Fortunately or unfortunately, I ended up dozing off the night of the Sheffield United game a little after the team sheets came out.

I did wake up disappointed to see that we lost and my heart did sink a bit while watching the highlights.

Was it a bad performance? Absolutely, yes. Is it the end of the season for us? No, we still have a lot to play for.

After the 6-1 defeat to Spurs, most of us would have gleefully said yes to being 2nd in the league, 3 points ahead of Liverpool and 4 points from the top (of course, we might have negotiated a bit about the Champions’ League bit) . It might not be to the standard of our glory years but we can admit that it’s an improvement. In some way, we ARE moving forward.

As passionate fans, all of us will have areas where we feel the team can improve, where the coach can do things differently or that certain players should be doing better. And it’s human nature to voice out that frustration in some form and I suppose all of us do it, myself included, to let go of that frustration. Some do it differently than others.

Without rambling on, I think what I am trying to say is that we have just gone through a strange year which affected each one of us in different ways. We are here on this site purely out of love for one common element - Manchester United (also for Ed001’s player profiles and tactical analyses and pestering Ed002 to spill some tea on the latest transfer gossip) . All of us have different opinions and more often that not, we might not agree with each other. But, is it too much to ask for all of us to be a bit kinder and bit more emphatic to each other? Just be a bit more united amongst ourselves.

This has been a crazy season and could still get much crazy by the time it ends. Let’s enjoy the ride and remember it for the right reasons if we do end winning something.

I like emphatic. There's definitely not enough emphaticness on this site.
