Carragher Courts Controversy by Omitting Ferguson from Elite List of Managers Who Changed Football

• Pep Guardiola guided his Manchester City team to a 4-1 win over title rivals Arsenal
• City are on course for three Premier League titles in a row as well as a domestic and European treble
• The last English team to achieve this was Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the 1998/99 season

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are on course for a treble this season, with the last English team to achieve this being Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United of the 1998/99 season.

The Citizens dispatched title rivals Arsenal and are only two points behind on the league table with two games in hand, putting them in the driver's seat for this year's title.

They are also in the UEFA Champions League semi-final and have a date with holders Real Madrid. Should they survive the record holders, one of Inter Milan or AC Milan awaits them in the final.

Their dominance and possible triumph have put them in the debate of the greatest team ever, and controversial pundit Jamie Carragher has added fuel to the fire of the topic.

Carragher 'disrespects' Ferguson

The former Liverpool defender asked his followers if City wins the Champions League or the treble, will his era at the Etihad join one of the great teams to have changed football.

He listed Arrigo Sacchi's AC Milan, Johan Cruyff's Barcelona, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, Rinus Michels' Ajax and Pep's Manchester City in waiting, which led to widespread controversy as to why he omitted Sir Alex Ferguson's team - the treble winner's of 1998/99 season, according to UEFA.

Neville made a case for the squad he was part of, but Carragher fired back, claiming they never influenced European football's next generation of managers or tactics.

SportBible agrees with Jamie that Ferguson's team may have been great; they made no future impact and listed the line of influence from Sacchi to Cruyff and subsequently to Guardiola.

Neville wrote how Ferguson's team made an impact on football which his usual nemesis found funny and laughed it off.

Arsenal proved Neville right

Sports Brief reported that Gary Neville was proven right by Arsenal's collapse after their 4-1 demolition at the hands of Manchester City last night.

The member of the famous class of 1992 made a bold claim that the Gunners would not win the title despite being 11 points clear at the top of the table in January.

He was met by social media attacks by the North London club's fans, who have now simmered down after the result last night means it is no longer in their hands.
