The greatest ever? Really, I doubt it.
To me yeah they are playing good football and have some okay players but I do not think this is THE GREATEST MAN UTD side ever.
It would be difficult to claim any them the greatest ever considering, in all honesty, they’re a team still currently in transition.
There is only one way to know… chart their progress at the Champions League and Premier League. If they go for the treble or even sweep all the trophies available, then yes, they could be the greatest team ever.
hahahahahaha West Ham 2-1 United wow its defianetly the best united team ive ever seen
Greatest ever hahaha can’t even beat West Ham after all we’ve heard this week was how Tevez would destroy them!
The one thing i can’t stand is gloating Manc’s its got so bad recently that i’ve decided i actually hate Man U more than Arsenal and this is coming from a Tottenham fan!
Then you cannot be a real Tott fan can you. Must be one of those plastics…
Just another one of those’Man U-the greatest’ team crap one should expect from soccerlens. Still the supposedly “greatest” team played really well yesterday and lost whereas the “young pretenders” came back from a goal down and put in 4 goals and the “8 million flop” finally showed what he was all about. No prizes for guessing who I’m talking about…………
I agree with Iqnadirshah…nuff said
You know what I’m really, really tired of?
Arsenal fans (or for that matter, anyone else) who lack the basic awareness to read and analyse an article objectively without resorting to a petty piss-taking contest.
Spiral, iqnadir – you guys have been around for a while – you know how things work here, if you paid attention you’d know that this article is written by a Boro fan, you’d know that it is one person’s opinion and not mine (nor soccerlens – honestly, have you heard me say this yet?), and you’d have the sense to not take the piss on an otherwise well-written article.
You disagree – point out the areas where you disagree and raise a counter-argument. You want to bitch, go somewhere else.
The game at Upton Park has no doubt contributed to Ahmed’s foul mood…………….heh heh
But seriously, this used to be a good place for some independent(meaning personal, not some mere reproductions from other sites or mere echoes of match-time commentaries) articles till a few months back. Ever since the season started there has been one article about the glory of Man U almost every week. For eg. Fabregas vs Anderson. Cmon man WTF? As of now who is better? Any doubt? And now this. An article on Ferguson(who i feel is the greatest manager of all time) would have been better suited than this which has glorified almost every aspect of the team(make no mistake there are some that desrve it, but not everything). Enough?
I agree there is about 1 Liverpool, 1 Arsenal and sometimes a Chelsea one about every month that tell us good the team is doing maybe 2 months but there is atleast 3 United ones a week
iqnadir – nope, it’s pointless piss-taking from overexcited fans that does me in sometimes.
If you learned to read, you’d notice two things:
1) The article is NOT by a United fan, it’s by a Boro fan. If he chooses to wax lyrical about Fergie / United, do you want me to censor him? If you choose to praise Arsenal, should I censor you? Doesn’t work like that, SL was built on allowing writers to air their views, as long as their standard of writing met certain standards. That has been clear from the start, you really should keep the site’s context in mind before throwing around claims.
2) The article IS about Fergie’s dynasty – if you read past the headline, that is. How is a manager’s accomplishments measured? The author chose to do so through the teams he has built. It’s up to him, you’re entitled to criticising him if he’s gotten something wrong, but sitting down and bitching about how SL is the altar where United is worshipped is unfair, both to the hard work I’ve put in over the last 2 years and to the several dozen writers who contribute to Soccerlens (many who hate United with a vengeance).
As for the Fab v And article, that was a good conversation topic, and IMO it’s good to analyse and compare players at different stages of their careers. It fostered a debate, some of it intelligent, which was good for SL.
If you disagree with something an author says, by all means, pipe up. If you disagree with why an article is being run, then mate, either email me or take a few minutes to reconsider. Anything else (especially complaining here) is unfair to the author who’s worked hard on this article.
LF – you’re just joining in, aren’t you?
There should be votes in comments like reddit, I’d downmod you for throwing fuel on an hallucinatory fire…
Why do you all hate united so much?liverpool fan thinks that united should never lose a game?west ham are decent opposition,they gave both arsenal and us the double.And where are liverpool in all this.still wishing for a title that isnt going to come!
Actually to be honest united articles have been scarce recently on soccerlens.its just these jelous fans who I wont name…(liverpool fan)do not want to hear nothing about united that says anything good about the team and as soon as that happens they start complaining.how typical.The article I found to be brilliantly written.Top stuff.
A Middlesbrough fan? First I know of that Ahmed
No real alleigance, in all fairness.
