Premier League Years 2006-07
SS1 now
probably my favorite title win bar 1993. and 1996. we were so unfancied in the summer. Just couldn't see how Chelsea, who had won 2 back to back titles, wouldn't walk away with it after adding ballack and Shevchenko we had such a small squad and it was probably the last squad we had where the best 11 was a no brainer. Ronaldo was sensational this season. not as profilic as he would become, but he was never easier on the eye imo. |

loved that season
Fulham away - Ronaldo last minute Liverpool away - O'Shea last kick Everton away 2nil down with half an hour left or whatever it was. 3 consecutive weekends iirc (or near enough) - absolute goon overload. Milan at home in the CL semi final was a great night too. Robbed in the FA Cup final & out on our feet in Europe but one of my favourite ever seasons nqat. |

the £#%&!ing state of Sheffield United and that utter @#%&! Neil warnock. all they had to do was get a point at home to a wigan side that had lost seven in a row and they £#%&!ed it up warnock post-match : "I just feel bitter " no shit, mate! |

Ahead of 1995-96 season IMO as our most unexpected title triumph
Chelsea looked unbeatable the previous 2 seasons during which we had played some proper shit on a stick football They then sign Ballack and Shevchenko while we sell Ruud and only really bring in Carrick A better squad (like the following season) and we would have won another treble |

Lot of people saying it was a surprise
The second half of 05/06 United had really begun to click with 10 wins on the trot or some shit, and the league cup final was a huge lift. Tough decisions on Keane and RvN had been made by the summer of 06 and the WC gave us a another shit storm to fight against as well We'd also signed Carrick, vastly underplayed signing (on here) at the time at the height of the anti-Glazer/FCUM sideshow. We had a 15 man squad plus the likes of Ole, Park and later Laarson, all 3 who were slated by the £#%&!wits as finished or shit, but all 3 played a big part at key times. If you look at our squad you might say it's not that deep, but there's a dozen top class players in it, some of them at or just below world class: Ronaldo, Ferdinand, VDS, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Heinze, Neville, Rooney, Scholes, Giggs, Laarson, Saha... we also had decent cover in most positions and the best manager in the world at the time... I always thought we were going to challenge for the title |
