The Performance Of Champions! Manchester United! The Comeback Kings! Yes I've repeated the title, my blog I can do what I like haha but to the point of this post its to discuss our season to date and because I haven't posted since 14th February.
As we all know Manchester United are the comeback kings, there have been so many performances of the comeback kind in the last 20 odd years that I can't even begin to list them... 1-0 down to Bayern Munich Champions League Final in Barcelona with Sheringham and Solskjaer to score two injury time goals and make us the only team in English football to achieve the unprecedented treble, yeah that's just one and obviously one of the main ones so had to mention it. A few more to mention there was the game down at White Heart Lane where we were 3-0 down at halftime to Tottenham and then ended up winning 5-3 thanks to goals from Cole, Blanc, Van Nistelrooy, Veron and Beckham... I'm hoping I'm right ok I probably am haha and then there's examples of the comeback determination this season like the game against Blackpool where we were 2-0 and turned the game on its head to win 3-2 which brings me to today....
Before this season I haven't seen United play much but thanks to student finance I've made sure I've gone. I'm no armchair supporter I mean having a Manchester United tattoo on my forearm should help to prove I'm a diehard supporter lol but yes today well yesterday looking at the time me and my dad went to the West Ham versus Manchester United game at Upton Park. I got tickets for us both because he is a Hammers fan and after driving me to Old Trafford to watch us stuff Arsenal with 7 defenders recently in the FA Cup Quarter Finals 2-0 I thought I'd buy us tickets but yes I had to sit with the West Ham fans. We went 2-0 down to two first half penalties, no complaints with them but really I'm not sure if 2-0 had justified the way we were playing, we'd created chances but lacked the cutting edge until the second half... at halftime I kissed my tattoo in the toilets as I was obviously not showing that I was a Man United fan whilst sitting with the home fans haha but yeah I said as I kissed the badge 'Come On United! We can do this!' well Hernandez came on, the Mexican superstar and thankfully he and the team delivered an inspiring second half comeback! Just to add Ryan Giggs had another class as always, one of the greatest players of all time... there is no doubt about it!
Rooney scored a quality curling free kick before finishing fantastically from a marvellous first touch for his second and then Wazza completed his hat-trick with a penalty! I was over the moon and twitching with joy and smiling. I went to the toilet after our first to smile to myself lmao but yes the comeback was completed, I got to see Wayne Rooney have the best game of his season and hopefully get back to his best form which he has slowly been getting to up until this great performance. Javier Hernandez got the 4th, I was so happy to get to see probably my favourite player for United score. A great day out but I did feel slightly sorry for my Dad but being honest I think West Ham will survive and I hope they do.
To finish this really was a Championship winning performance, I feel like we've got the title now but obviously we have to just focus to make sure we finish the job and hopefully with winning the Premier League so will Champions League and FA Cup triumphs. A second treble would be amazing! To every United fan out there have faith and believe in the team and we will achieve greatness! Glory Glory Man United! Thanks for reading.
Wayne Rooney! Hat-trick 101 Premier League goals! 'Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent!'
