Coming from 3-0 down to win the CL is a FLUKE? Then MAN U come back is also a FLUKE? So what consitutes a great comeback and what constitutes a FLUKE? As long its MAN U, it is a great comeback? If it is LIVERPOOL, then it is a FLUKE?
Let me give you ENGLISH LESSON. WHAT IS FLUKE?
fluke
n.
1. A stroke of good luck.
2. A chance occurrence; an accident.
So tell me.....
When Liverpool scored all 3 goals in the CL FINAL, were there very obvious signs of very good luck? Did the ball suddenly fly and bounced off GERRAD's head into the goal? No. Gerrad headed the ball into the net with intent.
For the 2nd goal, did like a dog run across Dida's path and blocked his view and was unable to get down fast enuff to save Smicer's shot? Nope. Smicer took a shot and Dida was blocked by his own defenders. He was abit fat also, so could not get down fast enuff. FLUKE? hardly.
For the 3rd goal, did the liverpool player slipped on the banana skin, fell down himself in the penalty box but referee was blind and gave a penalty? Nope. He was fouled in the box and so a penalty was given. It was not a FLUKE.
So before you said the CL FINAL WIN is a fluke. Please understand the word first. I must count MAN U win over BAYERN as one of the greatest simply becos of the climax it gives to the fans....imagine BAYERN thinking they had it in their bags but losing it in the last minute. Was it a fluke? Nope. MAN U worked hard for their 2 goals. So, before you say LIVERPOOL win is a FLUKE, think twice again.
cool it bro! we all share the same love so i also know how u feel..
just put it this way, we 'fluked' 3 times in that game? haha..
not the 1st time Man U fans said things like that.. (not all but so do behave like that)..
Its true that we have yet to win the EPL champion before and we accept that.. but we see progress and are excited about it..
It is also true that Gerrard is very impt to the club.. we did over dependent on him, but then thats what we call star players! and Gerrard is truely a top star!
Put it this way, ppl tend to find excuses when things go wrong but I cant recall any that are more ridiculous than those form Old Trafford..
Did anyone recall a certain match that Man U lost to Southampton 6-3?
I rem the reason given was that the players cant see each other in their grey colored jersey?!
Or what did that italian GK say when a goal lobang thru his legs?
His studs are too long? (anyone can explain how is that related to goal keeping??)
Or did any players said they forgot urine test?
SO before making comments, please take a look at your team!
