Neville knows that's not how it works. How much better were the rags last time Ferguson won the title, to when they won it with Hughes and Cantona 20 years ago ?
If City got significantly better every year, 3 years from now we would win every game.
He's a cunt.
We can't improve each year forever, that's true. But if we don't improve on what we currently have, then winning the Champs league will remain out of our grasp. Our club does have high ambitions. It is the cartel of clubs that cut our spending which is the real problem, whilst clubs with huge debt can continue to spend.
How long did it take baconface to win the champions league? Until he did, did the rags not progress at all during their premier league wins?
Nobody is saying we can't progress FURTHER mate. And you're right, we will need to to become the greatest team in the world. Of course.
But we have undoubtedly progressed since our first title win, scoring more goals than anyone else, progressing to the knock out stages of the champs league and winning a double.
I'm all for progress to come. I'm also all for current progress being credited and praised.
Not ignored, denied and sneered at from a rag who has no other reason to do so, other than he is a rag.
It was never said about the rags. Even though they were handed easy groups for the most part in the champs league, due to their "co efficiency", whilst we were handed "the group of death" every season until the current one.
This same cunt said last week during the qpr match that united have progressed under van gaal.
Have they?
And if so, using the same points as above, explain how?
I'm honestly baffled by his rant on sunday.
Especially as it has come halfway through a season in which we are in a race for our first back to back title win, capable of doing a stronger double with fa cup and league and also qualifying for the quarter finals of the champions league for the first time ever.
Capable, in fact, of doing the infamous treble, however unlikely that might be.
Had we beaten Arsenal convincingly, like we usually do in recent years (becoming a 15 game unbeaten streak if I'm not wrong?), then none of this shit would have been spouted.
He came out with this horseshit because we lost to Arsenal and it has been the first opportunity in a long time for him to have a dig.
The only difference between the pressure he is trying to apply to the finest team in the premier league and the pressure Mourinho is trying to apply to us, is the manner in which it is being presented.
Where has the praise been for the fact that we played a huge chunk of the season so far without the spine of our team.
Where is the praise for the fact that we faced the toughest part of the season with NO FUCKING STRIKER?!! And came through it UNBEATEN?!
Why is it "now or never" for City?
He played his cards very well up until now, but he can see that the rags have not progressed one inch since spending an absolute fortune and he needs this team to regress in order for his team to stand any chance. As a rag fan.
Every honest rag will tell you the same thing.
It took 13 years for Fergie to win the Chams league, so fair comment. It's part of the anti city agenda to give us no time at all. Maybe it's time to enjoy our success a bit more instead of analysing Neville's comments. I have thought seriously about cancelling Sky, but I should nt have to.
