van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, Neville all pretty much in their prime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear you didn't watch Man United during that period, Roux did clearly, he knows. It was the rebuilding period before Fergie built the 08 CL winning team. You have a Keane that is past it. Ronaldo was so raw, Rossi was weak, Forlan was shit, Vidic wasn't even there, Evra wasn't, Piqué wasn't either. There were the likes of Quinton Fortune and Bellion instead.

Rickay Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 The team above was shit, hardly any of those players in their prime and the rest of the squad was crap. Tonight has been horrible. No way Athletic play like that every week?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 If they could actually finish they'd be about 6-0, they've been a pit poor in front of goal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, to add to that Giggs was being hounded by United fans for being finished, Tim Howard was inconsistant (but did ok). Heinze was a liability. Keane and Scholes hardly played together. Vidic and Evra were shockingly bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 woah rooney, san mames clapping to rooney's goal! Great finish and great show from Bilbao fans. Their treatment of Rooney and Giggs tonight show they respect good footballers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Bilbao are so fit, cannot believe how fit they are. Think I love them a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roux Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I hope Bilbao win this comp - they deserve it with their style of play! They want this ALOT more then us - nothing wrong with our team, we just dont want it as much as them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 They're better than us full stop, there is no way they play this good every week in La Liga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roux Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Rooney should never have played in this match - we lose him, we lose the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fate-fell-short Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've been watching United since 2002, and while they were poor in those years I think you're underestimating how bad the team is currently, and how bad everyone was back then. I'm just saying that at least back then they had the players, even if they didn't put it together they at least had the people to field a good team. Now the team is pure shit and just barely getting results, it's the complete opposite now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Really flattering score line for us, should of been at least 4 or 5 tonight for them. I hope City go through now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering a load of the players you listed didn't even play during this period I'll assume that you didn't pay too much attention. The league has much much better teams in it now and you're top of the league as opposed to third. You're better now than you were then. I very much doubt Canada had the best coverage of football back then so easy to see how you got it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
