I know it would come across as knee jerk, but I kinda agree with them.
It's not even close to accurate.. Past 10 years we've been closer to winning the league than them, closer to winning the Cl than them, won more trophies than them. Like @field442 said, we used to get ridiculed for doing what the Sp**s are doing right now..
And I'll say it, I wouldn't trade places with Sp**s for the next 5 years, their window is closing quickly and unless they actually are able to win anything of note, they'll have nothing to show for their "golden generation".
