this mancs team is damn damn over-rated, they played us lost twice, and got trashed at home. they were totally out played by barca, scholes and the diving king is lucky to not get send off.
the great mancs team was when giggs was the best left mid in the world, beckham the best crosser of the ball, keane the mafia boss in the middle, and scholes used to wait outside the box for the kill. andy cole needs 7 chances to score one, but still managed to score a handful. i used to think when peter schmeichel retires their empire will crumples, but sadly crack are showing only now.
name a mancs midfielder will like to take into our team now? hell, in the 90's i will want all their 4 midfielders. but not now, u can see how they are slowly crumpling, in fact, how they wish they have our 3 against barca in the final.
and ya, they won the league, well, sometimes sh.i.t` happens.... Inter won 4 league titles in a row, but we will beat them half drunk, half awake, but i cant say the same against ac milan or juventus.
If you look at this season I think we have been the best side and for the first time in a long time we have played the best football and provided the best entertainment of any team in our league and probably only second on the overall entertainment value stakes to Barcelona for most entertaining World team.
United's humiliating defeat to Barcelona might just be a wake up call to our national media, because I believe they simply back the side who they believe will keep the highest television ratings and highest revenue streams pouring in to the Premier League, as it ultimately means more money for them and that their opinions as journalists are given some credibility outside the UK.
That Barcelona have been the most entertainning side in Europe this season and comprehensively outclassed what is at best a very direct United side with better players than most other sides can afford could sway the TV ratings and World football opinion as to which is the best league in World football, and with it where the best players decide to ply their trade and where those who buy the rights to televise games put their biggest money. By backing this United side more heavily than ever this season as they so desperately needed it to see them through and hailing them as invincible and all conquering our national media have scored a massive own goal and they need to revise their thinking.
We need to keep working hard and developing our game as we have done in each season since Rafa arrived, we also need the Americans to get their hands in their pockets and at least fund the signing of a second top quality striker. Concentrating on our own game and continually improving will see the tables turn.
