Will we see the fast, free-flowing football that the Rags used to play under whiskey breath? I think not.
I think that's what will stand between them winning the CL and/or premier league next season and winning sweet FA
Apologies IW but I must take issue with this statement as it's only the product of decades of Scum propaganda.
I've argued on here, on a number of occasions, that their football has been perennially awful and if you still abide by what you just stated, I think I'd like you to send me some of the stuff you must have been smoking, at that time, for you to form that impression about them.
They've always been a thuggish, anti-footballing, long-ball outfit just playing the percentages game and the football media have just gone along with the ridiculous assertion that they were an attractive side to watch.
Sorry if you think I'm being a bit of a naive footballing purist, but that's just how I see it and how it is. It's the Emperor's clothes syndrome personified.
