That’s not the people I’m talking about are doing though is it. They’re being historical, saying the football is shit and the manager should be f***ed off. You’d think we were bottom of the league the way these idiots carry on.

It's been a shite spell. We always said we'd know more about this side once this spell was over. And we have. We've learned that we still have issues with the squad, the style

You needed to learn that? It’s blatantly obvious we’re reliant on a few key players not getting injured.

If we're harking to fergie times, the issue people have now with thinking were going to close on these teams who are eight points above us (just like 'above Liverpool by Christma' last year) is that we're behind them AND shitter/as good as them.

Did you go into the season thinking we were better than everyone like some united teams of the past?
Quote:
There's not much between us, spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool and arsenal. So we can't afford to let any of them get away.

As far as I’m aware none of those teams have gotten away. And I wasn’t aware we were expected to win the league.

We’d also be pointing out that freefall was imminent..

Yeah, we hate them. Would Liverpool fans be saying it about their own team like some united fans are? Why are you judging united through the same filter we’d judge our hated rivals and they’d judge us?
Based on where we’ve been this past 5 years, were these united fans expecting to play great football and win the league this season or were they expecting a steady progression from last season, which is exactly what we have?
