United are still the only English side to win both the CL and PL, in the same season, and we've done it twice. That's what defines greatness for me.

How can you call yourself champions of Europe, if your not even champions of England.

If you spoke to any Bayern, Real or Barca fan, they too would agree that the greatest sides they've had won both the league and the CL.

Wether Man City can join that club this season remains to be seen, but I wouldn't bank on it<ok>

You must agree that Liverpool are a great side then with all the trophies they have won that include doubles and trebles?

it was clearly a weird thing to do. why sell Walcott, Giroud and swap Sanchez and ony bring in 1 striker...who cant play in Europe...your best chancd of getting CL football next season?

Walcott needed to move on, he was doing nothing at Arsenal. Sanchez we had no choice about and Giroud was a makeweight in the Aubameyang deal. So I can understand why those players moved, but yes it leaves us short now that Lacazette is injured. Not sure how he picked up the injury tbh ?

The feller reckons everyone bar Utd "fluked" their CL wins or reaching a final in Arsenal's case, John Terry slipping on his arse on the wet surface on his approach taking what would have been the winning penalty and Bayern losing concentration at the end in 99 after bossing the game would suggest otherwise.

But realistically, a club that reaches the final(or wins it)must first qualify over 38 league games, and in our case navigate the qualifying round(s), then get through the group stage, then the knockout stage to reach the final.
So, any ****ing team that wins a final or reaches one deserves it.<laugh>

He scored two the other week too. Glad to see him playing well, he's a decent player and a good finisher. He just lost his way at Arsenal and never really cut it as a CF. Eventually he fell down the pecking order as a RWF too and was stagnating with us. But as I say, I'm really pleased to see him doing well at Everton <ok>

He defo needed the move, but if he carries on as he’s started £20m will look a bargain, we’re playing him wide right of a front 3 but he’s got licence to get in the box. Paired with the right striker I’d be excited.

I hope he keeps it up. His main issue at Arsenal was lack of consistency. One week he'd look like a worldly the next he'd just keep running into dead ends

Fergie defined greatness as teams that have won the CL 5 times. He basically defined Liverpool as a great club. That hurt you bad didn't it?

Spurs did well to come back, but the job isn't anywhere near done.

If Dybala is back for Juve then it's a different opposition for Spurs. He's by far their best player and possibly the best player outside of La Liga full stop.
