    ****, it's nearly dawned on you that I was making a veiled criticism of Old Trafford.

    ??? We have more fans and are more historically successful than Wigan and Bolton, and have won the league more times than Man City with more fans and more success in teh European Cup/Champion's League. That's what makes us bigger.

    I'd like to see what you would average in the 2nd tier having been out of the PL for 8 years with prices as expensive as the top 4 in the PL.

    Arsenal last season was when we last filled our ground which is in the top 10 biggest club stadiums in England. Same with Tottenham the season before and Liverpool the season before that.

    This season, we had 5,000 members who dropped out and couldn't sell out for the game against you because people were boycotting. Get it now?

    Since when did the League Cup and UEFA Cup not count as major trophies? Not to mention our 5 league runners-up positions, 3 FA Cup finals and 2 European Finals where that we have been historically shown to have been cheated out of.

    Finals do not count as wins, surely you know that?

    League cup and uefa are not major trophies sorry, they might be for you now, but they are not for genuine professional clubs

    It proves nothing. We've won more important silverware than your average club. Even by those stupid measures, we're still one of the most succssful teams in the country. A League Cup's still a major honour, but obviously doesn't hold as much weight as a league title. Likewise, a more recent league title is more valuable than one from the 1910s like Blackburn and Newcastle tend to mainly have.

    Anyway, we were the best club team in the world for a longer period than you lot have ever been. It would have been nice to win more silverware but we can still be proud of probably being the 7th or 8th most successful when you calculate it with some idea of importance/relevance factored in. We got conned so many times it was unreal, but still came out of it as the undisputable footballing gods of the 70s.

    Yes and I don't think anyone would doubt that. Certainly a scummier club though, and one I could never be jealous of.
