I'm back

Yes, right, it's been a long time since my last contribution to this blog but there has hardy been anything to blabber on about recently, so I decided to leave it on and wait until I find some inspiration.

Partly inspirated by my collaegue, who reminded me that there is such thing as writing, I decided to sum up our so-far results...

Yeah, I know, we've been amazing and all, it's quite hard to find words to describe our recent run but there are still voices in our heads saying 'stop dreaming you nutter, you won't win it', 'there are better teams than you, enlighten yourself!'. Pretty normal thing for a football fan, after having been written of prior to a season we found ourselves in such a good position that moaners squad has barely got anything to complain about.. or perhaps they do have something with lack of signings in the winter window! Bloody despair, isn't it?

But let's talk, or more likely about prime subject, not some second tier problems.

Starting with van der Sar, who has been in an amazing form since August and I can hardly say anything negative about him. He won us two to four points this season with his confidence, and even more with his leader role by sorting out the defence using his esteem among players.

Defence, defence... That Evra lad, that shite little Evra lad who was apparently not good enough to wear United's shirt and should've been sold to Lyon has turned out to be an excellent left-back, possibly the best in country and beats Heinze to first-team role. Bloody amazing, again! 8 out of 10 isn't even as generous as it should be.

Centre-halves.. monsters, I tell you, monsters of players. Vidic, I don't think he will let anyone score. Ever. Ferdinand, that cunt who wanted 120k a week was quite right, he's worth a lot. I see him as a leader of our defence, and main reason why we have let less goals than the rest.

Gary Neville, oh wait, is this really our Gary Neville? Because watching him going past Portsmouth's defenders the other day I thought it was some new Brazilian teenager willing to show off in front of fans. But that was our very own Gary Neville, who never ceases to amaze me. Hell of a player, hell of a lad, great man, I tell you.

Midfield.. Yes, I know. We don't have midfield, and we won't have one unless we sign some Mascherano guy. But I believe we have a very good imitation of midfield in Carrick and Scholes, actually better than most of 'true midfields that are going to outmuscle and cut us off the game'. Carrick has been seriously underrated by some clueless fans who expect him to score everytime he touches the ball only because he cost 14 (not fucking 18.6) million. I expect him to control midfield, gain possesion for us and prevent us from losing the ball, distribute it etc. Scholes has found his best form again, as it seems and has been key in our campaign. His contribution has been immense, so is he as a player, good lad.

Our wings are yet again the best in the country with Ronaldo proving everyone that he IS end product, scoring like a nutter, assisting like a nutter, winning games for us. And Giggs, that lad is like wine, the older he is, the better he is. No further appraisal, they've had enough of it over the years!

Our strikeforce isn't shambles, as Ruud's departure would've suggested. Saha is probably a better and more threatening option that Ruud, despite being quite an average finisher he creates a lot for his teammates and that wins us game. Rooney lad has to find his form, but I forgive him.

Our back-ups.. I'll speak about them later, c'ya.
