1 - Lets see
Whatever floats your boat, I'm happy watching United.
2 - I disagree, it depends on what standard you judge them with. The key thing to remember is that form is temporary whereas class is permanent.
3 - Why not? you don't have to "date back" to the Carroll nonsense, it was relatively recent.
4 - We don't spend to compensate for losing SAF, we spend to compensate for losing Scholes, Vidic, Rio, Evra, Hernandez, Rooney (more or less), RVP, Fletcher and Giggs. I never said we have a right to win trophies, thats just you being insecure about United's stature. Remember I'm not arguing United's transfer business has been amazing, I'm just saying its been better than yours.
If you want to talk about spending consider this, you're the fourth highest spender in the PL's history and haven't won the league PL yet....
