United vs Derby, Clueless friends
I never thought I'd say this, but we were completely gash last night. Totally rubbish. Honest, I've never seen us play so bad. It was like we had no interest in winning or for that matter, even scoring a single goal. Urgh, I can't believe I got out of my warm cozy bed at 1:30 am to watch this.There was not even a single player who put in a half-decent performance, except maybe Jonny Evans. Tells you something when a 19 yr old defender is the only player worth watching. I just hope it was because they are saving themselves for Sunday. Now you better play out of your skins against Chelsea, otherwise there is no other excuse for being so rubbish.
*sighs* sorry, I think the lack of sleep is making me irritated, it has been a very long day. Ok, maybe things aren't quite so bad. After all, it's a pretty meaningless game, and if we are going to be awful in one game every season, I'd much rather prefer it to be in the Carling Cup. Besides, they do have to come to Old Trafford, and I'm pretty sure we'll win that one comfortably to take the semi-final. But it was still disappointing to watch. I think he got the whole team selection wrong. Scholesy and Anderson should not have played together in midfield, I don't think it was a game that suited them. I would have preferred to have Michael or Fletch in there to provide a little bit of defensive strength. Darron Gibson is pretty awful on the right wing, if he has to play, keep him in the center of midfield. And Tevez just does not convince me any more, maybe the whole contract issue is messing with his head. Also, I think the constant changing of the team is doing no one any favour. Never thought I'd say this, but Fergie, please stop rotating! At least in midfield. We've got no fluency because the players are not settled in any one position.Ah well, it's not done us that much harm. We're still in the competition, we just have to work that bit harder.
My parents would have a fit if they realised that I was up half the night yesterday. They can't understand how important it is to me. In fact, none of my friends can understand either. I told them today that United had lost, and all of them were like "Oh, is that even possible? Don't they win every game?" Yeah right, we're some invincible team that just has to turn up to win. *rolls eyes* I don't know why it made me so mad, I mean, they don't have a clue because they've probably never watched a game of football in their life. But they seemed to be insinuating that the only reason I follow United is because they win everytime. I felt like screaming out at them that when I started watching United, they hadn't won anything of note for years. ( Maybe I've proven to be lucky for them! :) ) I read a question on one of the forums, asking whether you'd prefer to watch a big game like Real Madrid vs Barcelona or United vs Derby, and my answer is United vs. Derby everytime. Even if we are as gash as we were last night. Even if it's a friendly. Hell, even if it's a choice between watching United play a school team and the World Cup Final, I'd still go for the United game.
Sorry for dumping this on here, I'm feeling very irritated today. And unfortunately, I have no one else to yell at. Hope all of you had a better day.
