sure, we've definitely been blessed, but the point still stands, how was he to know, at the time, that we'd continue to be so successful? 10-15 years ago you could've easily picked Arsenal too, who looked just as comfortable back then. I don't think you could've predicted at the time which team was going to have the more successful ten years, could you? Hell, you could've easily picked Chelsea in 02/03 either. I really don't see how you can criticise him for 'picking' Utd at the time, unless you think he's psychic.
