I don't understand that? You agree that the 'invincibles' were the greatest team but then say that the side of '02 was better? The Premiership started in 91 (?) so what the difference between a side and a team? :?
greatest 'Prem' team

So who was the best '02 or '04? I think thats the question JD.... '04 cant be the "greatest prem team" and yet '02 was "our greatest side", can it?

there are multiple competitions
the Premier League is one
I think the best Prem season a side has had is the Invincibles of '04
(IMO it's the best English League season ever)

ManUre '99 and Arsenal '02 are two sides I think were better overall, when including other competitions...

Why didn't you say? :lol:

So you're saying that the team of '02 were better in all competitions overall then the '04 team ('The Invincibles')?

The Invincibles were the best League team ever but Utds 99 team were the better team overall the treble proves that

I still blame Wenger for not achieving anything in Europe with the teams of 2002 to 2004.Especially in 2004 when Porto won the CL

who is the "greatest Premier League Team"
my answer - the Invincibles, because the question specifies "Premier League"

in '04 we didn't really get any injuries

our '02 double was against all the odds: 3 keepers won medals!, Sol played with 100 different defenders (8 won medals ffs!), refs were desperate for ManUre to win it - gave us loads of reds (12 in all comps!!) and them 25 mins Fergie time whenever they needed it.
We scored in every game and stayed unbeaten away. Immense. Our greatest squad performance.

Don't worry JD, I knew what you meant. Although I was going to clarify things, it was just too much fun seeing the other guys struggling with the concept. :lol: :lol: :wink:
