    Apparently not a ManU fan before 1993.

    Maybe it's my age, but I remember when the odd FA Cup was considered success.

    If history is in any way relevant, surely the last 10 years would be a better starter point for where United's expecatations should lie, rather than the pre-big money era?

    The reality is, United have revenues miles above their domestic rivals, are spending in numbers miles above their domestic rivals and the last 10/15 years tells us that bigger spend on wages and transfer fees directly correlates to league position. So United fans expecting success is a logical end point for this, not some crazy delusions of spoilt fans.

    So the expectations I had in the 80s should reflect my current expectations ? weird.

    No no, merely pointing out that the idea that first and first alone is the ManU way is laughable. There were whole decades when they were nowhere near first. It's all about perspective, no demonstrable hyperbole.

    Fair enough but it was actually 92 not 93 where the expectation to come first started. It just didn't work out the first time. :)

    Your post showed a mind-melting lack of self awareness and I thought it was hilarious. Happy?

    Yeah, top form kid.
    Not sure where you're getting that from though. I'm pretty consistent and up front with my feelings and thoughts on everything. I don't go around pretending otherwise so there's nothing much to find funny there.
