Rant warning:
I try and stay positive with all things Man United. I'm normally in the "if the don't have anything nice to say, don't bother" camp, but...
Its deadline day, and there's a good chance we could bring in a couple of players. Well woop de feckin woop. I couldn't care less if we brought in Messi & Ronaldo. Too little too feckin late Woodward! Last season finished on a major high and gave us all hope that we'd be back, if not winning, then certainly challenging for the title again. The stage was set, and Van De Beek was a great start. The fixtures came out and boom 4 very winnable games to lay down a marker. Sancho rumours started and all's looking good... then months go by, and nothing happens (apart from ALL our rivals quietly strengthen without any fuss, drama or pianos!). The season then starts and its a disaster. Palace were yards ahead of us in thought and deed. The perfect time to act fast and gets some deals done. Nothing. We scrape 3 points v Brighton in the 100th minute, using all a whole seasons worth of luck in doing so. Act now, signings please!! Nothing. The second string does well to keep us in the cup, then Spurs roll into town...so here we are on deadline day with any possible league challenge in tatters, and confidence shot to pieces. This is Manchester United. How on gods green earth has this been allowed to happen?!?!?
