I don't expect an answer, BTW, just another soundbite..

Because they are judged against their own benchmark of greatness. Poor United teams finish only second in the league. It's tough at the top.
By the glory supporters. Others of us remember that winning a title each season isn't the norm. Rough with the smooth. If this is a rough time, 2nd in the league, still in the cup, still in the CL latter stages, then I think people need a bit of perspective.
But no I was replying to Danbert saying we aren't a threat. Yet we've beaten enough teams this year to show we aren't suddenly a poor team.
Don't support either side but it's interesting viewing. I'm intrigued by the effect that owners seem to have on a club demeanour. Managers and players seem to go from hero to zero overnight apart from a golden few. Fergie has to be the greatest example of a steely ability to ride background storms but its no surprise, given recent global turmoil, that even he seems to be wobbling a bit. For my money, the guys who seem best equipped to follow in his footsteps are Moyes and O'Neill. And Ars8hole Whinger has hung on pretty well. I can only see a pit of despair for Rafa.
Arsene knows, and I'll happily keep backing him....
United aren't a good team Iain. We didn't play well, yet we beat you with what probably wasn't even our reserve defence playing, and missing our current player of the season along with our 2 big strikers.
It was a doggy penalty decision and maybe without it we would be going to the ragery with it at one all. But for me we played in our own half to much with an obvious lack of support up front for most of the game. Our mid-field played so far back that we left ourselves more or less trapped in our own half for a lot of the game.
The annoying thing is that when we did go forward we looked better than you lot. But with the mid-field not moving up to support quick enough our options were few.
In all seriousness I am expecting a big improvement at the Ragery next time with a full squad lined out. If we take the game to you we will win; you are there for the taking.

Rubbish. We created far more chances. Rooney ripped through you like a knife through butter.
We didn't play brilliantly, but for a team who aren't good, we sit a head of you in the league...
The league never lies..that's why the league is the bread and butter. Everyone knows that, even the scousers, despite their 2005 CL win, they know the league is what matters before you can say you're the best team in England.
And being a good team is about playing in the right positions, not just when you get the ball..
and to go on about injuries...Look at the players we have out. Ferdinand, Vidic, Berbatov, Hargreaves, to just name a few. Come on you're having a laugh going on about injuries, straws mate straws and clutching...
Danbert, IainR, do I sense a friendly forfeit-based wager might be called for here?
Sorry, I can't help stirring.

Perhaps something along the lines of whoever's team loses the Carling Cup semi says loud and clear on the forum "You're right, Man Utd/City (delete as appropriate) are clearly the best team in Manchester".My exact thoughts
You can have a similar one at the end of the season regarding league position.
Who dares put their money where their mouth is.
