    On average how many league games each year have Manchester United been crap in since 2013?


    The actual question is "how many trophies did Fergie win at Man Utd?"

    I've no follow up so someone else can go if I don't get to it in the morning

    Might not be your right but it is right :D

    Manchester is still the most liveable city in the UK, according to this year’s Economist Intelligence Unit annual global liveability index.

    It’s the highest ranked city in the UK in 38th place – down three places from last year but still ahead of London, which could only manage 48th.

    Yeah, for some reason it felt right but not right. Four years out isn't bad though.
