WINNING the FA cup is slightly different than getting knocked out of the CL don't you think?will say it again IN 06 THE OTHER TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE WERE A LOT WEAKER THAN THEY OUR NOW IE BS,POMPEY,ARSENAL,MAN UTD,MAN CITY,VILLA,BLACKBURN so the competition at that time was a lot weaker bar chelsea
And you base this on what ? Lowest league points by a team ...... Derby last season 11.
'06 - 11 teams got OVER 50 points with 6 getting over 60 points, last season 9 teams got over 50 points with 6 teams getting over 60 points ........... hardly a vast improvement there?last years team would easily beat the one from 06
Yet they let in more goals, lost to Barnsley, were lucky to get a draw at Luton, lost to Besiktas, struggled badly against Havant and finished with less points. (Maybe the non-league and the lower divisions are much stronger now too)
Put Torres in the '06 team and it wouldn't even be a game mate.we beat our rivals in the cup - yet lost n the league and even got a right stuffing at anfield by chelsea
You mean like last season when we got pasted at the mancs?
Not worth arguin with him lad.
Completely clueless.
We're the best team in the world and aren't going backwards. That £95,000,000 spent has took us onto a new level.
