Would you say you are trophy driven?

I love the whole match day thing, personally to the point where I look forward to that more than the actual game. Having said that, the way we play has an obvious affect on my mood.

The perfect scenario is a proper good drink in a town somewhere with lads I've know for years followed by a good sing-song inspired by a good attacking performance. The curlier the roller-coaster the better. A trophy, in my view is a bonus.

Which is why I'm not overly concerned about the managerial position. LVG has had his time now, no question. The devil in me wants a manager who is exciting and unproven, someone fresh. Jose will probably bring trophies but will the buzz be back?

Christ no, I've not won a trophy since the Ciba-Geigy tournament as an 11 year old

Love a good sing song.

used to be sometimes...

even took some points for the shit-driving blart back in the days when we didn't have to pretend that doesn't happen

I think the journey is always better that the destination and I Won the U12'S snooker at Pontins Prestatyn 1982 So I know both sides of the coin.

Without doubt, I want to say us win trophies first most, secondly playing great football. The great football could be attack, attack, attack footy, but I'd take solid defending and breaking fast, scoring lots of goals. Just want us winning competitions again and Mourhino is the most likely manager to achieve that IMO.

1.Good sing-song
2.Trophies
3.Attacking display

In that order, though I do love a good attacking performance.

I greatly enjoyed 1999.

Biggest problem at the moment is that we're playing shit football, I can accept that the era of winning a trophy most years is done, I can't accept watching us play like a group of players who've barely met and have invented football dyslexia,

Trophies......if you want entertainment, go to the circus

Swashbuckling football is a bonus but at least fight for every trophy you play for.....never understood this, cant be arsed with the league cup/europa league nonsense

exciting football and trophies go hand in hand. one without the other is pointless. friends/drinks can work around fixtures.

I see you're now doing Roger Irrelevent as well as Terry £#%&!wit.

This period of angst and deprivation will end up being great for us. Success came too easy tbh, and some seasons were more like a numb procession; however when we emerge from it and resume our place at the top it will rekindle the utter joy of '93. Priceless.

Trebles.

Probably true that. It's good to have cycles as it were, the title in 2006-07 was the best since '93 for that very reason, 3 seasons in the dolldrums and then blasting back to the top with an exciting, young and hungry team, smashing the nouveau riche..

The trophies were a by product of every thing else. You'd still remember the dippers and Arsenal game had we not won the fa cup for example.

Good football first

Really? I can't see dull football being the future of any fans weekend. The day United become choice by default with the missus being the alternative is probably the day I buy an allotment and 'listen out for the score' on a LW radio station.

It may not have been (quite) our best team, but I think I enjoyed the 2006-08 period more than any other in my lifetime
