They should change that chant about Man. United, that talks about glory, to make it revere the sheer dumb luck that Alex Ferguson 's team has, so often in its history.
Giggs' goal in the last minutes of the Norwich game, which can only be qualified as lucky, is now worth two enormous points in the title race. They could count for a lot in the end, and I wish United would finally stop getting so damn lucky all the time, already.
This is why so many people are disgusted by Manchester United, and, in case somebody doesn't get it yet, let me put it very simply:
Manchester United manages to attain way more trophies than they thoroughly deserve. The number of lucky breaks and goals that go their way is so large, it's astounding.
I could enumerate some of them, and I would always leave too many out. But, to shut up anybody who might contest this, I'd like to evoke that Champions League final in 1999, against Bayern Munich, when they finally slapped the ball around a little in extra time and got the two goals needed to defeat a dumbstruck German team.
All credit to Norwich, for fighting to get a point, though.
But, of course, Man. U.'s stupid luck could not let them fall four points behind City. Not now, when they're going to play Tottenham next. (But, hey, Tottenham loses to Man. U. more frequently than to any other team, do they not?)
