I agree entirely - I suppose the rationale goes that

Beating these teams with style may mean nothing, but it is an improvment on getting beaten by them. For all of those players that sont make it, recent youth teams that have done well in the Youth Cup and league:

Man U in early 90's = all most all of their title winning players late 90's

Wet Spam late 90's = Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand et al

Man C mid 00's = all those players that should have and would have been in their first team had the oil bloke not turned up

Ipswich early / mid 00's = produced players that has meant in the recent few seasons they have kept their heads above water a little more than us.

Weak argument, I know - but...
