The loss to Bayern, in hind sight, wasn’t a bad one. We lost to Roma 3 years ago by the same score line. We did thrash them a week later. Anyone remember the 7-1 mauling? But the real whop in the nut sack was Wayne Rooney limping away. Him getting injured at the worst possible time is agonizing to say the least. With season defining games coming up (Chelski this weekend and Bayern next week) the absence of Rooney can be impossible to cope with.
I have been a life long fan. I swear, nothing means more to me than my football club. I have nothing in my life worth talking about. I am not awesome. I am not good looking. Not charming. Haven’t dated anyone since my break-ups. But you know what, none of that matters to me as long MUFC was creating history. I fear we are now on the verge of becoming history. Not making it.
But that’s just the pessimist in me speaking. Deep down, I believe and I always will; We are the best and with or without Rooney, our talisman this season, we will bring Glory home and to the millions of loyal supporters around the world. If I have to, I will give up anything for my team. I am not even joking. My football club is the only thing that ever brings me happiness. Nothing or no one else does. So why wouldn’t I give it my all.
Wayne’s out for 2 to 4 weeks. I was freaking out about this last night and until about half and hour ago I still was. Then I had a revelation, United isn’t a one man team. We still have D.Berbatov, and then we have our younger players, remember when Macheda burst onto the scene basically winning two matches for United fans? Yeah, he’s matured, we’ll be able to play him and more players will stand and be counted.
If people think we’ll lose the title or the Champion’s League because of this, they’re sorely mistaken. Do you think players like Scholes, Gary and Giggs don’t know what to do in times like this? Manchester United is full to the brim of experience. Sir Alex Ferguson is their coach, they’ll be fine. And Wayne will almost certainly be back earlier than predicted because he’s Wayne, it kills him to be on the sidelines.
Don’t worry, United fans, we just have to believe. I pray and I believe. Glory Glory Man Utd. :)
The most important question right now:
Can Manchester United win without Rooney?
Does his injury (which will put him out of action for two to six weeks) take United out of the Champions League title race or will they rally to overcome the 2-1 deficit and win at home? Equally important, will Wayne’s injury keep them from making history in England by winning the Premiership four years straight?
With Rooney out, who will step up for United? Plus, Man U will face Chelsea this coming Saturday, I'm not confident that they’ll win that match because Man U needs Rooney! :/
