I am a Manchester United fan. A fairly unabashed one. When they win, I get a lift. When they lose, no lift.
So when they signed Wayne Rooney at the start of the season and when he scored a sensational hat-trick on his debut, I became envisioning sitting at some pub come next May cheering on the Red Devils as they complete the treble once again.
But NOoo noo no. *shakes head*
They are now 12 points behind Chelsea. Ryan Giggs' doesn't have a contract extension. Ruud Van Nistelrooy is sidelined till mid February, ditto for Louis Saha, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.... Oh man, help, that guy has been injured for the past 2 years.
BUT besides the injuries, where's the teamwork and attacking flair that Man Utd is famous for? These days the team is depending on individual flashes of magic from players like Giggs and Scholes to sneak in a goal.
And when these star players aren't performing, the team tries to force everything, both offensively and defensively.
And yesterday, the Red Devils drew goaless at Old Trafford against Exeter, a team comprising of part-timers, a team that can't even make it to the Third Division. A team that has to buy their own boots.
THAT says it all, doesn't it?
