Indeed Man U got very arrogant especially during its so called hey
days in the 1990s and early part of this century. That era was
really the golden period for the team and they reigned unchallenged
and supreme in the EPL and also did well in Champs League.
During this time, not only the club and Fergie but also the fans
and supporters became very cocky and arrogant, teasing not only the
Liverpool but also other supporters and at times going over the
top.
From a personal perspective and point of view those were bad days
and I really prayed and wished that if not Liverpool, another team
could rise to the scene and be a worthy opponent to Man U and wasnt
it just sickening to see them get trophy after trophy and victory
after victory?
Looking at this scenario, it reminds me of something like the cold
war last imt between the old Soviet Union and America. Last time
cos of the presence of the USSR, the power in this world was
balanced and in fact I felt it was better that way. Now with USA as
the sole superpower, America could become very arrogant and cocky,
if they are not already like that.
Like the EPL, there must be also a balance of power. Man U became
so arrogant cos they were previously the sole power, in the 1990s
and early 21st Century. Now that Arsenal has arrived on the scene,
I really hope that Arsenal and even better other clubs can come
onto the scene and challenge the dominace of Man U.
In a way it really seems to me that Arsenal are the answer to my
prayers and that they have come to knock Man U off the
summit.
This is rally a huge relief for the Anybody But Utd group as Man U
were so powerful at 1 stage that it seemed that nobody would ever
be able to touch them and they were going stronger and
stronger.
If other clubs especially Liverpool can rise up and challenge that
will be so much better as it will make for a much more competitive
EPL.
I do notice nowadays that the Man U fans are not so cocky anymore
and in fact they do not seem to want to acknowledge that Arsenal
are rising. This really gives me the impression that they are very
clever and smart to boo and jeer others when they are on top but do
not want to take the flak when the tide turns and the boot is on
the other foot.
I presonally do not really mind Arsenal rising up cos for one
thing, they help to balance the power in the EPL and wipe the smile
off Man U faces especially from that on Fergies face. Moreover from
my personal experience and observation, Arsenal fans are not so
cocky and arrogant.
At the same time I do wish to urge caution in writing Man U off
prematurely, Arsenal have not won the title yet and Man U are not
completely out of the running. Arsenal must still win more EPL
titles to confirm their status as the superpower of the EPL.
Just my $5 worth.
