TBF they have just won the AFC Bournemouth Cup

In fact, joking apart, if they do go on to win the FA Cup Sky will have a new feature...
"Is winning the FA Cup actually harder and therefore better than winning the Premier League ?"

Sly sports are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now

a complicated formula to try and prove that black is actually white - their knuckle draggers will get lost trying to understand it and just believe that were it not for the WBA defeat they would be runaway champs this season and half their team would make up the team of the season - and all that has to be true coz they read it on a computer !!

Notice how of the 9 times it would have won the league, 7 of them were in the 1990's?

That's because the league hadn't split into "The top 4/6" and "the rest" yet. Money was only just coming into the country from Sky and UEFA, and there wasn't a £500m per year disparity between richest club and poorest.

That meant a more level league, fewer points for the winners.

United's projected points total would have won the league twice since Abramovic arrived. One when everyone else in the top 4 was shit and in transition (15/16) and the other in 09/10 which was a bizarre outlier too.

So essentially if you really analyse it, in the modern day premier league, Uniteds' points total would have won them the league if it was an abnormally shit year for everyone else competing...hardly a revelation.

our projected points total would win every premier league ever.

You wait till they win the "best of the rest" trophy.

I prefer to call it the "First Losers' Trophy".

I doubt it, as BBC and BT have the FA Cup, so in Sty's eyes it's almost as if the competition doesn’t exist.
