Manchester (Dis)United!

As all my frends know, i have been a Man U supporter for almost a decade now...Not the fairweather kind of fan, mind you, but the crazy die-heart supporter whose mood rises and falls according to the highs and lows of Man U's season. Therefore i haf decided to put down in writing my thoughts on wat an absymal season this has been...

Last night i watched in dismay as my heroes crashed to a 1-0 defeat against Everton. In years past losing would have been a major shock but recently, it has become more like a commonplace occurance..But more revealing than the loss was the players attitudes..A certain idiot by the name of Neville kicked a ball at the spectator when the team was already losing, juz becuz the spectator had insulted him, promptly getting himself sent off..Meanwhile the rest of the team huffed and puffed, displaying virtually no creativity and some players trudged about wearily, disinterested in winning the game..Towards the end, another joker by the name of Scholes aimed a kick at the butt of an everton player and earned himself a dismissal..

The abovementioned behaviour is already unacceptable at the anateur football levels(for e.g my sunday soccer team), wat more a team of highly paid professionals whose weekly wages are wat my dad earns in a year?!

And this was the year when wonderkids like Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney were supposed to lead the way for the club to further glory!!
