QuoteOne of Dalglishs finest achievements was winning a league title with a team of players such as Sherwood, Ripley, Wilcox & Kenna.

Not to mention a young 40 goals a season man called Shearer....

Just debunking the idea that they were a "very good team".........

new devil · January 13, 2009, 11:43:32 AM

THAT SEASON they won the league they were a very good team...dose it not take a very team to win the league

LL yea that was year nearly sure it was moscow..they were wearing that horrible red/black jersey

magpie seanie · January 13, 2009, 11:49:45 AM

I wouldn't call them a "very" good team but they were really organised, tough to score against and when they hoofed the ball forward Shearer terrorised defenses with his pace and power. Wilcox delivered great set pieces for the likes of Berg, Hendry and Sutton to attack. They were compact and not too flashy and had a gameplan that they stuck to. United handed them that title though several things that happened in the run in would make you think that Blackburn were just meant to win that year.

Did United get 'nervous' and 'fold'?

magpie seanie · January 13, 2009, 01:05:06 PM

Not that season. That only happens to teams who haven't won it before/in a while e.g. United did when Leeds won it in '91-92 - both teams folded but Leeds just fell over the line ahead of United (largely dueto big Eric). Blackburn tied up badly late the season they won it but United had left themselves too much to do.
