Optimistic Nut Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 The 2008 side had a Champions League trophy to back up their league title win though, and that front 3 of Tevez, Ronaldo and Rooney. That's as good as it gets in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 The 2008 side had a Champions League trophy to back up their league title win though, and that front 3 of Tevez, Ronaldo and Rooney. That's as good as it gets in this league. Except for that one season that Arsenal never lost a match? To me that's much more of an achievement than just having a great front three.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It was more than just a good front 3 mind. I'd take them to beat the Arsenal invincibles. Plus that will always be tainted in my eyes because of that blatant Pires dive which robbed Portsmouth (I think?) of a win there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it might have been the year before the Tevez/Rooney/Ronaldo triumvirate? EDIT: several years before the triumvirate, infact. Dunno what i'm on about. Meh.

mattypnufc Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Metro radio on twitter claiming 5under1and season tickets offered more value for money than ours. safc 9th nufc 17th Hmmm. I'd love to see how they worked that out. I suppose this equation may help: Free tickets + 7 wins + 25 goals = better value than £390 (cheapest adult student ticket) + 6 wins + 41 goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Giggs? Espanyol have fended off interest from Newcastle to finalise a deal for forward Juan Albin from Getafe. The Magpies were keen on the Uruguayan, but he has now joined the Barcelona club on a free transfer. Albin moves to Espnayol along with fellow countryman Adrian Luna. The Under-21 midfielder arrives from Defensor Sporting Club. Espanyol confirmed the arrival of the Uruguayan duo, who both penned five-year deals. "The Uruguayans Juan Albin and Adrian Luna have become Espanyol players for the next five seasons after agreements were reached with Getafe and Sporting Club respectively," read a statement on the Espanyol website. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/overseas/spain/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/11/05/24/manual_102924.html&BID=256 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
