It's also arguable that Chelsea are more focused on the CL too, the motivation factor is significant I agree and we look more hungry for it than we have in a good while.

A question Juni posed on MSN the other day for you now, which United player do you most fear being injured? I answered Scholes fwiw. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

same here. IMO scholes has been the premiership player of the season so far. so good.

It's him or Ronaldo, certainly. I'd go for Ronaldo more because i'd slightly favour a midfield of

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">Ronaldo Carrick Giggs Park </pre>

over

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">Park Carrick Scholes Giggs </pre>

With the former even giving us the option we've all talked about for a while of Rooney coming into midfield in the middle were that to be deemed neccessary, especially given his finishing at the minute. Allied to that, there's more likelihood (although it's all relative) of us getting a central midfielder than a wide player in the transfer window.

Tbh, I didn't give a toss at the time. Winning the European Cup removed all other issues to the back of my mind. But then, I was only 12 back then.

Getting demoted by them (The Bitters) was a much worse thing to happen. Denis icon_frown.gif

Club > country, but you don't have to hate England to be a United fan. I'd prefer England won the World Cup for instance to us winning the Carling Cup (in part because of United's England players tbf). FA Cup vs World Cup I'm stuck on and undecided. League / CL >>>> WC.

I didn't 'get' the 93 thing at all - I was young and had only followed the club from 1990 onwards where we'd won three trophies and been a 'good' team, so it was only a matter of time in my eyes. Older reds I know were unbelievably emotional though. And I LOVED Pallister scoring as well :*******)

'96 was special for me - the pain of being at the final the year before hadn't fully gone away until James came for it and then CANTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

'99 being there when we beat Tottenham was unreal, but also had a sort of 'half-done' feeling to it - didn't celebrate the championship too much because we knew we'd got the others coming.

'03 was quality. I didn't see as many of the good games that year though, so a little bit of a let down. Was in Leeds though when they beat Arsenal to stay up and win us the league, had a BELTER of a night.

This year would be quality, but would have Glazer hanging over it imho.

Had the assessment days yet mate? How did they go?

I care about the domestic cups if we get to the semis/final, before that they're merely exercise for the squad players/a chance to blood the young players.

Once we're at the business end though I do like to win, any trophy is better than none.

Oddly I probably like the Carling Cup more than the FA Cup because we do get to see the young players and all the games are night games icon_cool.gif

Cannot STAND the media hype. The thing is they do it so much it just takes on an almost apologetic, defensive tone. Harping on and on and ON about how it's still the greatest cup competition in the world just goes to prove in a peverse way that it isn't.

Agreed but that was more because we utterly battered them and the fact that it was Arsenal, rather than the competition name for me.

You are NOT going to like me when I turn up for that Charlton game...

On which note, I may try and abuse your (or anyone elses) kindness for Bolton / Blackburn the following month.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">yeah the "magic" regurgitation, as I said in another thread, is b*llocks </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

For all that that's true now, you have to remember it's probably only in the last 10ish years that the so called 'magic' has waned. us doing the double in 94 and 96 were huge achievments, and we went into the 95 cup final believing that it would be some consolation for losing the title. In '90 it was considered a big enough trophy to keep Fergie his job. What you also have to remember is that the vast majority of the journalists writing and speaking about the magic of the cup are of Eddie's generation, let alone mine. So i have some sympathy for the nostalgia for the old magic, especially from people who have had far more time watching a competition that wasn't considered hugely below the league title, rather than the much distant third place it's considered now.
