For a team who prides themselves on being a defensive stronghold, United failed to secure the fort and allowed two goals in three minutes...DURING EXTRA TIME!!!
We were up by a comfortable 3-1 margin at Everton, then inexplicably the Toffees scored two within a minute of each other and handed United their second draw.
Three great goals by Darren Fletcher, Nemanja Vidic, and Dimitar Berbatov were not enough to assuage the anger of manager Sir Alex Ferguson. In his words: "We threw it away!"
Now four points behind Chelscum (who have a perfect record but haven't played anyone an eight-year-old team couldn't beat), and two points behind Arsenal, the Reds need to buckle down.
IN OTHER NEWS
Former Manchester United second-man Carlos Queiroz lost his Portuguese National Team job this week. The controversy surrounding his fight with the doping agency led the FPF to terminate his contract. In a strange coincidence, Cristiano Ronaldo (who was unable to play the two Euro qualifiers this week due to injury) miraculously recovered to START for Real Madrid in their 1-0 win over lowly Osasuna. I'm sure the Portuguese fans are wondering how "injured" Ronny really was. But I'm sure they understand that he plays for the most underhanded, vile, ridiculous club in the world...so there you have it.
