Man Utd Ramblings – It’ll Be All White On The Night

By: Wayne Farry | May 20th, 2009

Another fairly lazy day today so gonna plump you all up with another fill of Man Utd Ramblings. It could be worse, I don’t know how but I’m sure it could be.

The news came out recently that Man Utd will wear a full white kit for the Champions League Final against Barcelona. Barcelona presumably won a coin-toss deciding this thing and they will wear their home kit. Some people think it’s not a good thing that we’re wearing it, because we lost to Liverpool in it earlier this season, therefore carrying bad luck. A load of balls to me really, doesn’t matter what colour the jersey is. But would you prefer to see us in the home or away kit?

In our next piece of mind-blowing news, Dimitar Berbatov is continuing to convince people that he is human. After speaking to Sky Sports (above) he said “Don’t be bothered by my face if I don’t show it. Trust me, on the inside I’m really happy here.” And in another interview he has done recently (he’s really putting himself about) he said that he gets so nervous every time he pulls on the United shirt that he shakes. I’m starting to see him more as a human now, not just some humanoid sent from the future to infuriate me.

Final piece of news is something I saw over at the brilliant Republik of Mancunia. Basically, the premise behind this was when Sir Alex won his first title with United back in 1992/93 Liverpool fans weren’t too worried. When Fergie brought his team of champions to Anfield in January 1994 held up this banner. Yes, that banner. Hmmmmm, it’s actually hard to fathom how much I laughed at that. It’s also hard to fathom just how loud our fans will sing “Ooh, aah Cantona! I said ooh, aah Cantona!” at Anfield next season.

And I’ll leave this with a beautiful poem my Manc mate Damien Molloy (told him I’d drop his name) text to me. Sit back, and enjoy.

Liverpool, Liverpool, how did you fair?
You beat us twice but no trophy was there,
Don’t be bitter don’t have a moan,
Tune in a week on Wednesday and watch us in Rome,
Eighteen times and that’s a fact,
Champions League Finals back to back,
I’ll just say one thing – I’m a Scouse hater,
And you’ll never win fuck all with that fat Spanish waiter.

Yeah, I contacted the guys at the Barca Offside and there's something brewing.

Really impatient question as usual : are we having a Barca fan vs United fan perspective thingy?

Sorry Wayne, my days are hinging desperately on your pre-match buildups.

it was great how chelsea tried to blame their loss last year on wearing their new jersey. the only way that jersey would have made a difference is if john terry had worn new boots to match it.

aj: No, that's not actually a point being made. I just read a fan on some forum earlier today saying that we shouldn't wear it because of bad results in it.

"A load of balls to me really, doesn’t matter what colour the jersey is."

From what I said directly after it you can tell that I personally don't believe in superstition regarding jerseys. I was just putting that guy's theory out there.

I actually like a white jersey, but I prefer our white kit from last year with the gold and black accents as opposed to red and blue.

"Some people think it’s not a good thing that we’re wearing it, because we lost to Liverpool in it earlier this season, therefore carrying bad luck."

Is that a point actually being made? If you follow that logic, then the home jersey carries bad luck as well.
