Its called the Theater of Dreams for nothing.
You are under pressure.
You have the worst line up.
You are up and then down.
The world is laughing at you.
You win. You don't smirk them back.
You are United.
In my first period of manchester united football today was Thanksgiving. After two losses,due to red cards and goals United are back united today . They were always there. I hardly know the game but then it is so obvious that United is something different and that it is hardly their game which hooks, its the effort and something else. Its not their trophies or victories ,its sheer determination and attitude and their respect for success and failure which attracts you. Its their value and the discipline which they uphold to the finish. Right from their jerseys to their sponsors, United are an everlasting melting pot of the world's everything finest. Success connotes more than winning here. Yes,they are just a fc.
The rational me has questioned the irrational me quite often on my support for them citing it some infatuation. The answer has been after some thinking that I am in a relationship with it. My hands were trembling seeing them play Milan, a second occurrence after JEE. Seeing them loose for the first time apart from tears was mentally deranging. Not because they lost,but hard to see efforts go in vain so miserably. Vidic dragging and flogging Gerrard just to safeguard United territory. Why? That day the the rational me shut up . The second loss was an even more enjoyable experience. Life's lessons have never been taught in ninety minutes earlier.
I have been largely confused about my preferences throughout life,but then you have to see them to understand. I had a spat with a good friend (still) which really got personal but then people who hate United should learn a lesson. Its shocking to see people who hate united, or it will be a little comforting to understand these people like nsit and cockroaches and rest. People call them baseless glory hunters. These are idiots. Never argue with idiots because they drag us down to their level and then win because they have experience. The red jerseys, the AIG ,the manager ,the aura it is absolutely addictive. They are some distance away,financially as well but the twain will meet and something will happen then.
United are a genre in life. They are an axiom of life. They are a way your life is as seen by you,not by others. If you don't love yourself you can hardly love united. If you are dumb and love yourself even more,you are the perfect united fan. If you believe in god and shit and care about the result you can never be united. If you love Joey Tribbiani and Phoebe Buffay more than anything on the planet you are united.If you like going to malls and fests to "enjoy" you are not united. They are for people whose life is absolutely the way it should not be. They are a perfect antidote for people who were in dce and then in nsit mpa . The match days have provided the buzz which has been missing lately. It has been four months since I shifted over and things have never ever settled. I may say the place is boring, dull, or monotonous or so my batch but then for someone who had to drop an year such epithets are completely unjustifiable. An awkward silence is everything.
Sad that it will last for four years.
Glad that we have another match in forty eight hours.
PS--Yes,I can hardly name the United squad. It doesn't matter. I know them anyhow.
PPS- Stress is measured in MPa. Should have known.
