Can you take out 5 of those years please..seeing as all English clubs were banned from 1985 to 1990
I'm very happy with our domestic dominance, thanks. 9 Premiership titles out of 15 with the % of the others in runners-up isn't bad. 3 Premiership winning teams built over that period.
Yes getting some better European results would be nice to go with it, but not everyone can do the Prem/Euro double or treble for that matter every year.
Why has it come full circle? Liverpool are STILL playing catch up on United no matter how many Euro cups you may get as you cannot get the league form you all want. Last title you won was in 1989/90 season. Read it again and let it sink in exactly how long ago that was... 17 years !!
Getting close to that "26 years" bollox city and Liverpol fans always used to crow about the last time Utd won the league.
Since you last won the title you have 3 FA Cups, 3 League Cups, 1 Uefa Cup and 1 European Cup. Hardly a trophy list of the 'full circle' and Liverpool dominance is it.
We can all list facts and figures Redkop, but face it, since the Prem started United have dominated and only Arsenal and Chelsea more recently have bothered to make a fight out of it.
Forget "well we've won it 5 times". I'm talking recent history, not overall club history.
Since Sir Alex took over we may well have only been to 1 Euro Final (which we won btw), but we have NINE Prem trophies, 5 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 1 Cup-Winners Cup and 1 European cup in that time. I don't think that's a bad tally overall do you ???
