You won't get any argument from me ancoats but its the hope that often kills you so what better way to make them think that because they have beaten us twice for trophies they are now the noisy neighbour.
Look thanks to a lot of smart and hard work and having the sense to ride a few hiccups along the way we are well placed to be far more than just another of the big teams in England that look to win the title every season and know if they play to their best enough times and get enough breaks with injuries etc they will in the hunt.
We have had the best manager perhaps in the history of the game all things considered in one if not the toughest league in Europe for 9 seasons , 5 longer than any other team he has managed and lost only two major finals in his time with us , we are spoilt pure and simple and all good tings come to an end at some time.
Our record in Europe of the English teams in the past 10 plus seasons is second to none as is our league form.
You wouldn't want to swap places with any other side and even before we obtained new ownership Manchester was always blue at least to me anyway.
For me the Community Shield is just another warm up game before the season begins and always will be.
