DEVASTATED....

i cant rem the last time when i was sad..prob a few months ago...? shows how happy i have been e past few months..

but i m really sad tonight.

Its not becoz of exams...

At the time of my writing, chelsea just lifted e league title.

It wasnt just becoz we lost 3-nil.

Its the way we played..

And we lost rooney..

The injury looks bad..and seeing him in pain and anguish sums it all up for united fans..he was the last person anyone wants to be injured..

How could we have played so badly todae? It just doesnt make sense.

Silvestre was extremely disappointing..ever since the 1st time i watch him play for united, his career had been littered with personal silly errors..

Rio ferdinand..where was his urgency and determination?? Despite being a united fan, i do admit that my first choice for england's centre backs wud be terry and carragher, not ferdy..where was the marshalling of the defence? Steve bruce had it, gary pallister had it, jaap stam had it..where was rio's commitment and marshalling of the defence when we needed it the most????

Gary Neville..with all due respect to this incredible united servant who have chalked up over 500 appearances for us..i still cannot see the inspiration, charisma, and harsh words (to fire up e rest) needed for a united captain from him..bryan robson had it, cantona had it, keano had it...again when e chips were down, it wasnt gary who gave the team the lift. It was rooney, no doubt about it. Always had been rooney this season..and when he was stretchered off, it was clear that united were broken..rooney wud make a fantastic united captain in future no doubt about it.

Ronaldo..once again, he failed to deliver at the big match..his performance todae reminded me of the heart-breaking match against benefica few months ago in the champions league..how could he have wasted so many free-kicks..sigh..and i still think he needs to be less selfish sometimes..

O Shea..tried to do what he could, but in reality, keano's departure left a huge gap in the defensive midfielder role which still has not been plugged...we need a top class midfielder soon..

It hurts really..

Hurts to see united get beaten..

Hurts to see chelsea lift the trophy in front of us..

Hurts to see the way we played..

sigh..

but i m optimistic still..

becoz the last time any team won the premier league title in front of united..arsenal won it in 1998 at old trafford with a bitter 1-nil victory..united bounced back to win the treble the subsequent yr in 1999..

i m optimistic that after this forgettable dae in the history of united, the players will become stronger and bounce back next season with a vengeance. If they dun, then they dun deserve to be champions..

And despite what chelsea fans may claim, i still insist on my stand that they BOUGHT their way to the title. Liverpool didnt have to spend 200 million pounds to earn success in the 1970s and 1980s, united didnt have to spend 200 million to dominate the 1990s, arsenal didnt have to spend 200 million to win, neither did blackburn in 1995. Give ANY of the premier league manager (including MIck McCarthy) UNLIMITED MONEY, and see whether he can win it.

Its a sad sad night...
