Yeah,its not like utd won the CL in 99 after qualifying as also rans in the league the season before. And that shadow is the big blue one from Manchester thats covering Salford lad.
When they've won 19 they can lay claim to a shadow. You asked Eric to come back when we'd won 18. It was a fair request, we can ask the same of the Bitters.
Which one? Winning 3 trophies in 1 season had happened before Utd managed it after entering the champions cup without being champions of England.
Well the season so far has proved to be one of FAILURE for United and there is no reason to believe that it will change by May.
How about the fact that you're not even the best team in Manchester anymore Even though I suppose you could claim to be the biggest in Salford (cue the Surrey accented cries of....we aren't in Salford guvvna )
True, we set our standards pretty high and second would be seen as failure. I remember what it was like to be in your shoes where a domestic cup and a mid table finish was considered a major success.
The downside of City coming into money is that we'll have to share the title with them over the next few seasons. The upside is that it pretty much guarantees that your lot won't be winning another title for a long, long time. Swings and roundabouts. Apples and pears. Laurel and Hardy.
Even Utd's humiliation at the hands of Barca was'nt as bad a feeling for Fergie as when City twatted Utd 6-1. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/15421707
That's what you've been reduced to. Mocking us for losing a European cup final and a Manchester derby. Sad really considering you used to be a big club.
Get used to it. All things are cyclical and your downturn has already begun. Before you start the "we've heard the predictions of our downturn before", take a look at the similarities with our demise. However, we are still on track to achieve all of our targets for this season
But we have heard the predictions of our downturn before. It happened around the time Chelsea got lucky and only lasted a couple of years. 7th was a target?
