OCT 24 Thrashed 6-1 at home by crosstown rivals. It contingency have been unpleasant to be Sir Alex Ferguson final night as well as it contingency have been so hurting to be a United air blower examination a team taken apart by Manchester City.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak would not have been too happy final night though we think there have been a little lessons which he as well as his supervision can draw from yesterday.
each dynasty will fall. The Reds of Liverpool dominated in a '70s as well as '80s as well as Manchester United have swept all prior to them since afterwards though a demise of those teams coincided with a lack of talent.
Wellbeck is no Ronaldo nor is he Andy Cole, as well as Fletcher is no Scholes. Jonny Evans is a shadow of Bruce as well as De Gea is not possibly Van De Sar or Schmeichel.
Najib may fancy himself a Ferguson given which he is in assign of a celebration which has dominated internal governing body for so long though his team members have been a poor fabrication of a Umno leaders of a yesteryears, group who actually worked for a nation as opposed to a chaps we have today who have been usually interested in getting ahead. Noh Omar, Tengku Adnan, Nazri Aziz, Chua Soi Lek, Koh Tsu Koon, Palanivel. Can these group review with Tun Dr Ismail, Khir Johari, Tan Siew Sin, Lim Chong Eu?
And a sad story for Najib is which distinct Ferguson, he can't go out as well as feed his ordinary side by buying talent. He has got Mukhriz Mahathir, Khairy Jamaluddin as well as Ezam as his next in line. Not an moving bunch.
In contrast, a antithesis is usually slightly improved in bent though they seem to be hungrier as well as have not made lining their pockets a categorical task of being in power.
a name alone won't do. The days of United striking fright into a hearts of opponents by trait of their name is over. Even prior to City dismantled United, Norwich came to Old Trafford as well as should have taken all 3 points. The fri! ght fact or is gone.
In a same vein, Malaysians have no fright of a threats by Umno politicians. The nation will go up in fume if a antithesis takes over, a nation will be bankrupt if Pakatan Rakyat runs a country, a Malays will lose domestic power. Blah, blah, blah.
These have been only hollow difference of a domestic celebration trying a darnest to stay in energy so which it can go on to siphon this nation dry. We don't fright we anymore. At one time, we used to respect we as well as admire we though now we see we for what we are: bullies for a taking.
a great hold up makes we soft. The aged United teams would have not conceded easy goals as well as mislaid a quarrel after Evans was sent off. They would have regrouped as well as taken a quarrel to City. Turned grief to advantage.
Similarly, after 2008, Umno as well as BN could have reformed as well as changed back to a centre as well as reclaim a standing in Malaysian society.
Instead, it has mislaid focus as well as authorised a reduction talented as well as reduction reputable politicians guide it (read: Ibrahim Ali, Hishammuddin Hussein, Muhyiddin Yassin). Instead of regulating which grief of 2008 to make it stronger, it has authorised a grief to strike fright into a own hearts.
