Hey mate,

Decline and fall of English footballing empires

All good things come to an end Are United and Arsenal declining like the giants of the past?

The Premiership lived similar periods of time that's controled by only one club, and here are the deatails:

Leeds United 1968-1974

What they achieved Twice champions (three times runners-up), once FA Cup winners in a six-season period.

Then what Did not finish in the top three until 1992 when they won last First Division title before creation of the Premiership.

Liverpool 1975-1990

What they achieved 10-times champions (four times runners-up); twice FA Cup winners and European champions on four occasions (1977, 1978, 1981 and 1984) in 15-year period.

    It's all about the business cycle, you know. You have your ups and downs. Let's hope that Manure stays "down" for a while. Glazor has so far done a great job. Let him continue on his jerney of destroying the club.

    Real Madrid shall go in the same direction.

    Just like MU is overshadowed by Chelski, Real is by mighty Barcelona, still undefeated since September in all competitions.

    So as long as Barca is as strong as it is today- Real's performance will not be appreciated imo.

    Man Utd aren't all that much weaker than in the past. Sure, they're less consistant, but consider that in the middle of their "crisis", they're still second in England behind a rampant Chelsea team who are among the best in Europe. Sure, Scholes and Giggs are getting on, but so are Thuram, Nedved and Del Piero. Fergie's ridden the storm better than I imagined he would and I wouldn't be surprised to see them rise again in a year or two.
