Reek of the Week
 
 

12. Manchester United Football Club

                                            Well I guess we showed them. They come here thinking, "oh yeah, lets go
                                            12 points clear on top of the Premiership." Not fucking likely. Not only did
                                            we beat them, we completely, utterly, and very enjoyably humiliated them.
                                            I'm sure anyone at the Park would have settled for 1-0, 2-1 or 10-9, but
                                            to come away with a 3 goal victory was all the more to celebrate. But the
                                            whole attitude of the club, "The Treble winners", the "if we don't win we're
                                            going to whinge and moan up any excuse known to us", is why they are
                                            so unpopular. I seem to recall a certain incident in the corrosponding fixture
                                            at Old Trafford earlier in the season, involving one Nic Dabizas. He was sent
                                            off for an even worse decision, and did you see Steve Clark after the game
                                            having a sulk that the referees were "picking on us". Ha.
                                            It's a bit pathetic really, you lose a game, to a better team, and then the only
                                            excuse you can make up is that the "ref's were picking on us". So what will
                                            it be next week? "Oh, er, our keeper wasn't ready, take the penalty again."
                                            Or, "No, no, we demand a replay, it was far too cold to play." Or you could
                                            look to the past for some..."The pitch is to blame for Paul Scholes' hernia"
                                            or the old "we couldn't see each other for the crowd" after they wore grey at
                                            The Dell. Really, I could go for ever, but I think you get the point.
