How many English Teams won the real Treble??

iceFatboy SG

Just one burning question, which teams did the treble??

I mean the REAL treble - meaning Title, FA CUP plus European Champion Cup.

Of course I understand in the past, there were milk cup, now league cup, European Cup winners cup. But these don't really count, right?

In my knowledge, I thought, I repeat, thought, MUFC was the only english club to do it in 99. (and yes, we won it due to all the luck in the world on that night, but a win is a win). However, I read that some other English Teams did it too..

I just wish for all other fans to clarify this for me if you could

**Rem, I am seeking historical clarifications, and not attacks on integrity of clubs.

The Treble is a term in football. It consists of winning a country's top tier league and two cup competitions in the same season. The exact meaning varies from one country to another. The cup competitions may be either "domestic" (open only to clubs from one country) or "continental" (open to the best clubs from across one continent).

Only three teams have achieved this rare distinction:

AFC Ajax - The 1972 team won the Dutch Eredivisie, KNVB Cup, and the European Cup.

PSV Eindhoven - The 1988 team won the Dutch Eredivisie, KNVB Cup, and the European Cup.

Manchester United - The 1999 team won the English Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.

Celtic also achieved The Treble as part of their Quadruple in 1967.

P.S. you could wiki the article if you want to, don't need to ask people for it,there are also other examples of trebles hat do not adhere to the stricter definition - team winning three trophies as opposed to winning a league and two cup competitions.

The Quadruple (Football)

To date, only one European team has accomplished the feat:

In 1967, Celtic F.C. won

The Scottish First Division by three points over Rangers.

The Scottish Cup, beating Aberdeen in the final, 2 - 0.

The Scottish League Cup, beating Rangers in the final, 1 - 0.

The European Cup, beating Inter Milan in the final, 2 - 1.

Celtic also won the Glasgow Cup beating Partick Thistle 4-0 taking their tally of trophys to, a world record, five in one season.

Minor Quadruples

Some teams have won 4 or 5 competitions in one calendar year, however this is not considered a quadruple as the trophies were won over two football seasons.
For example, Manchester United in 1999 won the FIFA World Club Championship (and lost the UEFA Super Cup final to Lazio) in the season following winning the FA Premiership, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League.

In this season Manchester United also reached the quarter finals of the League Cup, coming close to a legitimate Quadruple. In similar fashion, Liverpool in 2001 won the UEFA Super Cup in the season subsequent to victories in the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the UEFA Cup.

Liverpool - The 2001 team won a unique treble of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup. The club also went on to capture the FA Community Shield and European Super Cup, making them the first English team to win five trophies in one year.

P.S. All this information, can be found in wiki

The Double

The Double is a term in football, which refers to winning a country's top division and its main cup competition in the same season. It can also mean beating a team both home and away in the same league season. A Cup Double may refer to the winning of a country's two major cup competitions in the same season.

In an English context, it means winning the League (currently the FA Premier League and previously the Football League First Division) and the FA Cup in the same season. It was last achieved by Arsenal in 2002.

Preston North End in 1889

Aston Villa in 1897

Tottenham Hotspur in 1961

Arsenal in 1971

Liverpool in 1986

Manchester United in 1994

Manchester United in 1996

Arsenal in 1998

Arsenal in 2002

Other English Doubles

A rarer double in English domestic football is that of winning the League championship and the League Cup. This feat was first achieved in 1978 by Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool achieved this double no less than three times in succession (1982, 1983 and 1984). The last of these was won with the European Cup, making it a lesser but nonetheless notable treble.

Despite its dominance of the Premier League in the 1990s, Manchester United never managed to accomplish this double, as they usually fielded their reserves in the League Cup until 2005-2006; their closest effort was in 1993/1994, where they won the League and FA Cup, but lost the League Cup final to Aston Villa.

Last archived team are by Chelsea in 2005 when they win the English Premier League and League Cup

The FA Cup and League Cup double was achieved by Arsenal in 1993, when they beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in both games. Liverpool also achieved this in 2001, along with the UEFA Cup as part of their Cup treble.

Leeds United were the first English team to win a double involving European and domestic trophies. It was in 1968 when Leeds won the Football League Cup and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup

So Liverpool has won the REAL treble three times already??? Wow.

I was under the false impression only English Team to do it was MUFC.
Seems I was wrong then.

iceFatboy SG

So from 90s, Liverpool won many cups.. Seems they are really tuned to winning these cups.

iceFatboy SG

hopefully, Chelsea will allow us to get a double this season..Then MUFC will break a major hurdle.

allentyb SG

it is written under, THE DOUBLE

Rolling Eyes

what i have mention is at my very first post of your thread - the treble, since when you didn't know how to read english

the notable treble is - (goodness i can't believe i have to explain to you) we won the succession of 3 double for the the 1982, 1983 and 1984, which they consider as a TREBLE

iceFatboy SG

I don't like to deny iron-cast facts which I know. And throughout my posts, you can see that.

but for me, I would prefer to make a friend than enemies.

HANDSHAKE??

iceFatboy SG

And the drama between MUFC and Chelsea is that certain fans failed to see the 58 or the 49, but only the two league titles they got.

allentyb SG

look, it is a known fact that manchester united is the only team has won the treble,

everyone knows this for sure, and we give manchester united the credit of doing so, and i am not making all this up, because i provide you with details

nobody is comparing at all, until one of your fans, mention about, did liverpool won any epl title, which he jolly well, know for sure, what is the answer
