As a ManU fan actually born in Manchester, I was naturally disappointed about last night. Man U appeared listless and yes Barca did play well. I don't think Fletcher's inclusion would have made much difference - the inclusion of Nobby Stiles at his best might have. To suggest that ManU doesn't have skilful players is laughable.
One team does not make a national premier league. I don't like the way that Murdoch manipulates the UK Premier League but I'm hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't think it's the best national football league in Europe. After all 3 of the 4 semi-finalists in the European Cup (that was) were English Premiership teams. |
