What is the most prestigious Treble?
The most prestigous of the options is the Prem, FA and CL, as won by Utd in '99.
I agree its completely pointless comparing platers, teams and even achivements across era's. So much changes that it's nowhere near a true comparison although that doesn't stop it being an interesting debate!
Utd's achievement of winning the treble in '99 should be devalued by the fact that they shouldn't even have been in one of the competitions if it was still a true competition for champions. It wasn't so it's a pointless argument.

Finch is clutching at straws again 
Who cares who used less players 
It's like saying United's 15 titles is better than Liverpool's 18, because their best ever side was destroyed in 1958
The people have spoken, the title, fa cup and cl is the only real treble, the rest, whilst being great achievments, pale into insignificance compared to the real one, achieved by United in 1999.
