I would refute that part of the statement as for the first 80 or more years of footballing history

we were that great ! better than the likes of manure, puddles, arsenal, et al

it is only the last 30 years or so that we haven't been "that great" except in flashes.
that is why i said our times

i have seen us in europe i have seen us in the chapions league
i have seen us blow a 12 point lead
i have seen us in division 2

but not many of us would have seen us lift silverware

yet most of us would have only seen us have 5-6 good years

a few finals
an intertoto
great days out in the champos league better days out in the europa league

but for mosyt of our lifetimes we are living on past glories
