Never before in the field of human history have so many, been so gobsmacked, by one mis-kick. Well maybe Platini’s penalty miss in 86, or the famous Mark Payne free kick debacle from the Appleton 93/94 season.
Positives.
- We didn’t lose.
- We survived without Vidic, that hasn’t happened in a big game for a while.
- They had to foul Ronaldo constantly to stop him (6 in the first 14 minutes).
- Scholes looks to be picking up.
- Running out of positives.
- Completely dried up.
In which case we have to start thinking about the next six days. Having an entire season hinge on three games in such quick succession is ludicrous. Aren’t there usually two weeks between semi-final legs? Look at what it has done to Arsenal, a team who deserved something out of the season (though not more than us of course).
I expect to lose all of my hair in the next week, I honestly think we are wobbling.
How did he, how could he miss?
As much as it pains me to say it, I think you’ll get the result you’re looking for in the second leg.
