Lets have a look at 3 trophys that matter eh
League titles 17 (18 in a few weeks time) 18
F.A cups 11 7
European cups 3 5
I make that 31 trophys to 30 and i'm pretty sure the 76000 fans that pack old trafford every week cast a larger shadow than the 45000 bin dippers
Lets break that down, and look at trophies won during the two clubs period of domination in football:
Liverpool (1972-1990)
League titles 11
Euro Cups 4 (won over a nine year period.....and 2 Uefa cups as well)
F.A cups 4
Man. U (1992-date)
League titles 10 (could be 11 by season end)
Euro Cups 2 (over same nine year period.....CWC won pre 1992)
F.A. cups 4 (could be 5)*
That breaks down as 18 to (potentially) 17......you're still behind!!
And should we even include the FA Cup in
"trophies that matter"??
Seem to remember United not being that concerned about the history and tradition of the FA cup a few seasons back!!
