Christ, some crazy things happened since we disappeared last December. Paul Scholes was given 2 hours to decide if he wanted to go to the World Cup so said no, whereas Emile Heskey was given 2 years and said yes. Emile Heskey then retired from international duty, perhaps thinking Scholes had it right all along. Germany cost me £160 with an inept performance when it really mattered, and Ronaldo became a dad! Most strange of all though, Nani remembered that he was a professional footballer.
So yes, crazy times! With any luck, this season will be a rollercoaster ride like the last, but with that elusive 19th title and 4th European Cup. A 12th FA Cup would always be nice as well. Just as long as we don't come up against Leeds! You can take a look at the United Lounge end of season awards here, to see what the UL members considered to be the best and worst of 2009/10.
One last thing, last season, good things were predicted of Antonio Valencia in this very blog. So whilst it's been a while since he signed, and he's made his mark in the pre-season tour, let's all welcome Javier Hernández, also known as Chicharito. Like Valencia, not the most obvious target, but reminiscent of a 1998 Michael Owen, he might well keep the 2010 version out of the side. He looked very good with Macheda, so who knows, perhaps we've found the partnership of the future?
