rixalex Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Fair enough... Man U have had some good runs in the past 4 years in the CL - is it 3 finals and a quarters? It seems a massive wake up, to get knocked out this early and given the comments on here today it seems it was expected? You surely need to get in a top CM in January as that seems to be one area you have struggled more than others. I wouldn't go as far as saying going out this early was expected, but winning the competition, or even getting to the final, i don't think was. And when the squad is thin, as it has increasingly become, the silver-lining of going out now, rather than later, is avoiding more injuries such as the crucial one we were hit with last night. Anyway, that's just me - always looking for the positives. You are right though, it is a wake-up call (and not our first of the season), and you are also right, we need to strengthen... but then who doesn't, besides the league leaders?

kopite Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Now where's the liverpool in decline thread hiding??? We've been in decline for 20 years, but still managed to pick up a few trophys along the way. Bar the CL, we would happily swap all of them for one league title. Every red I know is extremely jealous of uniteds success these last 20 years. Still think as a club its all coming to an end for united. The likes of city will only get stronger, the levels of debt that the glazers have made will eventually catch up with you. And of course the day the alcoholic retires.... Liverpool will still be waiting for a title in 20 years. Not really arsed anymore, its just nice having Kenny back. I'm more concerned about the 96 getting the justice they deserve. Only then as a club can we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 There you go then jimbo. Predictions for sunday? Agreed there is a transition going on. I do think that Ferguson is going to have to spend to plug a few gaps though to maintain a challenge. You biggest nightmare imho was losing Vidic. He would have held things together at the back. Rio's always crocked and theres huge pressure on very young players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I petition the MODS (biased as they may be ) to close this topic with immediate effect and replace it with Liverpool / Arsenal / Chelsea - take your pick. Clearly our record speaks for itself, we have been in decline the past 6 years apparently with only XX trophies won. To help get things rolling, I will start a new topic - called - "The Best before Clubs" where we can talk about those once great teams (so I heard) that have done sweet FA in the last XX years.

bkkjames Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ok I did some digging and have come up with the following information. Since the OP of the Man Utd in Decline Thread in 2005 season.. Manchester United League: 2006–07, 2007–08, 2008–09, 2010–11 4 Carling 2005–06, 2008–09, 2009–10 3 Community Shield 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 4 Champions League 1 Club World Cup 1 Total: 13 Others Chelsea, LP, Arsenal League 2005–06, 2009–10 2 Chelsea FA Cup 2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10 3 Chelsea 2005-06 1 Liverpool Carling 2006–07 1 Chelsea Community Shield 2009 1 Chelsea 2006 1 Liverpool Total: 9 Conclusion: This topic is inaccurate and should be closed immediately. Failing that, it should be renamed the Arsenal in Decline Thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Conclusion: This topic is inaccurate and should be closed immediately. Failing that, it should be renamed the Arsenal in Decline Thread. Sorry james. The OP specifically stated the "next ten years". We have only completed 4 full seasons and have therefore 6 more to go until we can see if United did indeed decline. Conclusion. Topic will not be closed. As it seems to be only you who is complaining, why do you keep on bumping it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topic will not be closed. As it seems to be only you who is complaining, why do you keep on bumping it? Fine, perhaps it's time to play the same game then. Clearly was a troll thread to begin with and has been proven to be so - almost 6-7 years later, despite some wishful thinking on the OP's part. One might think that the stats above prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that if anything, over the last 6 years sinced that OP was made, we have been on the rise and keeping it open serves what purpose? If you choose to leave it until 10 years has passed I guess that means you value the input of someone who started a topic 6 years ago but never appears here in the footy forum from what I can tell over your current users. Fair enough - send me a PM when this topic has reached its expiry date. Until then, enjoy your football forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
