After years of being a staunch Man Utd fan, I have come to the following conclusions. (The United defeat theory)

Man Utd will have an exceptionally high chance of defeat if one or more of the following criteria are met :

1) Man Utd players wear black pants as part of their kit (Either red, white or blue top, it does not matter)

2) Man Utd play under a scorching hot weather, with the relentless Sun beating upon them.

3) Man Utd players and staff talk too much before a match (i.e. Blabbering incessantly on the significance of the upcoming game, and their confidence in handling the opponents blah blah)

All these is true. Maybe a new criterion will be that of Man Utd wearing an all-white kit, just like in the Champions League final.

The Champions League Final. An absolute travesty for Man Utd. Simply outplayed by Barca. Long time since I witnessed such a drubbing of Man Utd by an opposition. Every United player looked lethargic, weak and ready for holidays. It's not about what went wrong, it's simply a case of nothing going right.
Before the Final, players like Rio Ferdinand, Evra and Ronaldo blathered way too much about the upcoming game, and thus satisfying criterion number 3 of high possibility of defeat.

Park Ji Sung simply cannot handle the immense intensity of this crucial match, and it was a wrong move to put him in the starting line up. Giggs was non-existent, Anderson was shadow chasing, Rooney can't string a proper pass, O' Shea was clumsy, Carrick was timid, and Rio and Vidic were in shambles. It all fell apart.

Now I know what it feels like to support a mediocre team (eg. West Brom), perpetually watching your team torn apart by stronger opponents.

Tomorrow most probably going to drive in a rented car. Feeling apprehensive, since it has been sometime since I touched one.

The damn weather is killing me. The reason I managed to fall asleep this afternoon during my nap, was that the heat knocked me out. When I woke up, I felt exhausted. Dammit.

Ok cheers. Time to go.
