Right I`m not that bothered United went out of the cup last night .
The facts are they should have gone out the last round to Preston .
Anyway what have we got to gloat about we lost to Newcastle and Middlesbrough in the cups .
We're Champions of England and off to the Nou Camp, and they're scrapping about looking like they'll get the Europa League at best and have a trip to ScouseLand coming up.
That's pretty gloat worthy.
The absolute best one though, to me anyway the absolutely most satisfying one, is that they are the architects of their own failure. They don't understand that the Ferguson reign stopped them from developing into a modern football organisation as everybody else did.
Now they are at a point where they need a complete rebuild. Instead they put their accountant in charge of the company whose only real experience of football is by giving the manager free reign and watching the trophies roll in. So instead of creating long term structures that will sustain their footballing side over the next 20 years, they are looking for the next Ferguson and buying anybody that seems quite good on FIFA. Their adherence to the myth of Manchester United is essentially causing the downfall of Manchester United.
I only really gloat on the Arsenal and Liverpool threads. I never bother gloating on the United thread because sitting there with a big smirk on my face and watching them scramble around in an ultimately fruitless bid to remain relevant is much more satisfying than getting involved.
