Premiership Highs and Lows - Manchester United Football Club

Most fans of English football and the Premiership in particular would agree that Manchester United have certainly had their share of "high" in twelve seasons since the Premiership began ...... .. .. and what is considered a "low" by Utd fans (such as finishing third behind Arsenal and Chelsea) that in fact be considered an important "strong" by most of the clubs! This is what I consider some of the major high points of Manchester United and downs since the inaugural Premiership season was launched in 1992: Highs *** *** From a total of only twelve seasons, man. United lifted the Premiership trophy no less than eight times, and especially high, has been taking the title in the Premier League Premier season.United have come to the Premiership and FA Cup 'double' on three occasions ..... .. in 1994, 1996 and 1999.They have won more games in the Premiership, won more points and suffered less defeats than any other team in the league. Manchester United have scored the highest number of overall goals as the Premier and started actually also holds the record for most goals in a season: 97 received in 1999-2000.United also holds the record for most goals in one match league they did in March 1995 with a 9-0 victory against Ipswich ....... a game in which Andy Cole scored five goals Lows .*** *** An important recent low at Manchester United came at the end of the 2003-2004 season, when not only finished outside the first two (the maximum points fifteen behind winners Arsenal), but also matched the lowest point total ever by a season.How many can forget the famous flying Frenchman Eric Cantona kung fu attack on a Crystal Palace fan in 1995? The kick may have been at home in a Bruce Lee movie, but earned him a suspension of eight months, which many believe was an important factor in the United losing the title that season of 2003 there were two Rovers.In Blackburn little importance to Manchester United: The first was David Beckham leaving Real Madrid. His transfer fee was good for 25 million U.S. banks, but not so good for the team as there is no suitable replacement waiting to step into his shoes. The second was defender Rio Ferdinand, the record 30 million signing from Leeds United, being banned for eight months for missing a routine drugs test.
