Advantages: Anyone want to sign his leaving card
Disadvantages: He dropped that as well.
If you had said to Fabian Bhartez theres was going to be a stike today he probably would have ducked and then blocked this end of the channel tunnel (think about it). This has to be the worst signing at Old Trafford since Peter Davenport. The career move is a bigger disaster than Dan Quayle,(the man who asked a young lady at a function who she was,replied im your secret service agent),when he added the e of the end of potato. If there was one game that the Frenchman was seeking his redemption in, statistically the omens were not good in this crunch encounter. Chelsea have only lost three times in twenty eight before today’s noon kick-off stretching back twenty years. Come 1.49,Manchester United had extended that odious run to twenty-nine with a catastrophic three nil defeat. United are like a great heavyweight champion down on one knee as the blows rain in. Another thunderous punch by the Londoners splatters blood on the canvas like the unusual sight of a rash red seats long before the final whistle at Old Trafford.. The champion’s knees are wobbling, double vision, like the keeper going one way, and the ball the other. Soon to sprawl on the canvas after losing four of the last six painful rounds. Their torso is as bruised as the egos, it’s painful to see great fighters fall in slow motion. The cause of this collapse is the shock sacking of their other ten million investment in Stam and the performance of the clown prince between the sticks. He looks more like a musician than a footballer. Both at ten mill were grossly over priced and I suspect that Fergie who bartered the deals through his son trousered a portion of that. New management might not take to the little cocky Frenchman between the sticks. He may be swinging from a noose like his compatriots on the wrong side of the French revolution.the ways its going .The Stretford End wont tolerate much more of this buffoonery, and face saving
from the departing manager. Alex won’t back down over accommodating five world class players in the teams midfield by dropping Cole, so I cant see him sacking the worlds most expensive keeper from his signature. Clearly the current formation isn’t working and Alex really couldn’t give a quassiant. Like a fading boxer caught by a lucky punch, United never really recovered from that Rickets’ goal against Bolton and will have to knock out some bums coming up to recover their confidence. And the first way to do that is to remove this clown from the goal. He can’t control the box anywhere near Schmichaels booming dominance and is too small on crosses. The miss match of defenders have no confidence in him to shout for a disputed ball, or bellow instructions like the big Dane that would echo around the Theatre of Dreams.Bhartez is bringing nightmares to a decaying empire. Just as Bhartez was conceding in the first five minutes, Michael Owen and Lundberg were sliding in goals at 3.05.The title is conceded now without doubt. Fowlers move to Leeds with six of Liverpool’s points in his pocket will give Leeds a welcome boost further down the M6. Uniteds replacement keeper in Roy Carroll kicks like one of those guys in Bruce Lee films who’s first for the chop. But he’s far better than comedian currently turning the handle on the floodgates. If you listen carefully, you can hear fingers tapping on keyboards dumping the French Keeper from their fantasy teams. Who would have thought United would have lost eight games by December First. Chuck in the five or so they lost in the 2000-2001championship run-in and you can see just how inept the defense and Bhartez are. The little guy is averaging nearly two goals conceded since his arrival and his glamorous girlfriend’s departure. Surely the boss can’t tolerate much more of this carnage. It is fair to say that Europe
and a grandious Hamden Park finale has been Furgusons first priority this season with the league an after thought. The Champions League is the true measure of a great manager and a second win would move Alex into the great English club coaches hall of fame. The Euro TV money and the signing of Bhartez were geared towards that league in his last two years and that makes it a clear priority over the domestic fare. Not only is the French national keeper throwing away Uniteds chances, but its fair to say his world cup ones to. Lauren Blanc, who im sure replaced Stam because he was the first name on Bhartez speed dial wont be kissing the head of the bald one.
