The Devil In Me

Exaggeration is a dangerous thing. And in football so is comparison to things, matches and players of different eras. We only need to take a look at the whole Ronaldo/ Best non-debate (George) to see that.

The greatest match ever played was that between Brazil and France in the quarter finals of the 1986 world cup. It would be churlish to compare this game to that. It would be arrogant to even put it in the same category, but it was close. We just watched a game of football gentlemen.

Before we move on to analysis let me just say that Arsenal were brilliant. They are a truly great team and when they start winning the trophies they deserve no sane person has any right to begrudge them. Good news United are better than them really isn’t it.

They really made us shake, sans Vidic I may hear you say but shake we did, and they were good for a goal right up until the death. What won the match? Attrittion, looks like Ferguson might have learnt a thing or two about tactics over the years.

On this form Park should start every game.

Exhausted, I go to bed.
