Actually, I'd say United fans are currently in the giddy phase of their regular managerial replacement process. There hasn't been enough time for reality to kick in yet.
You’d know how this felt much better than anyone. Experts some may say!
Oh absolutely. You haven't reached the depths we had, so maybe that's why your fans don't understand why we're happy with our current level
This could be true. I’ll start worrying when we play for corners.
Sold fans dreams? We were winning league titles for 20 years. We did absolutely everything and achieved success all other clubs could only dream, it was bound to end one day. Yet as I say even after it’s ended we’ve still won more than Arsenal.
That level of bitterness is normally reserved for City fans. Though it could be the delusion of a dipper. Know your role in the food chain kid.
Does it coincide with the table, kid?
More the trophy count son
You boys look pretty hungry at the table with nothing for sustenance. Meanwhile, our bellies are nice and fat.
I just rewrote the post from the perspective of United with the timeframe of SAF's retirement, rather than the fairly arbitrary 8 years that was originally chosen.
I'm not sure why you decided to give me a United history lesson, nobody is arguing that you aren't a hugely successful club. I was talking about since SAF retired.
The Mickey Mouse Cup I was referring to is the League Cup. And it's not "as I call it", it's what the United fanbase called it for years.
My "rubbish comeback" was entirely factual, unlike your post that says you've won more trophies than Arsenal in that period which is untrue.
We’ll see if that actually happens.
You don’t understand Europe really as you haven’t won anything in it
Surely you would take that Mickey Mouse cup as a bit of variety? FA Cups only for 20 years now. You didn’t make any points, my original post still stands. The fact you’re pointing out it’s actually 4-4 on trophies in the last 10 years is quite amusing.
I dont know what some of you.want to see written...Arteta is garbage and we should dump him? If you want to see that go on AM. Of course we have room to improve. We are not City.
The first part is fair...we also want to see something more tangible than a second place finish.
Until there is a better option. Really only one team has really done a whole lot in the last few years.
He won an FA Cup btw. I am personally not looking for that a whole lot. It would help a bit...but FA cup isnt much at this point for me. League cup even less. What I want is the CL or the league.
Not at all. We're not the fanbase who would wank themselves into oblivion over the triangular passing patterns under previous managers, brag about playing the most entertaining football in the league, only to then settle for a manager who relies on set piece goals more than anyone else in Europe.
I mean...a lot of United fans on here are like that
I think overall we're not as snobby about winning ugly as Arsenal fans were under Wenger and Emery. Rewind to 2016, would Arsenal fans have been as willing to give Mourinho a chance as their manager as we were?I mean...a lot of United fans on here are like that
Obviously nowhere near as bad, but we've gotten close under LVG and ETH. Something about Dutch managers brings out the worst football hipsters.
Nah, I'm good. If we make the final I'd rather win it than not, but that's about the extent of it.
I was replying to a post about how terrible it must be to be an Arsenal fan that was greeting with the likes of, "Damn, that's a truth and a half. Really funny when you put it that way" and "Ouch." I just pointed out that the same is equally true of United fans if you don't arbitrarily choose a cut-off point of 8 years. It could be argued that it's more true as United fans themselves have historically been disparaging of the competitions that comprise half of said trophy haul when, for example, Liverpool were winning them.
My point is that United fans posting about their sympathy for Arsenal fans is laughable, seeing it's at least equally true of United seeing as we've won an equal number of trophies in recent times. And as any analysis of Arteta and/or Arsenal quickly descends into "Where are the trophies, United have won more recently..." it seemed kind of relevant to point out that since SAF retired that isn't actually the case.
The fact that you feel the need to keep mentioning United's historic success that literally nobody is denying is kinda telling.
It somewhat becomes gobbledygook nearer the end. I'm not sure who you think is going crazy over our "extremely defensive big games wins". If you're counting our win against United as one of them, our focus moved on almost immediately to cutting the Liverpool's lead in our upcoming match with Fulham. United fans are the ones with a thread called Best way to defend Arsenal’s sh*thouse corners? that is four pages long.
Depends what you consider mediocre. Is an FA Cup suddenly the barometer for not being mediocre?. I think we were a just above average club for almost ten years before the last two. Finishing in 2nd with 80+ points...is not mediocre. I know some if you will use the trophy thing as either you are it or you are not, but challenging is the first thing I expect now. I consider Man Utd to be very close to mediocrity.
Arteta is 42 years old. Ferguson didn't even become Man United manager until he was 46.
To add, we all know City have cheated. Everyone knows this. This would have been our years had it not been for them and Arteta would have been in his 3rd league title in a row hunt, something not even Wenger had done.
Curious about this food chain bit. Where are you on it right now?
Right near the top as usual.
