This is from a Manchester United fan but certainly not from a
Liverpool or a Chelsea hater. I love football and its ManU I love
watching the most.
The start of the season in 2012 was incredible. The signing of RVP kick started a season full of expectations and also a season full of goals. Goals is what football is all about, in fact, Goals is what Life is all about. Riding on RVPs red hot scoring form, MU stormed their way in various competitions and by the end of Jan 2013 looked set for a double if not treble.
But the night of March 5, 2013 @ OLD TRAFFORD saw the BPL leaders crash out in a bizzare fashion. NANI was red carded in a flash when the Red Devils were on the top and a top team like Real Madrid pounced on the opportunity and sent MANU packing. To be honest, I was left dumbstruck after the red card and just can't imagine what the players might have gone through.
That Red Card absolutely shattered the confidence of the team and since then MU haven't played with same intensity or drive. They couldn't close out a game against Chelsea after they were 2-0 up and also their PL outings have been quite banal.
Today they have been knocked out of the FA cup after another lacklusture performance and now they will have only a single trophy to show at the end of the season. What a sombre end to a season that started so delightfully. What an impactful send off was that.......
Still, kudos to Sir Alex and his team.
