What a bitter pill to swallow, with no more treble, the “35 Years” banner in jeopardy, and worse yet, a City side could use this result to push into Champions League position. Grrrr…..
You simply knew City would clog things up and grind it out. One goal would be huge.
Thus, it’s especially difficult to loose on such a horrible mistake by a combo of VDS-and-Carrick, as their form has been stellar recently. And please, I won’t even bother to discuss THAT red card because that’s the risk run by Scholes being Scholesy.
All in all it’s a very lethargic performance by United in the second half, prior to the sending off, with Wazza’s edge sorely missing. Can you say lesson learned, Wayne?
Once the sting wears off, however, United do have other priorities at the moment.
Sure, the ego’s bruised by the noisy neighbors, as the deepening shades of red to purple on Sir Alex’s face will attest, but this loss provides one less game, an emotional Cup Final at that, for this team this term. Based on today, United’s midfield could use some rest, especially if the Red Devils progress to THE Final against Barcelona.
So, Chicharito, Giggs and Wazza get some rest and we take our medicine, swallow it whole, count our blessings and move on.
You never-ever want to face a Sir Alex Ferguson side after a tough loss, as the Governor’s bounce-back-ability is second to none in world football.
We look forward to Tuesday’s trip to barcode-land with a fully rested White Pele looking to avenge his ban.

Back at you late after the Newcastle match. Cheers.
