Yeh, that's how it's supposed to be. I don't agree with you guys either.

if by your comment about the midfield your saying that we dont have depth in the squad your right. but as this season shows, when we play our best mid - scholes, giggs, christiano ronaldo (the best player in the prem) and carrick, we are the best team. just hoping injury wise we stay sound.

Actually, I meant your midfield both depth-wise and starting line-up wise. That midfield is good no doubt (Cronaldo is not the best player though), but it's not on par with Arsenal's and Chelski's imo.
Scholes and Giggs aren't the Scholes and Giggs from 99 anymore, and I think you guys paid WAY too much for Carrick. Not to mention, that Fletcher and O'Shea seem to get a lot of time in your midfield too.

and not trying to stir an arguement but you have to admit you were pretty lucky to make it in2 the CL this time, with the last game of tyhe season relying on tottenham losing for arsenal to slip in because of your win. tottenham really deserved it.

Actually, Spurs only had to draw against West Ham, when we won our match. And they lost.
And when you take into account...
-it being our transitional season (due to Vieira leaving and us not getting a replacement -> the youngsters got more responsibility and experience),
-us making it to the CL-final,
-our extensive injuries (I mean, Flamini was playing at left-back etc.), and
-the somewhat dodgy opening goal Spurs scored against us in the last derby at Highbury, to earn a draw...
I'd say, WE deserved to qualify for the CL.
Btw, here's a small clip of the last match-day of last season...
That has to be one of my favourite birthdays.
