2006/7 season review

Two enjoyable hours:

Absolutely epic season. Enjoyed it even more than 07/08, the adrenalin of chasing down that title was something else.

Probably my favourite season supporting United.

For me it came out of nowhere too, from being behind Arsenal and Chelsea for the the previous few season and the Ronaldo/Rooney $#*! in that summer and the only signing being Michael Carrick I thought we’d struggle.

That first game against Fulham(?) felt like the best we’d played in years and it felt like we were unstoppable at times.

I remember Chelsea signing Ballack and Shevchenko that summer too. Didn’t think we’d amount to much. Won 12 of our first 13 IIRC.

Disgrace that wasn't a sending off.

It's only when you watch stuff like old season reviews that you realise just how £#%&!ing turgid our football has been for the last 8 £#%&!ing years.

If VAR has done anything good it's that players like Michael Brown, Ben Thatcher etc will soon be eradicated from the game.

Do you think that there's also a fair bit to do with the survive at all costs attitude of the lower teams becoming more defensive and aiming for a point rather than trying to win and leaving themselves open?

Granted, we've not got the likes of Rooney and Giggs any more but we can still be entertaining when games are more open, the 9-0 against Southampton, etc.

Absolutely. Scum (35 seconds in).