Ooops the great liverpool continue to drop points!
whoops
I hate to do this, but no choice. Remember Ahmed the article that appeared about Man U’s christmas party plans. When I vehemently thrashed it(the article and the team), you pointed out how the Gunners were celebrating their christmas(by donating their wages of 1 week for charity). It really takes something for a player at Arsenal(who doesnt get paid that much) to do that because its his earning(and which sad to say was made fun of by many HERE at soccerlens). Compare that to splashing out money at whores and dance girls. Is there something to think about? And did the countless Man u fans’ comments here also show us something? And finally what came out of all the partying? A rape-charge(which has not been proved, I know), Rio getting blasted by Fergie and Fergie coming out openly against the players’ party culture.
woah is dat a comment frm liverpool_fan? i havnt heard his shit tlkn for ages! he seemd to go all quite afta united beat liverpoo!! well done liverpool you guys will so win the league wen u cant even beat any top 4 team AT HOME! keep it up & for sure ul have to wait another 17 years for the title lmao yeah united lost vs west ham and? we lost vs them twice last season and look were we ended up..CHAMPIONS mate. Wot do u want frm a side whos manager had a touchline ban nd players like scholes, van der sar, rooney, gary neville, carrick, park, silvestre are unfit or injured? I mean i see liverpoo fans crying over their one player injured, agger lmao imagine they had injuries like united or chelsea and even arsenal! atleast we dnt struggle to beat bottom club derby with our first team out lmao hhahahaa
& re:# 19
wots ur point abt dis chirstmas party? so wa united players cant have a chirstmas party now can they? must they get it approved from fools like u? or shud we get our party plans approved frm arsene wanker? will it satisfy u then? cant they go out togetha once a year nd have a good nite out? yeah maybe they went overboard but ferguson has it under control. dnt u ppl knoe da media by now? all overexaggerated stuff to get readers…DUH! wow arsenal donated their wages and? united players dont just donate just once but they are partners with the UN nd united have UN amasadors like giggs and solskeajr nd fortune was one too (just to name a few) and they went around helping kids out in 3rd world countries and so what? you want us to brag on abt it or sumfing lmao & ul b surprised by the amount arsenal players get paid..i dono why u think its very little..they are a top team in england well atleast they are considered as one, and they shud & most prob do have good amonut of cash for the wages set aside..i mean arsenal isnt like liverpool who have cheap owners and cant afford things like players in the transfer window lmao
whenever you’re going to thrash someone’s team you’re going to get a reaction. So if you have a bunch of manchester united fans – all of them who knew that this was a potential PR disaster – making the best of the party news, and you jump in with a two-footed tackle, so to speak, you’re going to get lashed back at, which is why I made light fun about Arsenal kids being boring.
Is there something to think about? Yea – the party could have been handled better. It’s easy to say that in hindsight that it shouldn’t have happened, but I think if it had been dealt with better then no rape charges would have occurred (I still stick with the ‘boyfriend caught his girl cheating and the girl lied about it’ story). Should the money have been spent somewhere else? Why not, although what gets lost at this point is that many United players are involved in charitable causes.
Rio himself supports worthwhile causes – an anti-racism campaign and a footballing school in africa being just two of them.
If a United fan went to an article celebrating Arsenal’s 4-1 win and pointed out that Fabregas rolled around like a girl, he’d get a lot of shit for it. It works both ways mate.
& yeah sir alex said its his best squad ever. I think he knows best maybe because he sees them in traning everydai and knows all the behind the scenes stuff we dnt knoe abt. yeah okai maybe we started the season slow but we havent had our full first team at all this season. i mean we havent seen gary nev nd scholes got injured early too..maybe we shud wait nd see how the squad goes then maybe to draw comparisons instead of acting like fools like liverpool_fan and start judging now. People go oh yeah the team of the treble is the best ever…well go look at how many losses united had tht season nd trust me ul b surprised! it was one of the worsts starts for fergie ever dat season and? dat didnt stop him frm winning the treble!! i say skillfuly and techniquely dis is uniteds best team but i guess we can wait nd see after a period of time to say if it was the best team ever in terms of winning stuff or not but then again u have to see dat da competion is much tougher compared to what it was back b4 like chelsea didnt have tht much cash or man city or liverpool nd there wasnt owners who were rich nd yeah i guess u all understand wa im saying lol
This is a vid for arsenal fans who think their team is oh so clean and wonderful and amazing and so well behaved:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbnPm_thVOk
okay to be fair its an old vid..nd plus the players all shown their do not play anymore for them but still its under the name of Arsenal Fc and they were all playing with the arsenal shirt on.
My point was about the inumerable articles about Man U and how each of them glorify every aspect about the club(which I think is quite puerile for soccerlens), not about how they spend their christmas/new year/thanksgiving….
I just picked two examples to show that. Understood?
Inquan…what to you want then?Do you want more articles to be written about the ” great arsenal” side?or does it hurt you that there are much more united fans than arsenal?Jeez arsenal fans so bloody annoying.
I guess that means you do agree on what I said initially(the one about the articles’ content) and perhaps you did (unintentionally though) point out the reason for that also. Thanx.
No more replies from my corner, Wish everyone here and everywhere a HAPPY NEW YEAR
Well done Shoban Khan i don’t think i’ve ever seen the English language butchered quite like you’ve managed.
Its nothing personal but if you see post 5, then second paragraph applies perfectly to you
I agree with Ahmed and John Tucker that some of the venom that is posted about Manchester United in the comments. I am a United fan but I am objective enough to realize several things.
1)Arsenal have one of the best young teams in the world and play some amazing football.
2) Liverpool are on the up with such new talents as Torres and Babel.
I also would like to point out the Cesc does seem be developing a nasty habit of rolling around in agony as evidenced against Everton and Chelsea. I think he is a great talent and don’t like to see such things anymore than when Cristiano Ronaldo used to dive for Man U.
Mental Mickey are you bashing United because of the fact that Berbatov seems to be eyeing a move to United? Just wondering since there is no logical reason for all of your anger.
Happy New Year to all.
