Compare United to Arsenal in the following areas. See how many areas your team wins. Who is the overall winner? Be honest with yourselves Domestic history European history Current league standing Current squad value Current manager Number of European Footballer of the Year winners Number of FIFA World Player of the Year winners Commercial value UK fanbase World fanbase Worldwide fame Stadium capacity Success of youth academy Feel free to add any other areas you feel are important, but stick to facts not opinion. I posted this on another thread and goonercymraeg was kind enough to suggest another area- Level of debt. So I make that 13-1 to United.
He also pointed out that the number of Utd wums showing up their fans, their club and making total pricks out of themselves in the process outweighs any silly little point you're trying to make. Gooners 1 - 0 bitter wums
We win on current squad value and current manager. Other factors we would win on are stadium noise created, financial prudence, attractiveness of football and number of world cup winners in squad.
Current manager? He's won nothing for 6 years! Squad value is touch and go. Stadium noise? At the Library? Financial Prudence? Fair enough. Attractiveness of football? Tippy-tappy's not to everyone's taste. Number of world cup winners? Scraping the barrel a bit isn't it? Not meant to be funny. Just an illustration of United's superiority. Checked all the football forums have you? As compared to number of Arsenal fans in London? Pretty close I reckon.
But it makes you feel hard too, right? Being aggressive with someone online knowing that they can't kick your soft little southern arse. What don't I get exactly? If you 'get it', please explain. I wanted to stick to quantifiable facts, but if you're referring to a certain "X-Factor", I believe United trump Arsenal there too. Hence why they are so famous and popular worldwide, and have been for decades. If I'm wrong, please put me right.
