27 - United 0 Lille 0 / The Injured Gary Neville Diaries / McShane
Tonight's entry imagines all the people think that John Lennon song is crap.
Back to 4-5-1 again = no goals. Fergie was clever tonight by claiming that Paul Scholes would occupy Wayne Rooney's spot directly, but there he was, tucked deep into midfield not entirely sure of what he was doing, leaving Alan Smith and Darren Fletcher not entirely sure of what they were doing either. Nice try, Fergie, but no cigar.
I really don't understand the selections either. Ryan Giggs has been largely absent in the last couple of games, with Park Ji-Sung replacing him and being quite marvellous too. So instead of allowing Park the chance to build on his superb displays and put some momentum into his United career, he's dumped back on the bench and not brought on until 10 minutes from time, during which he did more than enough to be United's man of the match. Completely ridiculous. Ferguson deserves as much criticism for this decision as he took for the formation changes, he really is completely and infuriatingly inconsistent with his selections nowadays.
He can't take all the blame though as we were awful tonight. Mikael Silvestre was far more reliable at the back although he had nothing to do, but Rio Ferdinand is nervy and lacking in confidence. Phil Bardsley and John O'Shea didn't support the 'wide men' nearly enough, whilst the central midfield formation gave none of the three players there a chance to do anything of note. Cristiano Ronaldo's distribution was abysmal and completely lacking in composure whilst Ruud van Nistelrooy was like teflon tonight.
A very poor performance indeed. Bollocks, in fact.

"N-Everton are bottom of the league - ha ha ha ha ha ha - I ring up Phil every day to tell him and send him text messages (U R BTTM - HA HA HA)"
Apologies tosincerely_me and izzles.

It seems that most of our best players this season are on loan in division one. I refuse to call it The Championship because it's stupid. It's fucking division one and it's lucky I only just stopped calling it division two as well. I digress. Paul McShane is turning heads at Brighton and suggesting a defensive future that looks very bright indeed for us.
By the way, I have patented any gags done about McShane's name with regard to Hi-De-Hi and You Rang, M'Lord? in the future, so don't even try it, alright?
I'm off to watch Hex. It's the British Buffy, apparently. If so, how come it's good and I haven't stuck my foot through the TV yet then?
