Of course beating United would be a good result Zim. We rarely do it, so even though they're pretty shit now they're still more than capable of causing us trouble.

That's due to our inadequacies though, right now they're an awful side, just look at some of their results, the fact we struggle to beat them shouldn't detract from that.
It would only be a good result in context of how poor we have been against them in recent times, but in reality given the position of both sides and the state of each club it wouldn't be.
I agree they can cause us trouble but again that's because they have a decent forward line and goals win matches, once again it shows the merit of having decent forwards over a midfield you expect to score goals.
The fact they are champions is kinda irrelevant, that was with Ferguson in charge and they guy worked miracles given how average his squad was, but then he was once of the world's best ever managers.
The fact we hardly beat them is again due to our inadequacies, it doesn't reflect how good they are (not this season anyway). If you look at how poor they have been this season and they're results in even the most recent times they are not a good side.
If you're basing it on our psychological block and their past achievements under a previous manager then yes it's a good result, if you're basing it on their side this season and their performances however it isn't, it's a result people should expect.
Well yes we lost to them this season, but again we failed to turn up, had we played like we can we'd have won because look at how many poor results they've had this season. The irony is they didn't even play well in that match, we got done by a striker who can score goals (always a risk when teams have goalscorers).
It would be great to beat them, I don't think it would have quite the same meaning as it would have had when Ferguson was in charge however.
