Broken Britain: this yobbo has no respect for the law
Amid much division and rancour within the Gooners community (see previous 2 posts), at least we can all be ‘united’ in joy at seeing Man Utd’s much vaunted 5 trophy tilt come to a sticky end.
Very well done, Everton. You’ve done us all a great favour.
There can’t be too many sights more soothing to the smarting Arsenal faithful this afternoon than the sight of Alex Ferguson, incandescent with rage, quite literally turning purple (I had to check that the colour setting on my TV hadn’t gone haywire) bawling childishly at the fourth official after his side were denied what I must say looked like a pretty reasonable shout for a penalty, by United’s standards.
Alex, this post is purple in your honour.
On a friendlier note, it’s great to see a well-run club like Everton getting a bit of glory. Isn’t it?
I’m not very good at being friendly, so I’ll return to being gloaty, bitter and mocking. It was awful to see Arsenal losing yesterday, but seeing United crash out was the best pick-me-up I could have hoped for. A pathetic penalty from Berbatov (whose reputation is now in precipitous decline) was nice to see, almost as good as seeing the look on Rio’s face when he missed his. All that was missing was a blubbing Ronaldo and it would have been perfect.
Who knows? If Alex is half as angry next time he leaves the Emirates, we’ll all be laughing.
