Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Karl-Heinz Riedle - 3 of the greatest forwards in Premiership History. No championships at Liverpool. Alan Shearer - Newcastle runners up in '96, £#%&! all after he joined. Shaun Goater - zip |

I think it probably comes down to relying more on one person and if the theyhave an off day there's less chance of goals coming from elsewhere. Whereas if you have goals from all round the team, one player having an off day is less significant. |

Always got the impression he was never loved as much by United fans as he should have been.
Even @#%&!s like Keane seem to be remembered with more affection than Ruud, who just seemed to be seen as a machine than scored goals. Best genuine striker I've seen at United in 30 years, although I'm sure I'm forgetting some. |

Arsenal upped their game between 2001-2004 so finishing behind them a couple of times was no disgrace. Henry, Vieira, Campbell, Pires, Ljungberg etc. They were a very, very good side. And then the whole Chelsea thing started with them blowing everybody out of the water as far as transfers were concerned. Plus Mourinho came in and took advantage of what appeared to be waning enthusiasm from Fergie. Nicked a couple of titles fair enough, but didn't half stoke up some fire in the fantastic auld £#%&!er Also regarding us winning the league 3 years straight after he'd gone: - Ronnie matured into a world class footballer - Giggsy and Scholesy both enjoyed renaissances in their careers having looked to both be waning previously - We brought in Michael Carrick to play in midfield rather than Alan £#%&!ing Smith - Signed Vidic and Evra in Jan 06 to replace Silvestre and Heinze. Both became world class defenders in their time with us - Van Der Sar played some of the best football of his career at that time Ruud was just in the wrong place at the wrong time imo |

As for Ruud, guy was disgustingly good. Love him. Still devastated over that penalty against Arsenal I am |

Falcao leaves and they become league champions and CL runners up and they were only a minute off from doing the unthinkable tbf. Falcao joins the champions of England this season and now they're languishing close to the relegation zone |

Look the goalscoring records in title-winning seasons of the likes of Teddy, Shearer, Henry, Yorke, Cole, Ronaldo, Drogba, Berbatov, RVP, Aguero, and of course Ruud, for some balance. |
