Is Manu the EPL version of the LA Lakers?

Do the Lakers invest in high priced individual talent that doesn't seem to fit together very well? I gave up on the NBA years ago, and honestly don't know. But if that's what the Lakers do, then yes, right now ManU fits that description.

As things stand now they look pretty far off from being able to contend again. And with no Champions League to offer new recruits it will likely take them a bit longer to fix things anyway. They'll be back eventually, but I think it is a good 3 transfer windows for anyone to shore up their current situation fully.
 
Valhalla is where the supporter's club meets in Charlotte and the group is excellent. Check it out when you get to town

Liverpool remains the only club to lead at Christmas and not win the title within the last decade.

And they've done it multiple times.

United blew an 8 point lead with 6 games remaining in 11-12. Seems worse than blowing a Christmas Day lead with an entire 2nd half of the season still to be played, no?

To be clear, it was 32 points. 98-66=32.

Most surprising are the club's point totals since 2012, when City took the title away in the final 6 weeks of the season.

Prior to that year you had to go all the way back to 1991 to find a ManU team with fewer than 70 points in a top flight season.

Since then ManU's point totals are:

89 (won the title; 2013)
64 (2014)
70 (2015)
66 (2016)
69 (2017)
81 (2018)
66 (2019)

7 seasons; 4 of them with point totals below 70. And this is also the 4th time they've fallen out of the Top 4 since 2012.

SAF fought back and won with pretty much the same squads on both sides of Manchester the next season.


It's been an abject failure since then at United. United misses Gil just about as much as SAF.

Yeah, Sir Alex Ferguson was really fucking good, wasn't he?

He hid a lot of the damage done by the Glazers. Then when Gil went away and Woodward took over it only got worse.



Are you going to tell me something I don't know next or just repeat things I've already said straight back to me some more? Lazy ass post.
