generally, a fair point, but odd
that you should pick the one time inthe past 30 years that United failed to win a title for 7 years after being champions, choosing to ignore the multiple, consecutive double titles and triple titles. More to the point, United would have won 7 on the trot were it not for the Drogba offside title and the City/QPR stopped playing title which we lost by 1point and goal difference, respectively. Not exactly a major drop off from the previous seasons efforts. So regal, you have a list of four beyond Uniteds serial winning era. United also competed on both PL and European fronts on nearly all titles, whereas both Liverpool and Chelsea threw in the towel on the title to save their focus for a single minded crack at the CL winsOf course, the game’s frenetic pace and stresses will see that Fergie’s achievements won’t be repeated in the PL and Liverpool’s unsustainable (suspicious) energies will not be maintained. Remains to be seen if their bubble has burst at both player and managerial level. Even City, with unlimited resources struggle to make consecutive titles. Since Uniteds domination there has been a fair turnover of champions, despite every August, people assume the incumbents will walk it again. They don’t, often, which also supports just how difficult it is to maintain the standard. Something that even most reds never appreciated when Fergie ruled.
