Going back to the days when we were shite, we as fans ripped the shit out of Utd & hated them with a passion, of course, but our ex players our managers & our very few media people used to hold their hands up & praise the fuck out of them & even us, as fans watching opponents, we have applauded Arsenal off the pitch when they've given us a twatting, we even applauded Paul Merson off (for Villa ?) when we were suffering. We weren't on Mourinho's case when he started (banter yes but we gave credit where it was due).
By contrast, the time it has taken for us to gain some kind of even handed punditry & the level of resistance by some, even now, just shows what a bunch of self serving ****s have been running the show all these years.
All we have done, even since Hughes, thru Bob, The Pelle & now Pep, is try to play great football.
