Sorry didn't realise football orginated in 1993 I suppose those other 4 FA cups, 2 League Cups, 1 European Cup Winners Cup and 2 Division trophies stand for nothing.
Some other funny ones:
"At least Fletcher scored the best goal of the game..."
"Owned???? Hahahahaha as if u beat a 10 men team?

I just tell them you love to go on about history check out yours buying wise in the first 6 years of BaconChops blew everyone away
I just post this - (feel free to copy it for the next time a rag throws the tired old money argument at you)
Even with an extra £2.2 billion injection into the Premier League from a new television deal, which will mean every club benefiting by at least an extra £12m, money from the Champions League still separates the top four from the rest.
United re-establish themselves as top of the money league with a total of £62.92m, a figure that does not include gate money from Old Trafford, merchandise sales or income from club sponsorship deals.
Chelsea have also broken the £60m mark, while Liverpool's run to the Champions League final will see them bring in at least £54.7m, with a further £2m should they beat AC Milan in next week's final in Athens.
Arsenal's failure to reach the quarter-finals of Europe's top club competition cost them several millions, but their total figure of £44.14m is still £14m more than north London rivals Spurs, who earned a total of £30.55m - their Uefa Cup earnings over £11m less than Arsenal's European income.
Relegated Watford were the Premiership's lowest earners, bringing in £17.98m.
