As the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, i knew that with it, Man utd's chances of defending the title virtually evaporated. With this draw, arsenal's lead extended to 9 points and to add insult to injury, roman's rich boy club Chelsea overtook Man utd to 2nd place. The result was bad, but what made it even more disappointing was the manner Man utd effectively conceded their title asiprations. Sure, Man utd came back from this sort of position last season to claim the crown, but this time their fighting spirit was not evident.
Even as a Man utd fan, i'm beginning to question Ferguson's choice of tactics. I can understand the FA cup match with Fulham is coming, that they had just played in the Champ League on Wed, but to rest the Goalie and main striker is absolutely baffling. Watching the match on telly, it seems that the midfield needs some sorting out. There's no one to close them down in the park, every ball in the middle seems to go to Fulham. The defence is not playing an offside trap but neither is it fast enough to close down players like Boa morte. Roy Carroll in goal makes me wanna laugh. The goal he conceded was fucked up. Instead of saving the ball with his legs, he was more concerned with falling down on his big fast ass. Why the fuck is he still a man utd player i cannot fathom.
Maybe it's time to let Ferguson. It's been a great ten years of glory and joy he has brought to the club. I'm grateful to him for bringing players like cantona and Rvn to Man utd, for bringing up players like giggs and scholes through the club. But the decision to let Becks go.. simply.. fucked. Maybe his lifestyle is not the one you would have liked, fergie, but he is still the captain of the England national team. He knows his limit. Letting a world class player go and bringing in a portugese kid more renowned for doing stepovers than his crossing and passing, it just ain't the same. The likes of Djemba-djemba and kleberson are just not in the same league as ronaldhino and nedved. I just hope this is not the end of the dynasty..
