I really couldn't give a shit if we're first, last or in between. I certainly won't be embarrassed by it. If we're going down, let's get it over and done with.
I started watching United in Division 3, started going on my own in Division 3 and can honestly say that it was some of the most fun times I've had watching United. I live in eternal hope of watching a successful United team, but other than the odd promotion (4 in my lifetime) and cup run (I think that's 3) we've been continuously mediocre. Our support on the other hand has been outstanding, entertaining and the whole reason for going in all but our most successful seasons. A couple of thousand on an away trip acting the fool has been some of the happiest times I've had - the team has usually been crap, but the game always seemed secondary.
I'm not saying it's right - clearly we should be better than we are. I'm just not that bitter, bothered or fussed about what anyone else thinks.
