Manchester United
11 successive win in league, Quaterfinal in Champions League, Semifinal in FA Cup, with League Cup and World Club Cup in the bag. All these are done without getting out of 2nd gear, and yet we are in this position, I doubt so.
Comparing this season performance to last season performance, it's like comparing the size of a mosquito to an elephant, i don't see any magic from Ronaldo, i don't see any free flowing football. The only reason why we are still in this position, is solely due to the solid defence. We did an unbelievable 14 clean sheets in a row in league. Last week, 1-4 thumping by Liverpool in front of our own fans, certainly proved this. And I predict this would be the deciding point for our season.
It would only go two ways.
First one, we will go on and win the lot. These lads certainly need a slap on their face to wake them up, telling them no major trophies are won yet. We are not even out of our 2nd gear so far this season, most of the games won are by 1 goal margin, 1-0. Seriously we have been really lucky so far. A kick on their ass would certainly help, wake them up and yea, it's time to start our battle.
2nd consequence, all the way down, nothing will be won. 1-4 thumping by Liverpool in Old Trafford, to come out from this, real bottle is needed. It is a test to all the players, mentally and physcologically. Can they really stand up to the challenge and keep going on ? Big question mark. It's all down to the match against Fulham in Craven Cottage.
And so, the game ended up with 2-0 lost, 2 red cards, sending off Scholes and Rooney. It's really frustrating to see this happening and I really got nothing to say when the final whistle blown. WTF i asked myself. Is this the early sign that we are going towards my 2nd prediction ? I hope it's not. But I keep scratching my head and ask myself, what the hell SAF is doing by putting out this kind of line-up ?
Once I saw Giggs and Scholes were playing together in the middle of the park, I whispered to myself, THIS TIME CHIAKLAT LIAO, and it did. Scholes handed the ball deliberately + goal-bound, straight red card, a fair one. I don't know what SAF was thinking, but to put Giggs and Scholes in the middle, Park on the left, Fletcher on the right, Ronaldo and Berbatov up front, is a total madness. Giggs and Scholes are both in their 30s, there wont be any fierce battle for the ball in the middle, and both of them are too slow. To be paired together in the middle, it is a real disaster and it was proven with the domination of Fulham in the early 10 minutes. I would rather put Fletcher and Scholes in the middle, Giggs behind Berbatov, with Ronaldo and Park on the flanks, does it sound much better ? I don't know, ask SAF.
2nd goal conceeded was a bit controversial. High boot foul should be given against Fulham but ref waived it on. Rooney red card was also debatable, he threw the ball back to place where it should be, but with that kind of emotion and manner he showed, I saw it given before. Anyway, a lost is a lost, and it is really annoying. DAMN IT !
With now, a possible 10 points lead were cut down to only 1 point lead, with 1 game in hand, if Liverpool wins tomorrow. Things are getting harder now and anything could happen, remember we yet entertain Arsenal at home. With Vidic, Scholes, Rooney out for the game next against Villa, it's really hard to say. To bounce back from this, United players really need much more courage and guts than it was thought. And I dare to predict, the next game vs Aston Villa would certainly be the deciding match for our season, a win will certainly lift us off from this bad ass discouraging situation, and we will go on and win the lot, given the luck we have in Champions League drawing. Another lost will definitely kick us down into the drain, no way back.
With so much emotion I wrote this, two losses in a row really pissed me off. Hopefully we can bounce back strongly next game. Another thing, Berbatov certainly doesnt worth 30M, he is good in goal poarching, good composure, but lack of speed + super lazy + low determination. I rate Tevez slightly in front of him, but yet Tevez doesnt worth 32M either.
Lastly, I hate watching football together with nuts. To whom it may concern, don't talk so much during the game if you dont know football, it's really annoying and u guys look damn stupid to me. Come on, be patient and support your team even though they are playing badly, football is not as easy as you thought, u thought u are playing XBOX in front of your 42 inches LCD screen ? Fcuk OFF ! Go onto the field and you will know how difficult it is !! I'm not expert in football but I certainly believe I'm better than u all in that sense. And also to those ManUtd fans who were fucking bullish when United won the League Cup, where were you ? 1-4 thumping by Liverpool, where were you ? What you said was, "Nevermind la, give Liverpool win la, they so long never win MU liao, 1 match only, give la give la." Damn it, I damn pissed off listenning to this, gives credit where credit due !! Liverpool was the better side on that day !! Asking u why not staying back watching ManUtd celebration after win in League Cup final, u said, "Nevermind la, got 3 more celebrations to see" WALAO EH ! Even I am a die hard ManUtd fan I wouldnt have say so ! You make yourself looked like a CLOWN to me ! Damn you glory hunter !!
Ok, end it here. At least I am better off now with Chelsea losing 1-0 to Spurs. No matter how, United till I die !!! Bring on Villa !!!!!!!!!
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED !!!!!!!!!!
