Can they ever be caught?

The days of Manure only having to worry about one other team in any given season - Liverpool (at the end of their glory days), Arsenal ( Petit, Bergkamp and our own Patrick), Chelsea (when RA arrived), and yes Blackburn (with Jack Walker's fun fund) have long gone. It's more of a level playing field now with at least fifteen multi-billionaire owners of clubs - some in the Championship. So when Manure fans say 'come back when you've won 20 titles and multi Champions Leagues' they're not comparing apples with apples. We're striving to create modern history in a more competitive environment.

I'm fine if they compare apples to oranges. They know deep down that their best days are behind them. That can't be much fun. When they bring up the "come back when you've won 20 titles" schtick, I just say, "So you'll be completely fine if City win the next 15 in a row then? I wouldn't think any real United fan would be pleased if the little club cross town did that, but I guess it's okay with you."

Sunderland won the title 6 times ????

If your great grandad is still alive he might just remember the last two in 1912-13 and1935-36

Updated, now level with the mighty Spurs.

I think we take that victory on league titles.

Next up, Chelsea.

Doubt we can but it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the here and now that counts.

We’re the young lad turning up to the office party with a smoking hot girlfriend. They’re the sad old dude in the corner boring everyone with stories of girls he used to date.

Why is the Europa League / UEFA Cup / European Cup Winners Cup not included ?

Although trophy winning is the most important aspect regarding the assessment of how successful a club may be, however there are others such as hype, spin and marketing. For example most of the best restaurants n the world cannot compete in terms of popularity with say McDonalds.

I think with the foundations being built it can be beaten but it will take many years.

For now lets just enjoy winning as much as we can.

He’d do well to remember the first one!

Villa have one one title in the past 100 years for a bit of perspective , correct me if I’m wrong but weren’t there only 12 teams in the league when they won it numerous times in the late 1890’s ? Coincidentally they also won the fa cup a lot around that time, different league then totally.
