But they've been doing it for years. Last season they were nowt special in just about every victory but still finished fourth.
According to a couple of rags I know they've been relatively poor for 10-12 years yet won several league titles, a couple of cups and the CL in that time. Points are points however you get them. Logic dictates their luck can't last forever but it seems to, logic dictates opposing teams won't continue to bend over for a shafting but they do, logic dictates they must get sighted refs occasionally but it never seems to happen.
They may be papering over the cracks, but they don't care so long as they win.
As for laughing at their poor winning performances think back to our occasional undeserved victory and check out the "stop fucking whingeing we won" comments in the post-match forum.
You know they're shite, I know they're shite and their two or three observant fans know they're shite, but the result is all that matters for some.
Its more the mentality of other teams/players, with the scum always been bigged up and what they've done in there past effects them!
