Right just for the record I hate them as much as you! I cheer for every team they play against like my own and I hate everything they stand for…..
However as much as it hurts me I appreciate what they have done……
Before you take it upon yourselves to insult me etc. Treat this as indeed a forum to express points and thoughts etc and feel free to comment on the ones you agree/disagree with….
They lost 2 out of 3 of their best players at the beginning of the season. (Nasri and Fabregas) – Take x2 of Bale, VDV and Modric out of our squad and see what happens.
They are going to finish in the champions league places, and a lot are saying they are going to catch us and do it automatically.
They have turned the club from one that makes a loss into a profit.
They have an all singing all dancing stadium that is pretty much paid off for…..
They have had and will have a loyal manager that has helped them through this transition, where is ours? Oh yes that’s right off to manage our national team.
They have made the effective transition that every one of the previous ‘big four’ needed to make, what I am referring to is an aging squad! Chelsea and Liverpool have failed. However Man Utd and Arsenal have in my opinion done this effectively with limited upset, whether this be by buying in young talent or developing it.
So if someone said to you for let’s say 6-7 years we too wouldn’t win a trophy but get to a few finals, and qualify for the champions league every season but at the end of it have a club/business in the same position as them now would you take it?
I would snap their hand off…….
