27.4.14 Big Deal, Manchester United


Apparently it was all down to "pace and tempo".  I refer to the success by Manchester United.  I will completely avoid a debate on there being any fucking difference between 'pace' and 'tempo', especially when used by anyone in the footballing world, and instead challenge the "success" aspect of the game yesterday.

Manchester United played at home, against a team likely to get relegated, Norwich, whose away record is the worst in the Premier League.  Manchester United, with 40,000+ fans spurring the team on, after some exuberance and jubilation over the temporary appointment of Ryan Giggs, managed to win the game.  Big fucking deal!  The players seemed to decide that they would try to win the game yesterday (a rare attitude from most) and for that level of input by players whose weekly wages generally exceed most people's annual wages, we are encouraged to jump on surfboards and ride the wave of calls for Giggs to be appointed permanent manager?  Do me a favour.
