They are hiding behind their recent past record.
IT IS A FAR BIGGER GAME FOR THEM THAN IT IS TO US.
For us, it may be the 1st time in many years, so in that respect it is a big deal but in the longer term, it is only a semi-final that, should we win, will be immediately superceded by our thoughts of the final...a far bigger game. With our resources and our club's ambition, this game is merely a stepping stone at the beginning of our journey.
For the rags, in their dire financial condition, their state of civil war against their owners, the fact that they will soon have to replace Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs, Neville and possibly Vidic with little talent coming through...and taggart's near retirement. This is a MASSIVE game.
Ultimately, tonight may be a 1st stepping stone for us, but for them, it could mark the end to an era. We don't NEED tonight, we have a future...THEY HAVE TO WIN, TO CLING DESPERATELY ONTO A PAST.
