up all night and depressed!

it happened! exactly what i had feared! ManUtd got dumped out of Europe - they couldn't even qualify for UEFA Cup. i was telling my flatmate earlier in the evening that i was sure i would be up till 3am and they would lose. man! this is what happened with Porto way back in early 2002, but atleast that was not in the group stages. am so angry! this team just can't score in europe after having rooney and nistelrooy...something's wrong...everything that Keano said (and got dumped because of it) is true. the defense was paper thin. they was hardly any wing play (oh Becks why did u leave) with Gary Neville of all people swinging the ball into the box. Giggs was a shadow and Ronaldo needs to learn and fast! He is not Sir Stanley Mathews and the sooner he gets that its better. The worrying part was that except the goal and another save from a Scholes shot, the Benfica goalie didn't have to make a save! How crazy is that? I have a feeling heads are going to roll soon, lets see what happens in the December transfer window. Fergie is walkin on a wire right now! This is like the end of the footballing season for me...i don't see Chelski losing its hold on no. 1 in the league so its going to a battle for second place and frankly i'm tired of being optimistic for the club now.
