Opinions, thoughts, comments, on that question.
I was born in 92, so I don't remember too much of 99. But I know we won the Treble and it was the best year in United's storied history, right?
Just for thought, who here is American like me? Or am I the lone Yankee? :happy
Can't wait for tomorrow, eh guys?

The 99 season team i found so much more entertaining... have you seen much of the football we played then?

Ok pal. How are you? Welcome by the way.

I'm American and there's a few other Americans, (Cappy, Grif SA and some others) and about a billion Irish.

In terms of your question, this squad is probably deeper, but XI v. XI its definitely in favor of the 99 side. 99 had the best strike pair in the world, Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Stam, Beckham and Schemichel all in their respective primes, and that's pretty staggering. Not to mention the likes of the Nevilles and Dennis Irwin.

 

[Gary Is God]

There's a few manc's too

 

[ManUnitedintheUSA]

No, actually I haven't.
:frown:
Is there a place online where I can watch classic United matches and current ones. See, I don't have Fox Soccer Channel, so I've caught maybe 4 or 5 United PL matches this year, and all the CL matches.
Isn't there a program called sopcast or something?
How does that work?

Ah, thanks for the welcome.
That does sound pretty talented.
(P.S.: Nice flag. Does it piss the Brits off much? I mean that was our battle cry against them lol Or doesn't it get attention?)

Lol, oh yeah.

I feel as if I'm drowning in a pool of Guinness when I'm on here sometimes though.

Go to veetle.com, and download the player there, the matches are usually on there. There's also a section on our forum with links to each match that will be put up on matchday.

As far as the flag goes, I don't really know if it pisses the Brits off, they already have being British to be pissed off about so I don't know if they really have time to get upset about it lol.

The main difference between the two squads, apart from the stronger 99 midfield, is the shooting. This current squad tend to try and set it up, whereas the 99 team would have many more shots on goal and, subsequently, more goals per game.

 

[scottsati]

i would actually say as a whole this is the stronger squad in terms of depth,variety of players on show and the variety of skill in it however on the pitch and the first eleven that is put out i still prefer what the '99 team had to offer as a first eleven

 

[sweet fa]

the current squad has a whole is certainly utds strongest ever , but from what they did on the field the 99 version were actually better the football was fast free flowing and a lot more goals were being scored throughout the team . but the best utd team i have seen by far was the team from 94 who were totally awesome in every department and you should really try and get a dvd of that season , its like watching the phoenix rising from the ashe's.

 

[Richie]

The 1st 11 in '99 was undoubtably better, as was the style of football. However in terms of overall squad depth this year probably beats it.

Thanks so much everyone.
It will be nice to catch the final stage of PL race from here on out.

the team of 99 were better, you had keano who controlled midfield, you had scholes who was in his prime as too was giggs, you had beckham, 9 times outta ten his free kicks would go top corner, you had cole and yorke who in my opinion are uniteds best partnership up front,you had the super sub solskjaer, who was one of the best finishers around, teddy who was a proper centre foward, you had two great full backs in neville and irwin, with ronny johnsen and stam in cb and the legend schmeichel in goals

 

[TheManc]

The squad is miles ahead of 1999.

The team however isn't as good.
