{Ed's Note - Shappy has posted a new article entitled, Does the Manchester United Squad Size Matter?

Surely it’s about quality not size, or so I’m told.

I usually find your articles a bit too rose-tinted for my liking Shappy, but I actually agree with you entirely on this one.

While the quality is still lacking for a team with United's ambitions, having such a large squad means that as far as atmosphere around the playing staff goes, it is probably lower than it should be when things are going well (too many players not getting a game, not feeling part of it) and considerably lower when things are not going well (more people feeling miserable means it's harder to lift the mood), and I agree that it's difficult to foster a "one for all" mentality when there's so many ones!

Not that i'm complaining, mind you. :)

11 years since Utd won the title, never thought I’d be saying that a few years ago. Their fans are quiet these days that’s for sure! Long may it continue.
