Default is hardly the correct word Dave. We are deservedly winning the league due to an immense team spirit which is lacking in competing clubs in my view. It has been noted on so many occassions this team 'isn't one of Uniteds best'. On paper, Chelsea have a better team, but United are a team of grafters. Valencia is a great supplier and we missed him so badly this season, he has been like a new signing. Park is fantastic in the big games, I think he's very special. Great decision to make Vidic captain, he's been on top form this season. And just great personalities. Giggs is not only playing at such a high standard, he's the very epitome of professionalism, over 20 years now he's been playing, he's still putting in top class performaces. And Van Der Sar, 40 years of age, yet still a top class keeper and a top man. Imagine having people like him in the dressing room? Lacking at the other clubs. And of course the manager, genius, couple of fine signings this season for next to nothing (we'll forget about Bebe). Smalling has been great and Chicharito has been the signing of the season.
As for Barcelona, I don't really like them either. Seem to bring a ridiculous amount of cheating to there game, though there are some great likeable players there: Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Villa and of course Messi, there are some right cheating twats there- Alves, Mascherano and the worse of the lot Busquettes. Never seen a worser cheat than Busquetts. And how he seems to have escaped action after calling Real Madrid's Marcelo a 'monkey' during the semi-final goes to prove Mourinho's theory as a bias towards Barcelona. He should be banned, no question about it, disgraceful behaviour, if a United player said such a thing, they would quite rightly be crucified in the media. Let's hope we get a strong ref in the final who won't be conned by diving around or intimidated by constantly being surrounded by Barca players.
And finally, I'm starting to feel increasingly sorry for Neil Lennon. Top man in my opinion, he's had letterbombs sent to him and now he's been attacked by a supporter in Celtic's game tonight. Things carry on, he could easily be assasinated, all for being Celtic manager. It really isn't right this sectarianism is still going on to such high levels in the game.
