The Devil In Me

There has been an a tendency amongst United fans to be optimistic over recent weeks. We should all know better. A wobble has been coming and a wobble has arrived. It would conflict with everything that is good and true in the universe if Chelsea were to snatch the title from here, but we must look at our cups of tea and know that it is a possibility now.

Horse-racing fanatic Alex Ferguson has gambled again, and considering the fixture list over the last week I do not blame him. Nonetheless it has backfired.

The trophies are still there to be won, the thing is we are going to have to win them, Chelsea will not hand them over. Perhaps this is the way it should be.

The bravery of Vidic and the heroism of Rooney are for discussion another day, as is the dubiousness of the penalty.

It is showtime now, and we have to stand up.
