I'm not a Manure lover, as you can probably see from my the team i support. But apart from the players not seeming to give their all, most of the blame has to go to Alex Ferguson. This might be stretching it but the blame goes right back to the purchase of Veron. He's an absolutely brilliant player but why did Manure ever buy him? They had undoubtedly the best midfield in Europe with Beckham, Keane, Scholes and Giggs. Why mess that up? Ferguson should've spent the money on another defender to partner Stam. But then he went and fell out with Stam and sold him. Ok, so Brown's good but he's not the finished articly like Stam was, and Brown is injury prone. Ferguson should've just spent big in defence because that is their weak point. I seriously think that with another two world class defenders Manure would've won the PL and CL. It has been their defence that has let them down all season, such as last week when they conceded two goals at home. The result last night wasn't that bad concidering. But manure lost it at home.
Someone has to carry the can.

On the back of the original subject of this post Wednesday nights defeat makes it even worse.
Man Utd having bought RVN for approx £17m and smashing the British transfer record with SEBA for £28m were facing a season with no trophies but at least they had the chance to back up claims that they were the best by slowing down and maybe derailing Arsenals title challenge by stuffing them at The Theatre. From reading the Man Utd forums it was clear almost all of their fans whilst fearing the title had gone were confident they could at least go out with their heads high especially after learning the gunners would be without Adams, Bergkamp and most significantly Henry.
What followed must have got Sir Alex wishing he had opted for retirement. A 1-0 defeat, SEBA hooked, rampant indiscipline, and the damning statistic of one shot on target in the second half and that was in the very latter stages. Ferguson must have been volcanic with rage but in the immediate aftermath was composed and admitted that this season Wengers troops were worthy champions.
If I appear harsh it's only because United have been the benchmark in EPL by a mile and you just cant believe that this group of players would show so little in a Malaysian friendly never mind a game with so much significance.
I expect The Red Devils to roar back next season but will be interest to see their personnel by that stage.
p.s. Anyone want to pool together some cash to buy Forlan a goal?
