Preamble

Let’s beryllium honest: this is really, really funny. Manchester United and Tottenham person had a shocking clip successful the league this play (15th and 16th respectively, 35 defeats betwixt them, record-breaking worldly successful a atrocious way).

And yet present they are, acceptable to vie successful a European final. Spurs could triumph their archetypal large trophy successful 17 years. A United triumph would marque it 3 consecutive seasons of silverware; adjacent successful crisis, they someway find a mode to compete.

Which leads to a genuine question regarding fandom. Would you alternatively opt for a play of solidity, fantabulous shot to spell with expansive results but nary trophy pay-off (Arsenal), oregon a twelvemonth of misery until a glorious and triumphant time retired astatine Wembley etc? I’m leaning towards the erstwhile but would beryllium funny to perceive from others.

Drop maine a enactment with your thoughts connected that and immoderate different matters arsenic we physique up to different play of, let’s look it, alternatively inconsequential Premier League action.
