No mate. Missed more this season than I can ever remember missing before.

Would Utd still have developed in this way without them though, would they have been as aggressive in exploiting opportunities without the threat of City/Chelsea?

I hate modern football, we are never going back to even the illusion of parity are we?

No. I think it’s probably inevitable that each generation gets left behind by the way the game evolves. People who grew up with the babes probably felt the same way about the co92. I’ve never felt as disconnected from the game as I do now. Money is all that matters to anyone these days.
