Which is the greatest side in English Football history?
Wednesday, 16 July 08, 04:12 PM · Comments(22)
There have been so many great sides, during many different eras of the English game... But putting bias to one to one side, which team is the greatest? Obviously the likes of Manchester United have dominated the modern game, but during the 60's Spurs won the first ever double, during the 70's Leeds were a force to be reckoned with & during the 80's Liverpool were the team to beat. Having said all that... If you had to choose one side that was the best, who would it be? Maybe Manchester United when they won the Treble in 1999? Or even dare i say it the Arsenal team, that went 49 games unbeaten? What do you reckon? Your views please...
But remember try remain impartial if at all possible & keep in mind this isn't just about who has won the most trophies, or who has been the most successful team... No this is about "pure" Football... What the Dutch call "Total" Football... & who plays the beautiful game the way it should be played, in other words George Graham's Arsenal won't count here...

Fine then...as i am a spurs fan...the Spurs side on '61 lol...
I knew you were gonna give me that answer Lol.
But to prove i am not biased as i have stated in this post that i want other people to give honest opinions, i will take the lead... Stick my neck out and go for Utd of this season! Any team with Ronaldo in it, scoring 42 goals from midfield has got to be a bit tasty & gets my vote. Salute!
Haha...George Graham...'The man in the coats, blue and white army!' brill...Okay...I've changed my mind...the united team that won the treble...played beautifully...got a bit lucky in CL, but still great!
Cheers Adam, i think i have made things more clear... For everyone Lol

I would have to say Manchester Utd...Liverpool is also up there, but Man U consistently perform and always have done...they're the true great of the game...But even though all of that, it has to be Tottenham
I would say Arsenal because even if they don't win alot, they are still the best team to watch : the set peaces the passes everything is nice with this team. All they need is a good goalscorer.
Of course Manchester United is still the best at the moment.
Remember guys this is about the team that both wins, and plays in the right manner just who wins the most.
but otherwise probrably Man Utd the season they signed Yorke from Villa and he and Andy Cole were up front (its just coincidental villa were mentioned again!)

This debate is not about who has been the most successful side ever, otherwise it would be a forgone conclusion! (Ie; between Liverpool & the Mancs) This is about which team performed, so well that respective season... That they were classed as the greatest football side... For football played.
As an example some people said the Arsenal side that went 49 games unbeaten, were the best team ever? At the time Terry venables was asked that question... To which he replied; no the Spurs side of 61" were the best ever.
This is all the beautiful game my friend, and about who plays the purest most exillerating Football. Internationally the Dutch created Total Football and so forth...
