Errr, I think Barca have been holding that title for some time. United are one of the best teams in the world, ahead of Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. But Barca are top of that perch. That is not subject to consultation. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Atleast United fans hold their heads high. Had it been some team that we will not mention due to the high rist of heart attacks, they would have wanjirud themselves. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Are you saying that if they were from Turkey we could simply conclude that the Turkish league is superior to the rest? Very pedestrian if you ask me! @ maichblack. You remind me of an African saying: "He who does not travel thinks his mother is the best cook". The truth of the matter is that the EPL is highly marketed and for that reason many Kenyans know nothing about the Spanish league or any other european league. The truth be told, the spanish game is light years ahead of the English game. In fact if teams like villa Real or Valencia had anything close to the finacial muscle of EPL middle table teams, they would thrash Man U Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool any day. Try watching la liga and you will agree with me

Try watching la liga and you will agree with me @redondo, Barca and Real are miles ahead in La Liga. La Liga, world over everyone knows this, has been reduced to a two club competition, I watch it. In England, there's competition. That's what makes it the best league in the world. Google that if you may. Two teams dont make a league, so if they are better than the English teams, doesnt mean their league is better. Porto handed Villareal a 5-1 thrashing. Does it mean Portuguese league is much better than Spanish league? Just a thought... Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

However if you closely examine the quality of players(mostly home bread spanish players)in la liga, the players in england pale in comparison. To these guys, football is an art not a battle of speed or aggression. The average spanish team, given even the kind of budgets that Aston Vila have, would be trasformed to top European Contender

Moral of this Story:- It is in MANU fans', players', managers', whatever else's DNAs to make noise... not a win or loss will make them shut up and move on!
No excuses no explanations on why you didnt win... it was simple, Barca's game is on a level no EPL team has reached... just get over it and move on - we did when you thrashed our team... and of course, it was nice watching you being thrashed near home too.......
Clearly, even for some of us who are not as fanatical about football as many are, this game kept us on the edge! Pure entertainment. MANU was playing good soccer, Barca was on a world-class entertainment stage! Worlds apart! Its like having a number 1 kid in a city school(read well marketed and rich) with 256 marks compete with a number 1 kid in a shags school(read not well marketed and may be not as rich) who has 472 marks! Hawapatani....
*marketed in Kenyan context...
