I am a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, of course I am. He can be assessed as one of
the best players in the world ... sometimes ... when he decides to 'show up'.
We've just had one of the saddest weeks for many younger United fans.
Natuarally we were not alive when the crash happened, neither did we see the
10 years that followed as Busby dragged United from the ashes of Munich to
become Champions of Europe !!
It takes a special kind of person to step up to the mark and be THE ONE who
makes the difference. Geoge Best did it for Busby in 1968 - as he did on many
ocassions on the big stage.
Sure todays game is just a home game in the 38 we play this year in the Premier
League. But not for me. Todays game has only one viable outcome for me -
NOTHING BUT VICTORY WILL DO !!
A draw or a loss will almost feel disrespectful in my eyes - I will feel we have let
Sir Matt and The Babes down if we fail.
So for me today is a MASSIVE game.
Rooney is suspended - he tried to cheat against Spurs with that ridiculous dive -
got booked and earned a suspension. He can change games single handed but
he wont be doing so today.
So this is why I mentioned CR7 at the start of this.
So many times he has let us down on the big ocassion. This for me is his biggest
and maybe his only fault !!
Well today Mr Ronaldo is your big chance. Today more than ever we need you to
step up, stand tall and show us what you really do have. Yes we have a great
team of course and they will play their part.
BUT WE DON'T WANT TO WIN 1-0 WITH A STEADY, SAFE PERFORMANCE.
I don't want to see CR7 being tackled fairly and sitting on his arse his hands in
the air moaning to the ref. Get up and get the ball back, fight for the game like
the Babes used to week in week out.
Become a winner Ronaldo on the big stage, when it matters, when the pressure
is on instead of a bit part player when we thrash Bolton, Wigan, Derby or
Newcastle !!
LET'S SEE CITY SWEPT ASIDE WITH FOOTBALL PLAYED THE MATT BUSBY WAY -
DEFEND AS ONE, ATTACK AS ONE !!!
Anything less is NOT acceptable ....
Then on to Moscow to bring Sir Matt's trophy home where it belongs ....
Let's see what you are made of Ronnie ...
That's what I think anyway ...
