On United’s collapse and the difference between losing and losing it

By Anthony Lopopolo

Sir Alex Ferguson lost it. He saw the red card and charged like a bull. He slammed the seat in front of him, pushing a team official out of his way to reach the touchline, looking this way and that, as if searching for an answer. There were none. In a seemingly innocuous attempt to cushion the ball floating over him, Nani collided with Real Madrid’s Alvaro Arbeloa and caught him with his cleat. He was sent off. 

Just minutes before, Manchester United enjoyed the product of Nani’s labour. The winger picked up the ball inside the box and sent it inward, where Madrid’s Sergio Ramos knocked it into his own goal. All the risks Ferguson took looked justified. Wayne Rooney was sitting on the bench, but the manager’s functional players had followed his orders: they sat back, gifted Madrid the ball and struck on the counter with seething pace. 

United were beating their opponent at their own damn game.

And then it all fell apart. The dismissal of Nani, whether it was right or wrong or misunderstood or calculated — Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir had a good couple of minutes to deliberate his verdict, and brandished his red card almost out of nowhere — forever took the protagonist’s role in the game. It robbed the game of its purity. It conjured questions in a game that had been such a wonderful display of football. The defending was masterful. The play was quick. The game was open, a chess board with all its pieces cast in strategic places by each of its players, Ferguson and his friend Jose Mourinho. Ferguson was winning. 

Then an undue interruption: in the form of Nani, the pride and wind and the concentration that got United this far in the game left the match. Ferguson barked at the fourth official, who just told him to calm down. And he did. He drew that familiar scowl on his face, while chewing his gum ever so fiercely, and gestured to the crowd. Come on! Come on! Get behind our lads, Ferguson said with his hands, fluttering in front of his choir of 74,959 at Old Trafford on Tuesday. He looked like he wanted to channel everyone’s frustration and concentrate that energy on the greater good: winning it. 

But that wish wasn’t granted.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, The Savage Knight

If you’re one of the holdouts to HBO’s Game of Thrones because shadow babies and snow zombies strike you as fantasy, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays the rakish Jaime Lannister, won’t hold it against you. Although the books have sold more than 20 million copies and spawned moblike forums berating author George R.R. Martin for not yet having completed the series (“Pull your fucking typewriter out of your ass and start fucking typing”), the 42-year-old Dane admits to having reservations about the genre. “It’s probably my own lack of education,” he says carefully, “but you know, it’s always good guy against bad guy, and there are those really tacky book covers.” What eventually sold him on the show, though, is its all-too-human characters with their flesh-and-blood ambitions and flaws.

In real life, Coster-Waldau has kept a low profile, though that might change this year after he appears in Tom Cruise’s postapocalyptic Oblivion and in the horror movie Mama. The latter is another genre about which he’s squeamish: “I had to watch it with the sound turned way down. I’m such a wimp.” One can imagine certain other names GoT fanboys might call him for that.

nbaoffseason:

Kris Humphries has lost his spot in the Brooklyn Nets rotation, which has to be particularly galling for that guy who got traded from James Harden’s entourage. Humphries still has a year and $12 million left on the free agent contract he signed before the season, but it doesn’t look like he’s a part of the Nets’ future plans. Who would have thought that someone would make a long-term commitment to Kris Humphries, but then totally change their mind just a few months later?
The Nets plan to replace Humphries alongside Brook Lopez with a front court rotation of Andray Blatche, Reggie Evans, Mirza Teletovic, and Kanye West.

Q’s Corner

Friday is shaking its ass and I’m a nymphomaniac who’s viagra has been spiked with sleeping tablets.

Ball until she calls & tells u that u can’t see each other anymore coz her bf found the receipts & is telling her parents.

