Manchester United v Chelsea 05/06

[@charlesmartin2888]

I remembered that game 11/06/05...not to forget!!

[@evervictorious007]

Alan Smith was in beast mode in this game in an unfamiliar midfield role

[@WoblerCz]

Manchester is RED.

[@evervictorious007]

That was what Chelsea have been doing to opponents throughout their dominance under Mourinho. Fergie beat Jose at his own game, scoring then park his own bus but threaten on counters to give the “Special One” a taste of his own medicine. Jose is a specialist is parking buses but Fergie’s buses are more effective than his.

[@MrKAKARONALDOMESSI]

How I wish I could go back to 11/6/05

[@TheSupplementWarehouseLondon]

Reminiscent of Manchester United vs Wolves 2023

[@Max_Ukas]

Daamn i remember it, I was 11 years old)) It was almost impossible to beat THAT Chelsea

[@dawnbroker5156]

Max Ukas, I was ten.

[@thesreerajrulz]

what a match this was for an utd fan. Everyone had written utd off. but could you see the spirit of the team. current team not showing an ounce of it. This match need to be shown to current bunch of overrated players.

[@USCFlash]

they were a great team, but they lost 9 times in all competitions that year....so they were not really *THAT* impossible to beat.

[@mgiyeshebe5422]

I remember also

[@tsimpson318]

They had gone 39 games unbeaten until then

[@vickjr98]

Man that Chelsea team was unreal, beating them must've felt like winning a cup final lol

[@robicenco1]

It did! The two games I compare it to are the 1-0 win at Newcastle in March 1996 and the 1-0 win over Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final in 2004. Both of those teams were close to invincible in those seasons (Newcastle at home, Arsenal in general), and the wins felt like we'd won the world cup. And so did this game - perhaps this one was even more pleasing though. This Chelsea team was machine-like.

[@V.W.91]

Exactly mate..one of the best Chelsea teams of all time

[@yudhabagaskara98]

A bit like beating man city nowadays

[@prometheustv6558]

@@yudhabagaskara98 Except Man City aren’t really that good

[@BradAaronTaylor]

​@AxHaalandFC Nope. Had it not been for Arsenal bottling it, City wouldn't even have won the league this year, lmao. Cech, Carvalho, Terry, Cole, Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Robben, Drogba.. with prime José managing? Forget about it. Chelsea conceded just 15 goals during the entire 2004/05 season. Haaland would get bullied badly. If you can't score, you can't win. Prediction: 0-0 at the Etihad, 3-0 at the Bridge.

[@usmanqazi2967]

Still remember this game. The second half was one of the longest 45 minutes I ever had to wait for.

[@arikcartwright1284]

What a match. This was my first match I was at live. Absolutely amazing atmosphere after the final whistle. Chelsea was a force this year , almost unstoppable. Utd winning this bragging rights. Brilliant

[@nbafun8648]

i wish fifa had classical teams

[@pessimistkai5569]

0:45 look at Ronaldo dribbling vs Joe cole dribbiling.

[@bradleyjamieson7718]

Never mind beating Chelsea (who until then had gone 39 games unbeaten), even scoring against them was an immense feat. I remember the intro before the game, it had a wave of a blue pulsing out of London and Old Trafford cracking up and breaking a apart. This goal and the win was phenomenal.

[@cddb5408]

So Arsenal did 49 (2003 to 2004, ended by ManUtd) Chelsea did 39 (2004 to 2005, ended by ManUtd) ManUtd did 29 (2010 to 2011, ended by Wolves lol) But ManUtd also still have the Champions league unbeaten record of 25 games 2007 to 2009.

[@Tonishog]

Yeah that was the pre match sky promo Bradley. And you had Richard keys talking about how uniteds dominance had never been under so much threat

[@BradAaronTaylor]

I remember this like it was yesterday. As a United fan, a brief respite, against one of the most unstoppable juggernauts of all time.

[@patrickquinn5071]

I'll never forget that game it was such a big win for The Mighty Reds getting some Darren Fletcher was class enough people don't rate him I disagree strongly

[@edmondsimon9220]

Im a united fan but flécher Was à good player not à worldclass like carrick scholes and others

[@jamal1079]

Chelsea were on the third longest unbeaten run in English football history. 40 games unbeaten.

[@jimmyjay577]

I was at this game with my mate and my dad had just died 2 months before. And when the final whistle blew I was in tears cus my dad told me he was proud of me for paying for my trip etc plus every shop me and my mate went to said united were gonna get stuffed then cus Chelsea were too good it felt amazing when we won

[@allenbasker]

The inception of the roman oil brigade . But perhaps one of the best teams in football history

[@patrickquinn5071]

In fact I think this was the wind that kick started everything if it wasn't for this when we would have never worn the Champions League in 2008

[@prometheustv6558]

Yeah this probably lead to us winning the title the following season and then Mourinho got sacked and we beat them in the final

[@lipakjj]

This was on 6th November 2005, the last match before Leny Yoro, United's new centre back, was born. Time flies, damn.

[@rgejsv]

I was at the game, remember Fletcher scoring and where we are you could't see it very well (Thought it hit the side netting). So there was a delayed reaction and then everyone jumps up cheering.

[@hirresheikh1155]

rgejsv me too remember watching that game it was an emotional match alen smith was given man of the match

[@KNDaedX]

Still remember that goal by Fletcher

[@assemblyish]

Remember this delicious header although I reckon it was a header back into the box

[@arntemplar1309]

Back when ronaldo wasnt even top 5 players on the pitch 😁

[@nxtzzz2000]

Throughback when jose mourinho loves to play attacking style :))

[@robicenco1]

His team was quite entertaining at this stage because it still had a fair few Ranieri signings in it....

[@patrickquinn5071]

It was a world class header and a world class goal

[@taufiqidianda3998]

Laga ini jadi tema tabloid BOLA saat itu, dengan judul "Sang Penakluk "

[@JonnyInfinite]

Fergie could see Keane had to go after this

[@barryburton7755]

And why was this then ?

[@YeBush]

Hi,from 2022!)Paul Scholes Incredible,what a player!

[@JumaaNdululu]

Life with out social media sweet 2005/06

[@fredrikrugby]

Your straight ends here!!

[@walzawalt550]

Where was Keane then was he injured??

[@jordanross3180]

Dropped for MUTV video in which he allegedly criticized teammates for their performance in 4-1 defeat to Boro in previous league fixture

[@MrKAKARONALDOMESSI]

With Solskjaer seated at the back with Gary Neville

[@Liveforever898]

He was and always has been an absolute scumbag, a career ender and a Judas to his own country

[@muhammadjabbie9649]

[@redhood1885]

Smith on fire!!

[@jasonfrancis698]

Jose Mourinho said if he was Manager after SAF?He would never had Sold Di Maria, Hernandez and Welbeck (Welcrap)!He should have added Fletcher as a another that should never have been Sold (Big Game Player)!

[@20timesmanunited20]

Fletcher was past it after his illness.

[@muzikology1018]

Jason Francis SAF never signed Di Maria

[@黑黑-c4m]
