Can they ever be caught?

When the PL started, united only had 7 top flight league titles. If we carry on the same way, we'll be up there in 20 years. Quite possible we could win 12 of the next 20.

Would be best if we didn't win it every year as the league would become stale and boring like germany and bayern, so make it 14 in 20 miss out every 3 years as long as it isn't the rags or scousers winning it ;-)

Total of above (2017)
United 40
Liverpool 38
Arsenal 27
Chelsea 19
Spurs 14
City 13


Total of above (Today)
+3 Liverpool 41
+0 United 40
+0 Arsenal 27
+9 City 22
+2 Chelsea 21
+0 Villa 20
+0 Spurs 14

So in the last 5 years we've added 9 trophies, Dippers 3, Chelsea 2 (shouldnt this be three, FA, Europa and ahcmapions league?) and the rest Nil

We can close the gap, it'll take time...but it's possible, we ain't going anywhere
 
The biggest issue United have is they have burnt away a great deal of their revenue and profile edge over not just City but the whole trailing pack so even if City lose some their domination its certainly not a forgone conclusion that United would fill the gap. To me what's remarkable is the fact that despite Liverpool being pretty unsuccessful the last 20 years and United's domination they are still ahead of United trophy wise, it goes to show you how long making up gaps really is.

I’m relatively indifferent to it all actually, despite posting it. Like you I just find the football we are playing at the moment fascinating, and I hope we break the points record and go down as the highest points finish in history, because the football to date deserves that.

It was just a good debate in person so I thought I’d post it here. I personally don’t think a team will ever be able to truely dominate because I think the spread of money will always mean that teams go in cycles, it’s harder to consistently build a stronger side. I thought our 11/12 side would be very dominant after that season, and it just didn’t happen because we stood still. Keeping this side moving forwards will be difficult because players to improve it are very expensive or unknown.

Centurions, anyone?
