Have you ever been lost in a strange part of town. It's sort of industrial, sort of warehouse-y and pretty run down; it's fascinating, engrossing, dozens of small factories and text tile mills, suddenly you feel like you're in the know, privy to the goings on most people never get to see, one step closer to the man behind the man and your feelings are vindicated when you turn a corner and come upon a massive parking lot full of buses. Hundreds of buses, some coming, some going, some getting maintenance, some have been there a long time, some will never leave. This is what Old Trafford is gonna look like for 90 minutes after lunch on Saturday.
We're missing Bellerin and Alexis will be knackered after the internationals. They're missing a bunch of players, most of their defense plus Fellaini and Ibra. We forget how good Luke Shaw can be but I imagine he's rusty and Theo might fancy his chances. Alexis, if fit, should fancy himself against Rojo and Jones, and at right back they'll have Darmian, who lets be frank, is shit. For some odd reason United fans think that we're "there for the taking", a sentiment we'll hope is shared by the team. We really should win this game on paper, but it is United and it has been a strange season so far so I won't speculate any further.
Now that the boring, currupt internationals are done we can get back to the exciting, not as currupt league. We need to get back to winning and keep pace with the top of the table so we don't fall away early. I still feel that the league is there to be won this season and we need to stack points before other teams get used to their new managers and systems and become very strong. I can see Liverpool dropping points to Southampton but the other big teams have very winnable fixtures.
As for us tomorrow, all I'll say is that humanity needs Wenger the Jedi to beat Mourinho, the Trump of football, to bring some balance to the world.
Come on you people, Come on you world, Come on you Gunners
