Firstly, I genuinely don’t care if this comes across as RAWKISH, or melodramatic, or anything like that, because it’s the truth, and I’m angry.
This is something that I didn’t want to write, but more importantly this is something I didn’t think I would have to write. I was sure we’d win this game, this team has what all the other great teams of the past have had, desire. We deserved better than this, we deserved better than a poor pass from Evans, we deserved better than 3-0.
When we’ve won the Carling Cup before, we’ve had to overcome adversary, we’ve had to split oceans apart to manage to get what we as a football club deserve. Success, trophies, respect. Sure we’ve had to overcome some dodgy decisions, but I can’t think of a single decision that has not only managed to place us at a massive disadvantage numerically, tactically, and in a purely 1-0 point of view. This destroyed the night, it was genuinely an awful, awful decision that has knocked us out of the Carling Cup, simple as that Johnny.
However, what makes this club great is the fact that nothing keeps us down, not the Munich Air Disaster, not our best players leaving, not financial instability, and certainly not a decision that a shit referee has made against us to hand a tie to an undeserving team. We will come back. We will win more European Cups, and what makes it better than the bitter tears of our rivals, is the fact that we know that we fully deserve all the success that we have had, do have, and will continue to have in the future.
This, like all other bits of tragedy, misfortune, and injustices will do nothing but make us stronger, and when we lift the Premier League next, we’ll look back and smile at tonight, because we know that it’s driven us on to bigger things. It’s a typical Manchester United cliché, but it’s 100% true. We’ll never die.
We are Manchester United. And we do believe.
