woweee its been one hell of a week..
after that massive high of the sunderland match came our 1st leg match against benfica in the 'prestigious' europa league.. i remember being on such a high cuz united had lost their champions league match two days before.. and i may have been gloating here n there so NEEDED to win this match..
anyyyhooow.. the match started off beautifully with an Agger backheel effort which paid off.. followed by a series of incidents that made me want to pull my hair out.. Torres.. yes our beautiful Torres was like a punching bag.. fouled from behind, front, sideaways.. with NO protection from the bloody ref.. no, he was too busy sending babel off for being 'too in a players face'... literally.
The benfica crowd were disgusting to say the least.. throwing firecrackers on the pitch, targetted at players, uncivilised disgusting crowd.. ofcourse the ref had tee stop his favourite team from losing so then awarded two penalties which in turn won benfica the match.. I won't even try to vent my frustration at this ref and why the decisions were poor to say the least because i'd need around 5 pages and i dont want to bore you..
so moving swiftly along..
on easter sunday.. [HAPPY BELATED EASTER PPPEEEOPLEE :D ] we travelled to st andrews to what was supposed to be our 'clinching 4th spot' performance.. things went smoothly at first with a classic Gerrard strike.. but Ridgewell scored for the home side not long after..
which brings me to Benitez.. 60 minutes into the match.. such an IMPORTANT match.. 4th spot make it or break it match.. he takes off Torres! and no, he wasn't injured.. playing weakly.. or ANYTHING..
Rafa says he was 'tired' .. pahleez.. how about we see what HE thought about it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUj6Mue3nis
i swear the reactions on that video say only one thing = Rafa has lost any respect his players have for him.. hes' lost the dressing room as they saaaaay..
He's just protecting Torres for benfica.. well guess what Benitez.. we dont CARE about europa! everyone knows that! 4th spot is way more important! ARGH Rafas deffo lost the plot.. has for a while now..
so yh.. thats our week pretty much.. dissapointment/frustration sums it up..
Benfica tommorow.. dundun..

"we dont CARE about europa!"
make up your mind!! :P
fourth is not over - city and sp*rs have tough games coming up, and villa are not as good as ppl think. Best of luck. I think 5th + Europa cup win would be ok - not amazing, not where Liverpool should be, but ok.
lol, if it was a choice between the possibility of playing in the champions next year or winning the europa this year.. i'd go with playing in champions league next year.. aka 4th spot..
ReplyDeletehowever if we cn have 4th n' europa.. :D yay..
