I’ll bet you hated the 5-0 defeat to Newcastle later on in the season.

I feel the same, and it makes me feel so old. Because I remember football pundits from the mid 90's - early 2000's talking about how great the game was in the 60's & 70's. But there really were class players in the 90's, but today its about fitness & tactics, back then it was about individual skill & creativity, back between 1990 - 2010 there were so many No.10s, playmakers & creative players, like Cantona, Beckham, Scholes, Hagi, Zidane, Bakero, Ginola, Riquelme, Zola, Juninho, Deco, etc... back then it was like watching football, today it's like watching a men's track & field race.

Agreed, loved the UTD kit with the round crest centered in the middle of the jersey. Great kit, great team

I remember my mate insisting he knew someone at OT and that Shearer to United was a done deal. Then, he joined Newcastle.

He followed his wallet.

Sadly people forget because of how it ended with him at Sky but at his peak he was an amazing co-commentator.

Far from it, I remember us losing 3 in quick succession that season, 5-0 to Newcastle, 6-3 to Southampton, and 2-1 to Chelsea. We weren't "untouchable", we were just better than every other team in the EPL at the time.. well, for 20 years :p

Season 97/98 is rebuilding...class '92 still growing...this season arsenal winner EPL with Arsene wenger...After that was the era of Man United ... with an arsenal that was always following

Keane was still pretty young here too

I play 5 a side football and I point if someone is in a better position 😂 it's one of the easier parts of the game, pointing lol.

You said this 9 years ago and football's gotten even worse since then.

Great times

And the same Man Utd side won the league comfortably again!

@@martinbond461 Sadly!

​@martinbond461 Despite the repeat of fixture congestion at the end of the season, which the League promised won't happen again after it cost us the title in 1992.

What a great year, Oasis at Knebworth and Euro 96 in England!

RED KEV back in the day when Manchester United used to make people smile!

Agreed about the post ‘96 excitement. The “Express train to stop at Old Trafford” headlines regarding UTD signing of Poborsky. Liverpool signed Berger. The 15M pound Shearer. Great memories

and then in school everyone was like "what time is it? 5 past Schmeichel"

Gordon Flood fantastic header

Pablo Tupone community shield.

He signed for HIS team do you not get it yet !!! He signed for the 1st United

Lee Hope YEs I know why he did what he did he's a Geordie but what did he win nowt there must be some regret

Why would he have a regret remember he wore the number 9 shirt of nufc / what is every boys dream being born a Geordie!! Captain of club & England at the same time & record goal scoring hero taking over the great Jackie milburn ?? Wish I had regrets like that mate

Lee Hope you must be a Geordie ? He was great a real centre forward but what has he to show for it ? Nothing no silverware nothing what would you rather have medals or sentiment?

I know what you saying mate & yes I am a Geordie mate & in my opinion if it was me yes I would give up all the medals!! Just to live his dream/ you got to be born Black n white to know what it means mate & that's not me being disrespectful to you by any means

It was actually better in my opinion than today. The Arsenal team of 1998 and Man Utd team of 1999 were phenomenal sides and contained better players than Man City currently have.

@@garymitrovic2503 Also, you realise just how many English players teams (apart from Chelsea) had in those days. It was just better that way - it meant more to them and to the fans, and they still played some brilliant football.

@@robicenco1701 Oh my

@@omalone1169you disagree? If so, fair enough. But I don't think you'll find any fans who watched football in the 70s/80s/90s and who also watch it today, who think it's better now than it was then.
