Quintuple:
1 : being five times as great or as many
2 : having five units or members
after last night Carling cup triumph, the talk of quintuple has been rise.. can we do it?
CHASING THE BIG FIVE
The odds on Manchester United winning an unprecendented ‘quintuple’ of Club World Cup, Carling Cup, Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup have been slashed to 14/1. If United pull it off they will make history. Only Celtic have come anywhere near that achievement. In 1967 they won five trophies, including the European Cup, but included the Glasgow Cup among their haul. United’s 1999 Treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup is the next best achievement
Dec 21 2008, Club World Cup United’s first trophy is in the bag, Wayne Rooney scoring in a 1-0 win over South American champions Liga de Quito of Ecuador
Mar 1 2009, Carling Cup Holders Tottenham, who beat Chelsea in last year’s final, stand in the way of United lifting their second trophy of the season at Wembley today
May 24 2009, Premier League United were seven points clear yesterday morning and it would take a catastrophic loss of form to blow it now
May 27 2009, Champions League United should dispose of Inter Milan next week to reach the quarter-finals – and a possible clash with English opposition. United are fancied to become the first to win the Champions League in successive seasons
May 30 2009, FA Cup Three more matches and United could have trophy No 5 in the bag. First, however, they must beat Fulham in next Saturday’s quarter-final and then win a semi-final on April 18/19
