united's golden age

i just finished watching a string of youtube videos on Jj's and Tp's blogs. one featured the partnership of Yorke and Cole, one had David Beckham's best assists, one was on Peter Schmeichel, and of course, one on our dear beloved 20LEGEND. and the more i watched, the more convinced i was that the team which one the Treble (which was mostly the same team that went on to two successive titles) was definitely one of the best in the world, and would be a top class squad even by today's standards. forget all the flashiness of ronaldo or the bulldozing of rooney. there was something truly magical about how beckham, giggs, cole and yorke could combine to score some seriously wondrous goals, and how even when not playing regularly, solskjaer and sheringham could read the minds of team mates as though they had never left the pitch. that was magic at its best, and it's very difficult to build a much better team than that

i also more convinced than ever that schmeichel somehow obtained a pair of invisible wings, because some of his saves are really beyond even the laws of physics. stunning stuff
