I'd like the optimism to be founded on something other than upanatem and battling.
I'd like people to yearn for the United of John Harris and the first season under Howard Kendall. I'd like people to remember that when upanatem quickly fades, as it always does, you're nowhere unless it's underpinned by the talent of proper footballers playing the game the right way. Remember Muckanettles Morgan - great for a couple of games, then came Portsmouth and....Yeovil. It's rubbish. It doesn't work.
One of the many S2 myths is that it's a choice between skill and passion. In truth winners have both in abundance and the latter is never, ever enough.
Believe me, if crude, simplistic, hoof and hope, but full of passion ale house football was the way to play the game then Barca, Real, Milan, the national teams of Brazil, France, Argentina, Italy and Holland and all the great teams would play that way. They didn't; they don't; they won't.
You seem to confuse getting the ball moved forward quickly with hoofing it forward to a big man to flick it on.
I bet you are one of those who think Leciester just got lucky this season, you would have a problem if we adopted their style wouldn't you?
