Likewise.
My personal goal for the team is to get to the point of being recognised as the best in the world i.e. be worthy winners of the UCL and then World Club Championship.
At a family gathering two days before the Watford final, I said to two of my United supporting cousins that Liverpool would get to 21 top league titles before they did.The damage has been done to united now. I believe they’ll sink into obscurity as far as the league is concerned. Maybe the odd domestic cup here and there.
They’ve been left behind too far, and comedy appointments like Wally Gunnar have helped seal that. The big players won’t go there. They’ll attract the next level - for money.
You can sense it in their fans’ attitude. They know they’re back to pre-premier league and they will be on a long, long road before they realistically have a title winning side and us and Liverpool go on the decline. Foot ball is cyclical, and this is a prime example of that.
I go into the next 20 years of my life with them a nothing of a club, with us gobbling up title after title. We’ll surpass their league title haul. 100%.
I vaguely recall some of their fans alluding to it very subtly on the final day of last season.Didn't Villa once win the European Cup? I've heard such tales, once or twice...
I think that the whole football league system will change so much over the next decade or so that we won't catch Liverpool or Manure in the domestic league titles list.
However, we will probably be very well placed to top the English list of winners of a European league of some sort.
It could have happened sooner than I thought. Luckily it didn't.Controversial
I was chatting to a City supporting neighbour last week when the local armchair rag joined us. As anticipated, he turned the conversation round to them within seconds, bemoaning the fact that the Premiership is now "all about big business" and that he'd lost interest in going to see his beloved team as a consequence (clearly, a poorly disguised snide dig at us). I bit my tongue but was tempted to ask him whether he felt that way when the rags were outspending everyone and winning every trophy in sight. Isn't it funny how some fans have a selective memory?The damage has been done to united now. I believe they’ll sink into obscurity as far as the league is concerned.

Yes, interesting to look back on your quote of a few years ago and what actually happened. Teabag says the euro league idea is still alive. It may be that euro league is the only answer they have to the increasing dominance of the PL in world media markets and what that means for relative wealth and players wages.It could have happened sooner than I thought. Luckily it didn't.
