"The Arteta revolution has begun!"

Imagine having a manager who deliberately dumps you out of every competition to go all in on the league and then end up finishing with nothing.

The coneman cometh.

So basically they did really really well to have that many points so early but didn't have the depth of squad to maintain it that City have?

 

not sure how it translates into basic thinking bro

that’s your speciality it seems

I’ll take your word for it

 

We won it in 2015/16 with a much shallower squad than the Goons have ... whole squad cost less than £25 million ... Goons can bring players off the bench that cost more than that total ... major difference = backbone ... we had it in buckets ... or to quote the title of a Mel Gibson film ... "We Were Soldiers"

 

It's been pointed out so many times that you hit a perfect storm, not one of the bigger teams were involved that season as they were all in decline or transition.
Yes you took the initiative and stepped up really well but the years after (and before) that tell the story.
Will forever be in PL folklore though

 

This is what is Magical about this forum when ever a fan feels broken and hurt because his team have become an absolute disaster everyone gathers around to give him kind words and brotherly love

 

So after 20 'perfect storms' it's the 10 years after that tell United's story?

KDEN ...

 

If only we could have had a season where our shallowish squad could have won the league with 72 points eh

By backbone, I assume you mean N'Golo Kante? He's the only significant player you lost that Summer and then you finished 12th the season after, level with Stoke with a GD of -15. Where did the backbone go?

 

We did reach the quarter finals of the Champions League the following season ... the major difference (besides Kante - who went on to win another title with Chelsea that season) was that Wes Morgan and Robert Huth just couldn't sustain the performance level of the previous season ... transpired to be their glorious swansong ...

 

Champions to Championship in 7 seasons

And they said you were a top team lol

 

Leicester won the league with 81 points.

 

Yet still won both the Prem title and FA Cup more recently than your money spunking club ... and when we got out in front in the title race, we had the balls to stay there ... levels... lol

 

They're still hurting mate ... so far clear at the top only to flop like a limp one

 

But would you swap relegation for 2nd place
