Comments on: So That’s How You Win The Double!? http://manutd.theoffside.com/manchester-united/so-thats-how-you-win-the-double.html Man Utd Offside - All the news from the Red side of Manchester Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:05:15 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Kxevin http://manutd.theoffside.com/manchester-united/so-thats-how-you-win-the-double.html#comment-23721 Kxevin Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:22:06 +0000 http://manu.theoffside.com/manchester-united/so-thats-how-you-win-the-double.html#comment-23721 Meh. We were crap last season, and you guys still had to park the bus in front of goal to win on a 1-0 aggregate. We'll see what happens this season. Personally, I think that player diets are overrated. Speaking as a racing cyclist, calories are what counts. Some guys go fast on Coke and Twinkies, some guys go fast on the super-duper, macro protein mojo juice. To each their own, I say. Pique is just taking part in the fine tradition of letting one's ex-team have it a bit. I'm sure he doesn't mean very much of it. Strikes me as a fun-loving lad. And given his laconic attitude on the pitch, I can see why Ferguson sat him so much. He drives us crazy in Barca-land sometimes. Meh.

Outstanding... By the way, Rooney said it in an interview himself... After every game, he goes out and gets a bunch of Chinese food. Not exactly burgers, but still....

Not when you were a bench player and the people whose diet you're criticizing just won the European Double... I just find it very funny that Man U beat Barcelona (isn't that where he is now?), Roma and Lyon (Malouda was bashing the Chelsea diet too, no?) to win the Champion's League last season, even though seemingly they were fat and eating badly, whilst their opponents were lean and eating reasonably/well... Perhaps Xavi and his pals aren't all that good then, and Carrick and Co. are underrated! Imagine what Man U would be like if they had a better diet! They'd probably win the league and the Champions' League... Oh... Wait... Thing is, you criticize a diet when you’re not winning, and preferably when you’re in the starting XI.

I don't condone it but that's how it worked. ^ Damn right, Gazza wasn’t a bad player in his day either..Back in the 50s to the 70s all the players had a big steak meal before the match and had a fag at half time.
