Lol. Ricky, just give them their props. This is an incredibly talented team. Much deeper than the Galacticos. They can win three in a row because on any given day they can afford to have two or three stars not at their best.
That's exactly it. Today they brought on an £85m player to win the game for them. They have top players all over and it counts over a season as much as at crunch times.
I'd liken their 3 in a row to United winning three League titles in a row, whilst the Invincibles never managed it, despite being a much better team than probably anything United put together. Certainly the teams that won three in a row anyway. What they had that we didn't was deep quality everywhere.
