I would not exactly consider talking about 4 years ago and 26 years ago the same thing. 13 years ago maybe... see what I did there.I see what you did there and although I think it was very clever, I'll have to point out that the last time we ended 4th - United were actually 7th. The season after that United was actually 4th and we we're 3rd. Last season with us in 2nd United could only manage 5th. Maybe try that kind of banter again when you guys actually manage to finish above mediocre Arsenal again.
Your gut is now going to tell you to point at your trophy cabinet, but don't because even Liverpool can do that.

I suppose you're right. The thought of only 4 years ago as oppose to 13 or 26 will be a great comfort when you switch on the TV to watch football on a [-]Thurs[/-]Spursday.

At least ManU is not wasting their money on Zltan like Liverpool wasted their money on Mario Balotelli when they signed him up. ( see Balotelli is no going to some other unfortunate club)

Speaking of 4...is that the goal again this season, with 2nd being a total exceed in expectations?
I know right imagine the players we could have attracted if we played on Tues/Weds players like Vardy, Higuain etc
Looking at what Wenger and Gazidi's is up to it seems that they've swapped the 4th place is a trophy for "We're financially very run Football associated Institution Certificate".

A Liverpool supporter with sense, must be an imposter.

Is attracting expensive players a thing now. I don't understand. 100mil last season got you 5th. We didn't even buy an outfield player and ended 3 spots and 7 points above you.
Suppose if 4th Place is trophy then "We can spend the most money" can also be one.

Imposter...
New managers = new players. And like most I don't care how much or how little we spend it's about quality and we do not set the price which is us 10-20% higher than for other clubs. I am as exited to see Zlatan who was free play as Rashford who was also free. Maybe if Wenger splashed the cash on the biter 3rd would have been 1st.Is attracting expensive players a thing now.
