29 - United 1 Spurs 1 / Adu, Vieira linked
Tonight's entry agreed with Danny Mills' sentiment that Robert Pires is an "arrogant twat".
So, after two excellent performances the early season depression set back in with another insomnia threatening draw.
I'll tell you what alarms me most about the slump in the last season and a bit, and that is Fergie's complete lack of urgency or concern about the last 14 months or so. There he is, prattling on in interviews about bad luck and injuries without even a hint that he gives a fuck about what he and Queirozzzzzz are doing with this team. Regardless of financial restrictions and what Boring Chelsea are doing, I still believe we have enough to mount a serious challenge on all trophy fronts. But it is now almost undeniable that the management pairing are stunting this opportunity with transfer market indecision, poor team line ups and completely unbelievable tactics.
Nothing. Not a hint of worry crosses Ferguson's face. Now, either he doesn't give a shit any more, which I refuse to believe, or he arrogantly believes that United can still win the title being guided to playing like they have been. If this is the case, what a monstrously arrogant fool he is. For the first time in 14 years I have lost faith in Ferguson and now staunchly believe he is no longer the man to lead Manchester United and that we need to make a change.
Guus Hiddink, Danny Blind or, indeed, Mr Roy Keane - HELP.
On the match front, the first half was reasonably good from us, but I really don't understand why we came out in the second half completely lacking the drive and penetration that we had in the first half. We handed the initiative to a Spurs side that really are being grossly overrated (that Stalteri is fucking shit, in particular) in all but the midfield areas and in Jermaine Defoe (come on Glazers, get your hands in your pockets, you useless streaks of piss), and they took it.
Barnet during the week. PLEASE put out the youngsters. Give me something to look forward to, at least.

A couple of particularly odd pieces of transfer news here. The Vieira thing will NEVER happen as much as we might need him, with Mr Roy Keane probably seeing to that. As for Adu....
Is this bloke any fucking good or what? Forgive me for being rather doubtful of his talents, but I'm not wholly impressed by the fact that he made his professional debut when he was 14. Why? Because it was in the MLS, that's why. This is the league where Alexei Lalas used to be a superstar for hell's sake. I'm sorry, but it doesn't blow my trousers up in delight at all. It could happen of course what with United's Nike and American connections, but do we actually need ANOTHER 'promising young talent' plucked out of an unfashionable league? We need players for NOW. Not some bloke who MIGHT turn out to be pretty good in the future, we've got plenty of those.
And if he was so good then Chelsea or Real Madrid would have signed him by now. That is the rule these days, after all.
I'm off to watch the Rome derby. How old is Di Canio now anyway?
Oh yeah, and my latest United Rant is up, like.
