Have we become irrelevant

[FakeNewsBear]

Well have we? Arsenal have had a s*** season but still there, Chelsea same and with Newcastle, Spurs and Man city getting there s*** together are we slipping away? And you can shove your cuPs up your a*** I want to be challenging for the league

We definitely have. Chelsea and Arsenal have been poor this season and we're nowhere near them.

[Hassony]

We've challenged for the league twice in the last 20 years, we have no right to think that we should be challenging for the title every season

 

anyone who dismiss winning trophies shouldn't really be following football

We're the Mancs in the 80's.

[Tosh]

We're the Mancs in the 80's.

Not been relegated. Yet!

 

The more we get ourselves "up" for big games and yet roll over in games like last night (19 out of 41 points won against the lower half of the league this year), the more we are an irrlevance. Need to steamroller the dross. Simples

But we've gone from regular top 4 to mid table dross who can lift themselves for the odd game to put together a cup run.

 

We're the equivalent of 1990's Spurs.

Not to the big teams no.

 

Maybe to some of the not so big ones though.

[Chili Palmer]

I think thats the perfect way to put it. The big teams are scared of us because they know how we will perform against them. The not so big teams are no longer scared of us because they know how we will perform against them. We will not win the league again until we change the latter.

 

Man utd win 20 points a season from the 'not so big teams' on reputation alone.

[RBM]

Not yet, another season, like the last 3 and we will be though.

[Stevie]

I still can't believe that Swansea are just 3 points behind us. Wolves are closer to us in points than we are to United.

It's terrible winning cups isn't it?

[johngibo YPC]

The Mancs sing about us every week if that helps

The 70's that?

It's exactly like the Mancs in the 80's though?

Big games and cup games plus pats on our own backs for being so good at being average.

Okay winning FA and Carling cup or be in Man Citys position?

We're on an FA Cup run... not won the bloody thing.

 

Looking back to 2009, many on here would rather be in City's position

[Coyler]

Okay winning FA and Carling cup or be in Man Coty position?

Be in their position with our own squad or with theirs? It would probably be more headwrecking because there's no way we'd pass out United from there.

I don't care what anybody else thinks to be honest.

It's not other fans that are the problem, it's the perception of the club by players. If we continue in this vein, it's going to get increasingly difficult to turn it around, with the type of players we'll be able to entice.

I think football fans are stupid at times.

 

Money is way more important than romance to players.

[épieur]

League position is the most important barometer of where we are going. A liverpool manager doesn't get a pass on the league.

Agree. And with City's money and Spurs benefitting from a drop in quality across the entire league, the task of getting into the top 4 has become more difficult and the worrying prospect of sliding away is a very real one.

[schmuckdonald]

Naaah.

[Epic Swindle]

Awful thread, hopefully binned to obscurity.

And European football

what finish second with a stupid outlay on transfers and wages with nothing to show for it? the champions league money for what they've spent is irrelevent.
