"In my lifetime..."

It won't happen in my lifetime so its not relevant to me. I'd much rather go to my grave knowing they'd never won another one between now and then.
 
I think people are mad believing United will never come back to be a force. Eventually they will get the right investment there, unfortunately it's too big a club not to.

But for now, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts and if we can get to 10 league titles asap I'll be happy. Win it this year and we go level with Chelsea again on 5. They've only been a force for ten years and we have a stronger history so we should focus on them and other rivals like Arsenal and Spurs and let United do the self-imploding!

Agree but they won't be the dominant force they were under the pisscan but think they will find it harder to get to the point where they actually win a premier league title within the next 5 years at least
 
Seems a weird thread to me. Who's to say we'll ever do it. A league title was unimaginable 10 years ago, and a second title just 2 seasons later was astounding, but perhaps we might never win another again. Yes, it would be disappointing, but to really have the arrogance to think we'll still dominate the game in 30 years seems quite daft!
 
Some pisshead once famously used the phrase "not in my lifetime" and it came back to haunt him in the worst possible way. He was the leader of a cult of muppets who like to shout "20".

So this morning I get to thinking, how long before that, that last rod the rags wave will be taken from their grasp and us mighty blues start saying "21"?

I have zero doubt we will pass that mark in my lifetime, and then, and only then will I depart for the pearly gates.

So blues, think about it. Factor in Chelsea winning titles, factor in Arsenal rising again. Factor in Liverpool fluking a title win...actually I've taken it too far there. Factor in a random team winning a title long before the dippers.

So, for fun and giggles lets play Mystic Mal here and predict it...how long before we have lifted the title 21 times?
I'd go for something like the year 2051, maybe longer, maybe never.

But I'm far more concerned about getting to 10 and get ahead of the rest and just have the three evil red clubs ahead of us.

If we get to 10, maybe we can then look at chathing Arsenal's 13, but 10 is the number I'm hungry for for now.

Id love to be at 10 leagues 10 FA Cups and 1 Champions League in my lifetime.

I'm 16 so I hope to have another 80 years left in me! ;-)
The life expectancy of people your age is going to come a long way down from what it is now because of societies appalling diets. So if you live to 96, well done to you lad!
