We've finished above Liverpool for 9 consecutive season and United for 5. And in the last 7 seasons we've won the premier league 3 times. Nah, won't happen.

This current team has won fewer titles than Leicester. In terms of European titles, they're behind:most consider us great alredy football wise.
win back to back titles we join the rags and scousers are benchmarks
Red Star Belgrade
Steuar Bucharest
Celtic
Villa
Forrest
Marseille
And every other team that's won the "big ears".
They also lag behind the nighty Malmo, Partizan Belgrade, Panathanaiokos, Bruges, St. Etienne, Leeds, Fiorentina, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen etc - all of whom have made it to the European cup final.
This team could go on to match all of the above and be considered "great". Until then, leave the hyperbole to the internet and let the talking be done on the pitch.

That's a very sensible post. But fewer titles than Leicester?

Greatness is showing an eminence or distinction compared to others in the same sphere.
Domestically we have the highest points total in the last seven years. Domestically we have won the most trophies in the last seven years. We are currently playing the greatest football many people have ever seen. We are heading towards winning the league in a record amount of time, with a record points total and record amount of goals scored.
That is in distinction to all other Premier League clubs in a positive light, therefore that is greatness.

Yep, with the exception of YaYa, Vinny, Serge and David, this current squad contains nobody who has won the league as many times as Jamie Vardy.That's a very sensible post. But fewer titles than Leicester?

In the last 5 years we've won the same number of league titles as Leicester. We have won exactly zero European trophies since 1970. Your definition of greatness is very different to mine.Greatness is showing an eminence or distinction compared to others in the same sphere.

It’s not my definition, it’s the Oxford English Dictionary’sIn the last 5 years we've won the same number of league titles as Leicester. We have won exactly zero European trophies since 1970. Your definition of greatness is very different to mine.
And in two weeks your post will be worthless

The answer is never.
Even if we win 4 Champions leagues in the next 10 years and win 5 PLs.
We’ll always hear “it’s easy with all that money”, “oil money” and so on.
Just like Chelsea. Yea they won a lot but where would they be without Abramovich and so on.
The is narrative pushed.
We could break every football record possible and it would be the same.
Just enjoy the present and the future because both are BLUE.

Put your fucking handbag away, don't worry I know our history, I was watching it unfold in front of me for over quarter of a centuryYou're that unarsed you decided to start a thread. This team is a million miles from being considered great. It's won...one league cup. If you think it deserves the title of greatness based on that, you're deluded. The great teams win the very best available - European cups, multiple titles. Clough's team won the league and 2 European cups. This current team hasn't won either. Derby won Div 1 and made the semis of the European cup - we haven't matched that yet. Burnley won the league in 1960 and made the QFs of European cup - more than this team's currently achieved. You need to read a bit, get a bit of historical perspective and stop fucking worrying about who says what. Facts, medals and trophies; the rest is immaterial.
