United - We Never Die

It was gonna happen. Sooner rather than later. United's run of games has been near flawless. Having watched United for years, I've come to be accustomed with sloppy runs and scrappy wins. A series of what unearthly fuckers haters would call, luck, but we'll get to that later. 

So as I was saying, having watched United for years, I've been so used to United last minute wins consisting of an endless 1-0 scoreline. Lucky calls. Fergie Association. Bla bla blah. Yada yada yada. This time, however, United have managed to pull wins, almost out of the hat even when playing like fucken shit 99% of the time. 

Perhaps I'd jinxed it. I was almost afraid because everything was going too well! And there it goes, my spidey sense had been true all along. The repeat of the 2010's exit from the Cup...

The ref just had to have the final say. The game was going so well and going in the direction of United. I almost couldn't believe my eyes as United wreaked havoc to a Real team fresh from inflicting 2 defeats in a row to the immaculate Barca, so to speak.

Just like it was in 2010, you can't help but feel robbed. Your team played so well against clear favourites, the ref just had to come and ruin it. I was bitter for a couple of days. But boy, am I proud. 

It will always be a question of "What if.." but there shall be no answer in that. The boys played their hearts out. Giggsy at 40 is just inhuman. How in the hell did he relive the heydays of his 20's and reverse the greys in his hair is anybody's guess. But they made me proud.

One of the most glaring flaw of United, one which is also the reason I hold United so dear to my heart is its ultra-attacking minded approach. Indoctrinated within the United genes, it dictates that they attack and attack even when down to 10 men with ruthlessness and vigor of a team who had burnt the bridges and would never go back. 

And for that I am proud, the bitterness gone. I now know that THE better team lost that night. 

That, if you aint too shallow minded to begin with, will answer why it was never really luck which has brought this fortune. It is simply the sheer hatred for losing and the never say die attitude.

United. We never die.

Just Go (Don't Look Back)

Portugal out of Euro 2008, serve Ronaldo just right. Don't get me wrong, am a staunch Manchester United fan, and I don't have any grudge against Portugal coz frankly, I think they possess some of the greatest talents in the world. Its just that LATELY, I've been getting weary of Ronaldo's childish antics and oh, grrreed.

1. Childish Antics

Yes, the dude's TALENTED. Hands down. But why, why in the whole wide world that you'd think that the mess' judgment would weigh on your side simply because of that ? Say, the dude stops the game, simply because HE BELIEVES that this other dude from this other team has fouled him. OMG, you don't simply stop the game until the ref's blown his whistle, thats basic, no ? You'd be gloriously getting a slap on your face telling a 6-year old kid to stop the game simply because you believe that he was roughed up. Erm, maybe I was getting a little too far there, but I think I speak of my point quite clearly.

2. Grrrrrrreed.

OK, Real Madrid are champions, yes nobody's questioning that. But Manchester United are the clear winners for the recent Champions League campaign, AND a consecutive winner for two Premier Leagues, if he's so keen on winning trophies. So what the fuck are these talks about him being 'uncertain about his future, until Euro has wrapped up' ? Henceforth, keeping the probable transfer window open. Nothing but pure grrrreed and stardom (?) seeking bastard, I'd say.

What about all these Galácticos who's all keen to play in Spain regardless of so many Galáctico-turn-Gelakgilo once they entered Spanish stage ? Are their balls too big that they're blinded to all this ?

And now Portugal is out of the picture, decide now. And if hes so keen to leave, let him be, MU doesnt need a bratty and arrogant punk who thinks hes so big that he's helped MU win this and that trophies, we keep and recruit PURE talents who wants to PLAY FOR US. Premier League wasnt won alone, same goes or even more so for the Champions League, so if you think you're a super LONE force to be reckon with, go ahead and leave.
