Old Trafford, Wed 25 January, 2006

Manchester United 2

United secured a Carling Cup final tie with Wigan at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday 26 February with a pleasing 2-1 victory over North-west neighbours Blackburn at Old Trafford.

Goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Louis Saha cancelled out Steven Reid’s strike and handed the Reds a 3-2 aggregate win and a third visit to Cardiff in three years.

Should I be happy or not?

MU fans used to celebrate the victory of the Premier and Championship League.
And now, we're so exciting for entering Carling Cup final.
The cup, which we nearly forgot in last ten years.

Maybe we should learn to find blessedness in a simple victory all over again. To me, I loved MU ever since the time of KING Cantona, and victory is not the reason I love MU so much, nor BECK either. And I believe 90% of the MU fans love MU because they can see a "Never Give Up" spirit on the players. Have they lost the tradition now? From the match beaten by Man City, the last goal by Man City, I believe so. Or even earlier, the match in Portugal. It hurt me the most.

RED Evil will never be a real RED Evil unless the "Never Give Up" spirit come back, it make them as grisly as Evil before their competitors. When will it come back? May be next match, or next season? Or maybe right here from the match we smooth Liverpool at the last minute.
