Can't forgive him for not hacking down Giggs that fateful day in 99

Meh it’s one of those things that’s easy to say in hindsight, as I recall Giggs was taken wide and probably thought he wouldn’t score from that angle.

It’s a bit like why didn’t Peter Reid hack down Diego Maradonna

I went into the other room to have a massive sulk when Giggs scored
If Bergkamp had scored that penalty I reckon we'd have done the Double that year. Fine lines...

Possibly although we drew too many games in the league

As I remember the only reason it went to the final day was that United slipped up against Blackburn after we were beaten by Leeds (and despite the 1-0 scoreline well beaten they dominated us from start to finish).

We will never know but Utd were carried to the treble on the crest of a good run of form and games like that semi-final must have boosted them and dented us.
People wank themselves into a frenzy about the treble but there were huge slices of luck in it including that Bergkamp penalty and the way they won the CL Final.
Score that penalty and things could have been very different.

All great achievements in football are laced with elements of luck, the margins are too fine.

I think United’s team from 07-09 was better than the treble winning side anyway.

You don’t win a treble without huge slices of luck

Look at the Champions league final. Bayern absolutely bossed them.

For balance, of course, The Invincibles rode their luck on occasion. There was a game towards the end of the season, after we'd wrapped up the title.
Think it was Portsmouth away. Finished 1-1. Anyway, we were awful. Had the flip-flops on.
In the last 10 minutes one of their players was clean through on goal and hit it straight at Lehmann. Either side and it would have been very different.
As MO said, fine lines...

I did the same when Walcott went on that mad run to set up Adebayor.* It was Mascherano for us who should have taken him out.

And then Babel came to the rescue


*10 years ago in April. Fuck.

That was never a penalty in a billion years either. Babel was versed in the dark arts years before Hazard came along.

Owen's two goals in the cup final were my absolute all time favourites. I ended up in hospital.

Can't believe we fucked that moment up.
