i want milk!
here we go again, life with the new season has started! and the results so far ...
ran out of luck with penalty shootout against chelsea in the community shield ... managed only a 1-0 win against birmingham city ... slipped to burnley 0-1, steamrolled past wigan athletic 5-0, got lucky with a 2-1 home win against arsenal ... not that convincing, eh?!
well, it is always the case with united in the first couple of months of each new season. we are always a slow starter. come january (apart from 1 or 2 slip up here and there) till end may, a title or 2 will usually be ours to keep in the ever bulging trophy cabinets.
this season, it might end up differently. after 3 straight premiership titles, 2 successive champions league finals, losing 2 main stars and with no really major new signings ... could there be a possibility that we are in a danger of ending the season empty handed?
with ferguson's main intention this season is to blood the younger players into the first team, the possibility is definitely there. he is also tinkering with the team formation (still can't believe the formation he applied against arsenal!) at the moment. he's experimenting to build the 4th great united team in his lifetime.
so, for me if we end up titleless this season that's ok. i can understand it. a season without a title is still ok, what. life goes on. in fact, i will be really really surprised if we still become a champion for the 19th time at the end of this season (personally think liverpool will still walk alone and empty handed this season).
the onus is on the other teams. now is the best time for them to 'pinjam' the premier league trophy from united. they'll have no chance once fergie gets his (new) team going again!!!
