    Took Rooney scoring to give you the confidence to come out and say that? Get down of the horse. Plastic.

    Not really failure

    3 FA Cups
    4 League Cups
    1 Uefa Cup

    And a big Champions League.

    Failure would be the 26 yrs Utd went between League titles earning a relegation to division two in the process.

    Exactly Suarezlfc. There is this myth that winning a trophy gives clubs a massive springboard for more success. I don't think that's true unless you're talking about the league. Knockout competitions don't provide a good insight into the quality of a team/squad as they are one off games that are influenced by numerous factors ie player availability and selection, home v away ties etc. The theory suggests that Birmingham should have kicked on after their cup final success. I don't think winning the Carling Cup will help Liverpool overcome what will be a 30+ points deficit on the eventual league champions.

    We won a few trophies during that spell. We couldn't win the European Cup as we hadn't yet paved the way for lesser teams to qualify for it by finishing in the runners up spots. You're welcome by the way.

    Yea and bottled it when Adebayor scored. Running scared of Fergie. Disgraceful.

    If Spurs equalise, how long before United get a penalty?

    Here we go, the United faithful can bang on about how great they are. Well done on beating an under strengh Totenham with the help of the ref.

    In fairness, I pointed out a few weeks ago, that United had a very difficult run of games. They have produced the results against some excellent teams, maybe not playing the best football ever, but they have been efficient and effective. So if they do go on to win the title it will be deserved and one of Fergie's greatest achievements.

    Harry's mind on the England job? He won't get it if this form continues.
