It's hilarious how many of them over there are going on about 'It's only a statistic... I don't care anyway... it's not that important...'
Funny. It was very important when they rammed the mythological '18' down our throats at every opportunity for 2 decades. 2 decades where they've had about 2 faint title challenges in 21 years, the rest of the time they've been nowhere near, finishing outside the top 4 a lot of times, not even close to challenging for a title... and yet, they clung - increasingly desperately - onto this magical number 18.
Nevermind the fact that none of their current team are anything to do with that record, or the fact that no players in their team have ever won the league, or that they never even get close to winning the league.
Maybe this overtaking will be a good thing for them. We actually knocked them off their perch years and years ago, in the early 90s, when we resigned them to the title wilderness that they still reside in.
They are nowhere near the best team. We're the best team. And now, the best team is the most successful team as well. They're just has-beens. They have been for 21 years, but now perhaps they can finally realise it.
