StarBoard: it's shocking to hear that from a degree holder. this is like saying suarez left because of sturridge or sterling. even when ruud left united, he still won the pichichi for real madrid. i think nyabinghi is high on paraga as usual. raumdeuter: it is based on performance but that UEFA ranking does not paint the full picture. it's a disrespect to england that they might lose their place to italy when england has actually contributed more in the last 10 years than any other league in the history of the champions league. FINALISTS in the last 10 years 04/05 - liverpool + ac milan 05/06 - arsenal + barcelona 06/07 - liverpool + ac milan 07/08 - man utd + chelsea 08/09 - man utd + barcelona 09/10 - bayern + inter milan 10/11 - man utd + barcelona 11/12 - chelsea + bayern 12/13 - bayern + dortmund 13/14 - real madrid + athletico madrid 14/15 - barcelona + juventus an english team played the UCL final 8 times spanish team 6 times, german team 4 times, serie a 4 times.... i agree english teams have not exactly covered themselves in glory in the last 3 years or so but that should not rubbish their achievements entirely. there's no other league that has dominated the champions league finals like english teams have done in the history of the reformed champions league. english teams deserve some credits. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 7:16pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
^^ UEFA and everyone give more credence to what happens recently than what happened 10 yrs ago Its like Saying AC Milan or Liverpool is a better team CURRENTLY than Atletico Madrid or Bayern because AC Milan won the CL 2 times between 03-07 and Liverpool played 2 CL finals in that time frame WHen EPL clubs were tops they were ranked 1 now they are failing and are properly named 3rd maybe soon to be 4th in the ranking 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 7:21pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
raumdeuter: 5 years is a small sample size in comparison to 10 years. like i said, the english league's performance has dropped drastically in the last 3 years but that shouldn't be a yardstick to give their slot to italy or even germany. 8 english teams played in the finals in the last 11 seasons......do you know any other league in europe that has dominated it more since 92/93 season? |

coogar: If we use 11 seasons ago then AC Milan and Liverpool should be some of the teams to fear with thoughts for Deportivo(who have relegated since then and comeback). . About 11 seasons ago Man City was battling division 2, PSG has no hope 11 season ago Barca hadnt won anything in Europe and were struggling in UEFA cup WHat has ranking in 2015 got to do with performances of 2004 when Ronaldinho and Shevchenko were the best players in Europe If they ask you to rank Nigerian musicians now 2015 you mean we should rank Tony Tetuila, Jazzman Olofin and Idris as tops not Davido, Wizkid and Olamide? 1 Like 1 Share |

coogar: 5 years maybe small or not but it is what is currently used by UEFA and as a result our performances in that last 5 has been declining badly. if we continue at this rate for another 2 then, we would lose that 4th spot deservedly. 1 Like 1 Share |

nyabinghi: Your stat wouldn't be complete if you don't add Assist Rooney has only played number 9 once in 2009/10 and he outscored Nistelrooy's best scoring season in the EPL. Nistelrooy best scoring season 2002/3 with 25 goals. Rooney scored 26 in 2009/10. Rooney should really be compared to Cantona because they both were 10. There, Rooney outperformed Cantona. Rooney even played in the wing almost throughout his first season for United.

I know its still early but I have a feeling Bournemouth, crystal Palace and leicester will cause problems for traditional top teams this season not to talk of the other teams. We would need to be careful with them. MrTA: Especially when Man u have not faired well in last 5yrs with our brothers Arsenal who have made it a tradition to finish second regularly in their group and then fall out in the round of 16 as if its a curse. Chelsea is trying. |

codedguy1:This coefficient palava isn't a problem The epl teams will do well in the UCL this season. We'll take the 2nd spot back from germany sef. We just need liverpool and spurs to have semi decent runs in europa. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:17pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
[quote author=nyabinghi post=37455054][/quote] If Rooney didn't play behinf Heskey, Crouch, Defoe, Carol, it would be fair to compare him with Ibrahimovic, etc. Rooney has always been a number 10, only recently they started focusing him as the arrow head. Even now he still plays behind Wekbeck or Sturridge. He also played in the wing last year for England and at the world cup. I don't want the arguing but I had to point out these things. Good I came here today. . |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:27pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
In the Champions League, Rooney has scored more than any EPL player crucial stages. If SAF had not been resting him against low European teams, he would have scored far more. Such matches as Roma home, Schalke 04 home etc. SAF rested Rooney. Also many final group matches when we had already qualified. Even in cheap EPL fixtures when we had a UCL game. After we got the job done in Rome, Rooney and Ronaldo were rested while Tevez was asked to play. Against Schalke we won heavily in Germany, Rooney was rested while Berbatov was asked to play the home fixtures. Etc. |

SIRcumalot: United are back in the CL let's hope with oga Plato we come in with a bang as if we never left. Arsenal are in Bayerns group, it seems they will finish 2nd again and end up getting booted out in the round of 16. We don't exactly know what this Chelsea team will look like in the CL. They seem to know how to navigate in europe sha. Man City - I dey sidon look them. They do so well in the EPL and are so dismal in Europe. As per Liverpool and Tottenham, you never know what u will get from those two. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MrTA(m): 8:30pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
Rumours online that LvG has told Hernandez to leave if any offers come by Tuesday. Very annoying how we're losing all these players but no replacements. Particularly in attack. I really believe LvG made a big mistake selling RvP. |

Look for Nistelrooy on this list, you will not see him. Rooney was busy feeding him and Alan Smith.

Lastly, as far as I know, Rooney has the best record in EPL against top UCL oppositions in UCL knockout stages. Only Madrid he hasn't scored against. If only our best goal getter was on the field in a central role at Old Trafford on that night. |
