Here we go, another home game against big opposition to start a tough month of December against what once were, the toughest opponents in the league. We never expected much in terms of a result throughout the nineties and early 2000's mainly because we were gash and United had top quality players. I remember watching the likes of Giggs, Cantona, Hughes causing defenders all sorts of problems and years later the Rooney and Ronaldo connection. Things are different now, United have fallen into a period of management that resembles Wilf McGuiness' tenure. How many men must they go through before finding their chosen one again?
Let's look at the City of Manchester, the infamous moss side and cheetham hill which people there still bang on about today to out of towners to make them think Manchester is a place to be reckoned with even though they only read about it in the paper just like we did. Who's the gangster who released his very own documentary called 'A Very British Gangster' no mate, putting yourself on the TV is about as gangster as that Callum lad on Coronation street, doing doughnuts in his P reg subaru impreza outside Audrey's salon tryin to put the shits up Emily and Rita.
Manchester, the place of gloom and darkness and that's in the afternoon, never known a place to look so dull with all it's tired buildings and outdated fashion. I think with Ellesse coming back into fashion has given a lot of people here hope than the city can compete with its rivals down the 62. We think not. Every other word out their mouth is innit and pal with occasionally cutting out the words the and to from sentences, what's the words owt and nowt all about but after all United isn't a part of Manchester is it?? Salford, they say which is about fives minutes away on the metrolink and is a gateway for all the scruffs to get around as they don't have inspectors checking tickets. Right next to Salford we have Ordsall which the mancs say is another rough part of Manchester notorious for its crime of yesteryear.
Manchester does have its good points and its mainly nothing to do with Manchester. It's the fit student birds casually around the city centre being students, basically, but fit at the same time. The lads aren't up to much with their 2016 southern hairstyles, snapback, ripped jeans and half decent biceps with no chest and pins for legs wearing a tight fitted t-shirt with a slogan like "hyped for the weekend" when all they will be doing is getting the KB from every bar before heading back to their mates flat with a little trip to tesco for some JD and pepsi max and play games like ring of fire whilst listening to radio 1 saying how "sick" that tune is.
What's next, shall we talk about Everton? I have to say, before anything that the best mannequin challenge I've seen was Everton's attempt against Southampton, will take some beating. Last few weeks have been abysmal, before that it was bad just turning up for the second half (for fans as well) Must give Southampton deserved credit, last week they were sublime and VVD controlled everything from back to front, what a player. We desperately need a good performance this week coupled with a fitting result. Mourinho is slowly destroying Utd with the absence of Rashford in favour more for the size 13 boot wearing giant gnome from Sweden.
We need to stop those balls from getting into the box either by closing it down in the midfield or getting out wide to their wingers. Calamity Jags will be out of sorts against Zlatan and will be making him wish he phoned in sick Sunday.
Need the 3 points blues. Let's kick on from here.
