Yeah I feel like the fans and the club are hiding behind the ‘players are so bad’ narrative. I’m sorry, but those players are NOT in 14th place quality.
Even with this squad they should be breaking into the top 10, at a bare minimum.
The manager is just shit and can’t cut it at this level.
I think there’s perhaps a touch of good fortune that Spurs have had the same season. It kind of makes it seems like one of the big teams (well, Spurs) can have this kind of season . But it’s really unprecedented from both of them for such a heavily fancied side to challenge for CL places to be saved from relegation by such subpar non PL teams at the bottom of the table.
the annoying thing is that at the beginning of each season fans and pundits alike are saying crap like ‘this season you will see the real united’ ‘this season we will return to the big time’ and you have jokers like Neville putting them higher than us in seasons past. Guys you do realise you are pretty much relegation fodder but yet all of sudden you will get in the CL spots
It’s great that two of their biggest legends came out and said it because this would save me a lot of time on any Man Utd fan that tries to flex me the EL if they win it.
I don’t think they’ve realised by the way that if by some chance they fail to win it, they’d be known as the banter club that allowed Spurs to lift a trophy.
I was a bit shocked Scholes said it to be honest because the other day he was adamant we’re bottlers on The Overlap so I thought he must not rate us but he was then very complementary of us when he made his point about swapping our seasons and how great it’d be if Amorim emulates Arteta.
