According to "Ferguson and Mancini insist Premier League title not over", Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United Boss, hopes Queens Park Ranger will be able to help his team to obtain the title by stopping Manchester City from finishing the line because QPR now are fighting relegation and need a point to save their Premier Status (¶ 4), whereas Man City boss Roberto Mancini is not careless and says that it is not over and that his team has to make an effort to win a one game left.
As known, Premier League is one of the best football leagues in the world. There are many tought football teams, which makes it not easy for the team wishing to win the title, It demonstrates that the winner is the best team in England having most consistence for 38 games through out a year. For this reason, it seems reasonable that two teams on the lead have to compete for the championship until the final day of the season. However, from my perpective, no matter which team between Man Utd and Man City grabs the title, both of them already lost in this season (2011-2012). The reason why I think in this way because they both have not shown some good qualities that the champion must have, which I am going to expound in the following paragraphs.
For Man Utd, although I am a very big fan of them, I cannot turn a blind eye to their mistakes. The most succinct mistake they have done is that Man Utd failed to get a title when they have a chance. Last month, they had 8 points over Man City, which was the best opportunity. Moreover, Man Utd lost their credit that they are the best at having experience in moving forward to getting a cup. Also, they were defeated in all leagues they entered this year namely League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Champion League and UEFA Europa League. Finally, what I think it is bad is that they changed their style of playing football. I believe that other red devils are not satisfied with this as well.
For the view that I have for Man City, the first thing that I think it should not be appropriate for Man City to do is to show their disharmony. Many football players in this team criticize one another via media. Also, Man City manager Roberto Mancini did something which I think is unacceptable and unprofessional is that he rebuked his player in public. Furthermore, their team members have had many scandals in this year, which is not a model for kids. The last reason is that the owner of this team invested a ton of money--I have a strong feeling that he should have not done that because it seems like that money can buy everything in the world, but I think Man City's result should be better than this.
All in all, I would like to reinforce my standpoint that whether either Man Utd or Man City get a title, they already are debacles. And I hope they both will improve in the next season.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the important difference?
My previous comment is a bit on the boring side, but to be honest, I know so little about football that I don't know that I can intelligently say much more.
ReplyDeleteThe only footballer I can name is David Beckham, and that for his underwear advertisements more than his skill at football. His wife's impressive heels at Prince William and Kate's marriage last year (or was it longer ago?) helped make another memorable Beckham image, although that fascinator on Princess Beatrice's head rather stole that show.
But I'm happy for you to blog on anything on the BBC News that interests you. Note's sports post is a welcome addition to the growing range of topics for us to consider, criticise and respond to.
Thanks for your comment, Peter.
DeleteBy the way, I am also a big fan of David Beckham and he is a reason when I started to watch a football match many years ago.
