OIt’s an impossible comparison

If you look at the ball playing ability of Ederson
The strength and speed of Walker vs Neville
The technical ability of the likes of Bernardo Silva
And the incomparable scoring record of Haaland

So then we enter the realm of, Uniteds 99 winners with todays fitness and technology. And the conversation becomes even more of a pie in the sky.

what i've found odd on here over the past 16 hours is that there has been a hell of a lot of gloating over this treble, but none of it from city fans.

there has, however, been a long queue of opposition fans - mostly the wums, a few from liverpool, curiously a lot from arsenal - who seem to have got nothing at all out of last night other than an opportunity to have a dig at united, how united's treble is tainted, how saf is second-rate, all the usual nonsense, eg

https://www.ja606.co.uk/articles/viewArticle/455316

and that's one reason why, personally, and in terms of my enjoyment of this site, i don't mind seeing city win, because their fans are generally still of a "we won something, isn't that great, let's enjoy it" mind, whereas some others on here are more of a "we won something, let's go and rub other people's noses in it, especially united fans" mind.

I think what you might be saying is that City fans are still Mancs.

And scousers are scousers and cockney bellends are cockney bellends.

Forgot grealish is a left winger actually. Ok then.
Grealish would still be in tears when he realises he isn't going to get a free kick every time he falls over, and scholes will be getting away with kicking the sheet out of him
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scholes wouldn’t get anywhere near him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I find it funny that grealish has apparently had a fantastic season, yet he's produced pretty awful numbers.
Antony has had a terrible season according to our fans and his numbers are similar to grealishs numbers.

When you add in that we have had weghorst and martial up top for us and city have had haaland, it looks even worse for grealish.

Now now, don't get sensible Melts. Great win yesterday and a great season, you must be, well, ecstatic I suppose.

Thanks mate, yes, was very emotional last night!

United's 'treble winning' performance was superior, and not just because it was the first, but because to be fair the competition across the epl and europe was at a much more generally equally competitive level.

We have to be honest here MCFC are just so much better than any of the opposition, and their main opponents are their own motivations. MUFC have only rarely had that kind of luxury, and 1999 wasn't one of those times.

In a nutshell, United really had to work much harder than MCFC. They always do, and have always had to - regardless of the levels MCFC have played at.

Old Trafford REALLY is a theatre of dreams for professional footballers/coaches - as well as the fans

99 was Uniteds 5th title in 7 seasons, as was ours 😁

Brilliant - Celtic's QUAD still reigns supreme on that basis - cheers!

Ive watched about 20 of your games this season.
He's been alright. Overrated by the English media as usual.
He is really good at positioning himself well to get fouled and win lots of freekicks.

He has no left foot, something Antony gets blasted for, having no weak left.
He's slow, doesn't really score or assist much despite having the highest scoring team in the PL.

Fantastic season tho.
