That statement perfectly encapsulates the arrogance coursing through the veins of that club in the early part of the post-Ferguson era. That cockiness will slowly whither before our eyes in the years ahead. I think their decline could be replete with much more self-doubt than Liverpool's, who never had to witness at close quarters their local rivals rise up and supplant them."I am looking forward a lot to next year because Manchester United is not renowned for being second."
Nope, more like 5th these days :)

It's the height of stupidity to assume that because something happened before it must continue along the same lines, irrespective of whatever extraneous influences are brought to bear. It's like a nineteenth century owner of a horse drawn Hackney Carriage dismissing the internal combustion engine on the basis that he's done well enough over the last ten years, so that's bound to continue, irrespective.Solsjaer was on the radio earlier giving it the usual 'Manchester Untied should be challenging.........'. It's a load of bollocks, what does 'should' mean in sport?
They aren't challenging because they are shite, therefore they 'should' not be challenging for anything despite thier name. No one, just as with Liverpool, can put forward any tangible reason why they 'should' be challenging other that they challenged years ago. Not one
Until they both realise that, which they won't, they will struggle to address the underlying problems in the club/team

Their mindset will be their undoing. My overriding hope is that we don't fall into the same enticing trap. It's a big ask.
It's oversimplifying things to suggest that the dynamics of both their declines will be played out identically. They won't. The chaotic world we live in doesn't work like that.I'm not too sure about the self doubt you talk of, these lot & the dippers are delusional. I don't know how they never doubt themselves.
Not in Bacon's life time.That's so true, if anything our cup for cockups history gave us the perfect disguise for them not taking us seriously until it was too late. r.

I guess finishing 5th makes him a man of his word
That's so true, if anything our cup for cockups history gave us the perfect disguise for them not taking us seriously until it was too late. Same thing just happened with Leicester.
The odds on that will be somewhat shorter than someone on Sunday Supplement calling them a "morally bankrupt club".If this Jose rumour is true.
Who's up for starting the rumour he's sitting in the stands at Wembley....

Your year of birth and username has made me feel, well, old :-(This week I have seen:
Marcus Rashford 'The Story so Far' as a Sky Sports headline.
I have heard hours of debate about whether he should attend the Euro's.
A BBC biopic debating his future legendary status.
There has been significantly more so I checked out some stats and I noticed that this is a player who has scored five goals, according to his Wiki site. What on earth has brought us to the point where a very junior player is being talked about, on national media, as a legend?
I was born in Moss Side in 1968. All my life I have been subjected to this while my beloved club sat in the relative doldrums. It for this reason that I hope they suffer a slow and painful decline with LVG at the helm; steering them to near success but achieving nothing. Let it begin in the FA cup final: my despise of that club grows stronger by the day.
