Ah, but who played the better football and who was the best to watch.? as great a team as MON's were, I think this team plays a more attractive style of football to watch.
Remember towards the end of his term as manager that the crowds were down and the was rumblings about them not being exciting to watch. you can't say that about this team.
Anyway, what ever your opinion, it's a great "problem" for us to have, debating between two of our great teams. joy

Man for man I still think the MON side wins. In simple terms, that team had Henke, this one has nobody close.
The two teams are not comparable in style in my opinion. O'Neill recruited man mountains and put a lot of emphasis on physicality. Of course we still had Lubo, Henke, Thompson etc., who were fantastic footballers.
He always like a battering ram up front like Hartson or Sutton, although it would be an insult to say that was all they had in their locker. They were also brilliant finishers. Sutton was also a brilliant partner to Larsson. On their day that team could also beat Rangers 5-1 or string 20+ passes together like the Lyon game.
This team don't deserve some of nonsense being written about lack of competition however. Make no bones about it, this clean sweep has sickened those opposed to our club like never before. We have just went through an entire season unbeaten, playing some wonderful attacking football. This is up there with some of the greatest achievements in our history.
