i'm just shattered. we're out. out of the champions' league. out of all european competition. a totally insipid performance. ferguson's excuse of the team being inexperienced cannot be accepted. the current team has so many internationals from various countries, and we still can't come out of as weak a group as this alive?! the passing last night was lousy. shooting abysmal. benfica showed us how to play football. simple, flowing football. thats what they played. and thats the kind of football Manchester United is renowned for! where's the passion? where's the determination? the current team just do not have the stomach, the hunger. we must tear this team apart, and rebuild. but if only it were that simple. since glazer and his three stooges (read: his sons!) took over, all they have given the fans have been empty promises. where's the money he promised ferguson in the summer? there was none! glazer only took over the club for the money. and he's not gonna get it. chelsea and the rest of England and Europe are improving with each and every passing year. but with his iron-fisted control of the money-bags (anyway there's no money, he plunged the club into debt!), the club has not the finacial clout to challenge the other teams on the transfer market. this increasing lack of competitiness on the field, coupled with rising ticket prices will keep the fans away from Old Trafford. so glazer will never ever recoup his money. he has made the biggest mistake of his life; biting off more than he can chew! now we are ever closer to the horrible reality of being a glamourous club that simply are not good enough to win titles, just like the dark years of the 70s and 80s...
