Manchester United, I mean. They're on course to win a fourth consecutive league title and to reach their third successive Champions League final - both of which are (as far as I know) unprecedented. But when I watch them play, I don't see either a glorious irresistible attacking beast (like they were, let's be honest, in the late 90s) nor an unbeatable grind-it-out machine (like Chelsea were under Mourinho), never mind an utterly dominant melange of the two (us in 87/88; Arsenal in their Invincible year). All I see is a bunch of hard-working, fairly ordinary players instilled with a ferocious belief and will to win, plus one great striker. That's it.
They should not have won all the stuff they have recently - it's purely down to their shite competition: Chelsea, who change their manager every season; Arsenal, who insist on playing a virtual youth team out of some vague principle that no one else understands; and Liverpool, who are - despite possessing four players who would walk into any team in the world (Reina, Mascherano, Gerrard, Torres) - a fucking bleak joke of a club, on the point of total implosion.
I can't even remember why I started writing this or what my point is, but it pisses me off that such an un-amazing football team can be in the historic position that they're in now.
Cunts.
