If the spectrum stretches from "ostrich-like refusal to even entertain the possibility" (1) through to "Buddah-like serenity induced by an absolute immolation of the self " (10) I would put myself at around the 6 mark.

So I'm doing ok, thanks for asking.

Good answer

I turned to your level over the weekend

1) They are well overdue
2) Their pattern of success has been increasing by one year each time
84 to 91 = 7
91 to 99 = 8
99 to 08 = 9
08 to 18 = 10

3) Their temporary home

4) Man U and Chelsea are not what they were

Pah, even if they were to win it one can easily reach for the "it's only a domestic cup" get out card.

I accept the FA Cup on account of the fact that we have won three out of the last four
Otherwise I'd use that card too

There was that time they won two FA cups and a UEFA in three years. That was shít. :-(

Yes it was :-(
The "depressing" part of the 80's

If only Hutchison hadn't strayed from that wall
(That winning goal is overrated imo)

Even worse when your sister decides to support Spurs just to annoy you. We have Chas and Dave records in the house, sir c. Chas. And. Dave.

I can only ever recall them as being labelled a “good cup team” and of course the nonsense with the year ending in 1.

Even the era you speak of, and I am old enough to remember, I don’t seem to recall a true League challenge though let’s be honest it is a long time ago and things are cloudy.

This current lot seems to be the best group they have had in many years, though you still get the feeling something is absent. Even if City were not untouchable I still doubt they would come out on top.
