Sorry I still don't get it. It may have something to do with the time this event took place, but I think going a season unbeaten and 49 games unbeaten is a far greater acheivenemnt especially given the quality of the game these days, and, although it pains me to say it, the Mancs acheivement of a treble in a season is a greater acheivement. So sorry I still don't get it.

Well, I personally don't rate the MU one too highly Atila, it was a final MU deserved to lose. However on the other hand for a team to be able to win a european final without Scoles and Keane is a great achievement, and the semi final win over Juventus (Zidane etc) was something else.


Arsenal's 49 games is a great domestic achievement, but ultimately it came to nothing.


I'd put Liverpool's Bob Paisley team top of the UK teams as they dominated home and in europe over an extended period.


However in terms of what you can achieve in one season, there's a lot to say about the team that achieved something first, ahead of the others, against the odds, and won the Scottish League, FA Cup and League cup treble at the same time.


As Bill Shankly looked up to Jock Stein, he said, "Jock - you are immortal" and he knew his football Atila. He did what all the other managers wanted to do and he did it first.

You are clearly missing the point. To go 49 games unbeaten is an acheivement which I don;t think will be equalled in my life time or many life times to come. Sorry, I still don't get it.

Wow MM, you don't rate the treble? you have gone down in my estimations. I think the treble and the unbeaten Arsenal season are two of the best acheivements we will ever see. I think the Lisbon Lions did amazingly well and it was a good first for a a UK side but, as has been said, if they wanted true greatness it needed to be repeated. I actually think that Aberdeen's Cup Winners cup win almost matches it when you consider the stature of the team and I'd probably put Villa and Forest up there with them too.

Isn't it funny how Mick thinks the Celtic acheivement is best, Sandperson thinks it's the Man U treble, and Atila thinks it was the Arsenal unbeaten run...


What teams do you guys support again? ;-)


PS. Mick I was only joking with my last post, Inter clearly were not a poor team, I just knew you'd bite.

I did not think I did "bite" Keef - I tried to turn your point to my advantage.


Anyway all agreed - we all support great teams.


SP - I do rate the treble - I don't rate the MU performance in the final so much.

Thing is. I remember watching that match (Celtic v Inter). It WAS an amazing achievement. It was a first as was Spurs being the first British to team to win a european trophy (European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963) and the first team to win the "double" in the last century.

All of the achievements mentioned above - Man Utd's three trophies, the Arsenal's 49 game unbeaten run etc etc you have to take on board the times they were played in and the impact they had at the time and of course the sort of financial backing that certain clubs have these days.

I missed this earlier, during this run we won the league unbeaten, how does that ultimately amount to nothing?

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admits his side need divine intervention to help their title ambitions following another defeat at the weekend. "We've got to get through it and, as I'm doing, pray to God that at the end of season there will be something worthwhile for what we've gone through," he said. Taken from BBC Sport website


You couldn't make it up.

I think Kuyt is one of your best players. Like Ronaldo, players seem to be played out of position in order to accommodate Torres. I thought Kuyt played a much different role at his last club, he certainly wasn't shy at banging the goals in. He even reminded me of Hughes (*spits*) when I first saw him play...

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.

      When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".

      Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
