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.

That Everton game

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.

I bet you were still all 'it's over. it's gone. we're £#%&!ed. truly £#%&!ed ' at certain points though

Scholes vs Blackburn is probably my favourite memory of him. I thought we were going to £#%&! it up that day.

HUGE Stretford end goon on that day. you can see it in the footage too.

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!

The Bolton counter attack

The start of an incredible period of domination.

Top wumming from Fergal that

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

Rooney hat trick.

Saha linked up really well with Rooney and Ronaldo too.

Was a great day that, miss Bolton away

Rooney chip vs Bolton still best goal he's ever scored.

Sure they nearly scored similar goal just before it too.

Roma. NFT. What a night.

Highlight of the season....



Saved one too.

4-1 Villa at home that season as well iirc.

Some of the stuff we played that day was fantastic.

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
