Derby County upsets Manchester United

This is damn disturbing..

The night before this match was about to begin, i was awake till about 2am because of a bad flu and sore throat that kept me up. But still I managed to wake up as early as 4am to watch my favourite team play the game.

When i look at the starting line up, i noticed that Manchester United let most of their reserves start. But obviously la, we have a big game this Saturday against Chelsea.

So, i wasn't really suprised at the fact that United didn't put Rooney or Ronaldo to start.

What stunned the Red Army was the power shot from 25 yards away from goal from Commons (a Derby County player). I was personally impressed by the way that a small club like Derby put up a great fight and was fearless in the attack.
0-1
LOSING
So United were force to bring in the powerful Duo, Rooney and Ronaldo! wooohooo!! hahaha..
(Ronaldo's free kick was narrowly wide)
But still, it wasn't enough, cause the time limit was soo short. Rooney and Ronaldo was on fire and believe me, if they started, i think we would be winning 5-1.


(At the final whistle, Rooney reacts with an upset)

(New Derby manager reacts after the final whistle)


But as a faithful United fan, i was personally dissappointed with the fact that United's 14-match unbeaten record ended. However, I was soon relieve as I understood that there is another playoff at OLD TRAFFORD!! hahahahah..

So, Congratz to Derby County on your win!

but Thunder doesn't strike twice, so don't get your hopes high.

United will show their true colours when you enter the Theater of Dreams.
