That's terrible for a 38 year old. Two league titles. Absolutely embarrassing.
? Is my maths off or something? Isn't that 6 league titles? 4 with Ajax + 2 with ManU? + 2 champions leagues 13 years apart. :eek:

Such parochialism , the great Ajax sides of the past played football that teams like Juventus can only aspire to !
Nor have they ever felt the need to bribe officials in order to win leagues !
Back on topic I don't think I have seen a better keeper than Shay Givens in recent years - now there's parochialism for you.

Gigi Buffon is on another level only one who's kind of close is Iker Casillas. Buffon doesn't make those little mistakes that separates the good from the best. Casillas still makes the odd mistake Gigi doesn't. Casillas made 1 really good save against Italy in the euro and suddenly hes better then Buffon who was the reason Italy had made it past the group stage, anyone who disagrees with me doesn't have a clue.

Yeah right , it's better to be Verona who have one Serie A than Ajax who have won several championships and European Cups.

true, let him talk.
The dutch league at that time was not so bad as it is now, they had players like Ronaldo in it. And Ajax crushed every team in Europe, so if the dutch league wasn't so good, why did Ajax slaughter every champion of every country (including AC Milan 3 times in one year).
And what about the CL final in 1996, Danny Blind said one time: It looked like those Italians where full of dope when I looked at their faces.
And a few years later, JUVENTUS where charged by using drugs.

Van Der Sar has 'only' 6 titles, because he chose to play at Fulham for several years.
He is an extra defender, and a goalkeeper in one.

Please. Everyone knows that Riccardo Agricola drugged your players to give you an unfair advantage over your rivals. It's practically common knowledge whether you like it or not. Whether it was him acting alone or not is irrelevant.

Speaking of which we saw yet another Reina howler at the weekend.

Turning to slander in order to deflect attention away from your cheating club? Thanks for highlighting your guilt.
Duck Manson

I wouldn't call it slander. Atleast it was proven Fergusons players used drugs. No one has proven that any Juve players did.

More lies but what else did we expect from a Juventus fan?

I don't care what you expect. Facts are facts. Rio Ferdinand is a doper and that's been proven.

The only thing proven about Ferdinand is that he was too busy shopping to remember to take the test. He passed the tests a day later and subsequently offered hair samples to prove his innocence over the longer period that particular test provides.
How does that relate to Ferguson propogating the use of drugs amongst his players?

Yeah he passed the test a day later after he'd been to his doctor to flush out all the steroids.
