Danny 2,051 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 12 years of the Premier League, right up until Chelsea's bastardisation of everything we knew and loved starting winning them silverware. This period saw the greatest ever goal scored in the Premier League... It saw Michael Owen silence my uncle and brother on FA Cup final day... And last but not least, the greatest ever meltdown in the history of sport... *Domestic and European cups included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 955 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 We won five major trophies in that period fair to say , you could include a community shield but no one counts that as a trophy (apart from the United fans after Fergie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Cantona's flying kick Tony Yeboah and his volley in off the bar Vinnie Jones crunching everyone Dalian Atkinson's wonder goal Liverpool vs Newcastle 4-3 thriller Blackburn winning the league!

Smiley Culture 1,650 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I miss the United v Arsenal games. I know I was a kid but it felt like everything else stopped when they were playing and all eyes were on Old Trafford or Highbury. The build up actually built up the atmosphere up more, unlike today where every game is “the best thing ever” in “the best league in the world” and every week is “World’s best, never to be beaten, best ever, Super Sunday”. The looks on the faces of Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane in the tunnel was fantastic and you knew, at some time, they’d be eyeball to eyeball squaring up to each other. It really felt like the two teams hated each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan 16,967 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 That Keown mounting over Van Nistelrooy moment like a monkey on speed is hilarious. What year was that?! 2003? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,664 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Football kits looked a lot better in that era. Some real iconic ones. They were also better quality before the pursuit of "breathable" fabric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Kev. I liked Keegan too. He was different to Fergie. Very likeable, wore his heart on his sleeve although tactically found wanting, he was all about self motivation and players wanting to play for him. And he attempted to play the most attractive way although it probably cost them. His Newcastle team will always be one of the best teams to have never won it.

The 90s prem was the best. Maybe it's because I was a kid because I have nostalgia. Maybe it's because that's when Robbie Fowler played for us and he's my absolute favourite player ever. Either way, the 90s were a simpler and better time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 4,577 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Nobody ever really talks about that Blackburn side. Boosted up by local millionaire and steel money, they had some brilliant players. I've heard anecdotes that they were progenitors of 'plastic' as people accused them of 'buying the league with a credit card [plastic]'. They were the model of the sugar daddy club, but time has forgiven them as it was a local legend that spent the dosh, not a foreign prince or mobster.
