Congratulations. Just hope a real Madrid fan or an AC Milan fan dont come and join the party though. They have more you know. In Europe you're not the best. In England you're not the best.
You are a classic "thinks football was invented by the premier league". Football was very different back then with some of the foreign leagues being far more competitive than they are now. If it was so easy back then utd should have at least got to the final every time they won the league, did they?
Footballs been around about 160 years but it became a lot more professional in the 90's. Before that thugs ruled on and off the pitch. We didnt win the league for 26 years either so didnt have the chance to qualify and get to the final so I fail to see what point you are trying to make. Prior to our league title drought we had a very good record, blighted by the Munich air crash and also became the first English team to win it.
They are also ignoring my earlier post that even if 4 teams were allowd in between 1969-1985,they would have only qualified 5 times anyway.So I haven't a clue what the **** they are whining about.
You would of won it less had 4 teams from the top leagues been able to qualify you know. Also whats to say we wouldnt of won it 5 times out of 5?
You are delusional. Yeah European clubs would have been running scared at the thoughts of facing rubbish like Pancho Pearson,Lou Macari,Jimmy Greenhoff and Martin Buchan.
LOL KPR......had Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Leeds, Everton, Arsenal, United, Ajax, feyernord and the other major european clubs featured every year in europe you wouldnt have 5. instead the irish champions, the luxumberg champions, the east german champions, the croatian champions and other hilarious teams were involved.
You really are the thickest twat I've ever seen on any forum. The reason they weren't playing brains is because back then they were ****e. Got it? ****ING MORON. Just because they are big teams now doesn't mean they have always been good enough to qualify for the European Cup. Look at your own team in the 70's and 80's for a perfect example. It's really not that difficult is it? Stick to your own board where you can all go and hump each others legs.
These were also some of the teams you played when you won in it in 1968.Or do you still think football was invented by Sky in 1992,and everything else doesn't exist?
Newcastle are one of the best supported teams in this country. Doesn't make them a European great does it??? Can't believe I'm actually responding to your posts.
Ignoring this: "I'm gonna list the champion's league winners from 1992 onwards, and tell you where they finished in their respective national leagues the previous season. United19Red, you say you'd have won more if only the champions from each country were allowed entry. Well: Marseille - 1st Milan - 1st Ajax - 3rd (Milan Runners Up - 1st) Juventus - 1st B Dortmund - 1st R Madrid - 1st M United - 2nd R Madrid - 2nd B Munich - 1st R Madrid - 1st Milan - 3rd (Juventus Runners Up - 1st) Porto - 1st Liverpool - 4th (Milan Runners Up - 1st by default) Barcelona - 1st Milan - 3rd M United - 1st Barcelona - 1st Inter - 1st Barcelona - 1st Only on 3 occasions did a champion not reach the final, one of which was the one United won in 99."
i heard that during the second half ferguson approached the referee and asked him for a ball - when the referee told him there was already a ball on the pitch ferguson replied "yes but barcelona are playing with that one"
What this shows is that the Champions League was set up to be a money spinner for the clubs that haven't won their respective leagues in that time (us included).
you have to remember that the only time a competition is worth winning is when it is won by united - any other competitions are irrelevant in the years when united fail to win them remember united supporters always complaining that liverpool relied on penalty shoot-outs to win cups - no mention of this since 2008
I remember that the Carling Cup was a ''mickey mouse trophy'' untill 2009 and 2010 and then it was a ''major trophy,and their players celebrated as such.
if it was so easy to win, why didn't united win it more often - answer: Because they couldn't even qualify never mind win it. You say we beat teams that no longer exist - you are now playing teams that didn't exist back then - teams come and go but the number 5 still sounds sweet.
