18 and that’s a fact!

Manchester United Win 18th League TitleThis weekend we saw Manchester United crowned the champions of England for the 18th time and boy was this number emphasized. You see, United’s arch rivals Liverpool are also currently on 18 league titles. Now that United are level their fans saw fit to rub this in a bit, especially since Liverpool haven’t won the league since 1990.

It was even more of an issue because of Rafa’s rant earlier in the season where he strangely produced a piece of paper during a press conference which had a list of what he kept referring to as facts. This was too many people’s amusement, especially United’s fanbase, and many commented that “Rafa was cracking up” which has been chanted at a few grounds this season.

Bring on the day that United were set to face Arsenal at Old Trafford - only a point was needed - and a point is what they got. United’s fans turned out in thousands, 75,468 of them to be precise, with a variety of banners of which the majority referred to the fact that it was their 18th.

Now United can look forward to the champions’ league final in Rome, where they face Barcelona. If they win it could mean they repeat the success they had last year and then some - roll on Rome.
