I have no idea how some people on here would have coped during fergie’s first 4 years in charge. Not to mention the many years of shit prior. United probably had 4 decent years during my lifetime prior to fergie winning the cup winners’ cup.

Dodger, if the dippers were where we are in the league having played the games we’ve played and had the same results we’d be pointing out what a false position they’re in, having only managed a good result against one half decent side out of the 5 faced, and having benefitted from the most accommodating start they could possibly have asked for; 6 consecutive games against shit teams or teams in flux and about to lose their manager (3 of the sides we have beaten have changed manager thus far). We’d also be pointing out that freefall was imminent..
Can’t knock the CL performance tbf. It’s about getting through and winning the group. It’s dull as £#%&! these days and nobody cares until April.
Best performance so far this season, for me, was 2nd half v Spurs, but that was purely for the intensity and effort, certainly not the football. The old adage ‘you can only beat what’s in front of you’ only works if you’re not just beating shit.