I read DT’s tweets in her accent

Rick James says the bat in Oscars house was from another murder? By confession?… Jesus has a bigger plan for all of us than this

I despise twitter and how it treats our international guests

Some people wake up early just 2 text “Its time 2 grind , going 2 town” that time its 6am! Yimani

This flippen secretary’s “diamonds in the sky” ring tone and “one another thing” english are going to end me

Blacks love the whole “I’m not your age” story… I’m older than ur father in bed u can ask ur oulady

Gerrie Nel = BEAST

“Premeditation does not require months of planning” *cheers*
Barry Roux I see you

Nel must come back with a simple question. “…If so, where did he think Reeva was?” *Pow* di ilo go bowa

Guys this is not Sokhela and Associates, mize, Barry Roux is doing great as defense attorney and I know coz my sis is a kick ass attorney

So has the hunting expedition found anymore tweets from the deceased? No, yes…ok

Tomorrow some of you will be tweeting “I should have gone” when ppl’s friends are discussing their trips to PE


Ex what what: Premeditated murder, but it could be changed when he is on trail*
Lil Sis: like jogging and stuff
:”D Dozo is full of shit

Neo: I dated the a lawyer’s daughter at some point… that nigga was so paid
Dozo: Shuda
dated a teachers kid clearly

It’s a well know habit of the South African criminal to gain entry to one’s bedroom and take a dump while you sleep 5m away.

SammyJ: Oscar says he did not plan to murder Reeva. I say Oscartlorenyela. Oscartloretlwaela. Oscaretena mo.

LTido: Sheeeesh! Oscar Pistorius earns R5,6million a year!
Ole: Oscar ngwathela badidi borotho hle, ke ba ba lla mo go twitter ka di nko

Oscar needs the dream team… Robbie Kardashian, Johnnie Cochran, Old Tommy M and Realeboga Charlotte Cross

What do u do wen u r playing a team who cn afford 2 bench players like Arjen Robben & Mario Gomez?! /
\

Wenger must just buy a new coach
Arsenal used to pass into the net, now they pass time


There is absolutely nuttin Arsenal fans can say ryt nw, keep q
uiet & accept that yr team sucks

#TheLastTimeArsenalWonATrophy - Government was delivering textbooks in Limpopo.

#TheLastTimeArsenalWonATrophy - SAFA was bidding for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
AKA is the Arsenal of DJ Zinhle’s sex life so he can pass us by

Bash thinks Oscar is asleep? Jo at Brooklyn u can hear all those sluts from Unilofts getting it on…the men in those cells don’t sleep

Tbotouch: I won’t go to bed before you win 2 tickets to see @MiguelLiveInSA trust me..
Ole: Its 23:22. U had ur moment ka 3-6. Go sleep.

Arsenal always goes on about hw much of an achievement it is 2 make it 2 the Champions’ League. Wht’s the point if u aren’t gna challenge bro?

Arsenal played @ home without a proper striker. Wenger is the epitome of “YOLO”. Lol!

There r actually Arsenal supporters who believed that they would beat Bayern Munchen last night! Lol! :”D!

Niggas are otchea telling us they are leaving tuks… Just remember tht there’s a difference between u leaving TUKS & TUKS leaving u.

Let’s wait 4 the facts 2 present themselves b4 we brand Oscar a “Murderer”. Look, Oscar was/is my hero. #RealTalk

This was a bad time 2 reveal the news about “AGANG”, anything on the news that isn’t Oskido related is null & void and I’m in Australia

Look, Head & Shoulders is a fantastic shampoo but I doubt burglars will break into a R3,9million house 2 steal a bottle of it.

Oscars’ defense has a lot in common with Bongani Khumalo as far as defending is concerned, they both speak well but that’s about it…

“The Carter III” is still a hip hop classic, despite the fact that Weezy is 5-to-finished.

I think Tokyo’s wife divorced him for referring 2 Chad Le Clos as “Cloyd” at the S.A Sports Awards

Question: If Chad Le Clos decides 2 go swim with the dolphins deep in the ocean, will lifeguards, Sipho & Mandla go after hm 2 stop him?

Rape is a reality in South Africa but let’s not forget the Zodwa’s of this cowntry who cry rape wen okes tima them D.
Let’s invest in our young men so tht they don’t become trigger happy okes who shoot ppl when things don’t go their way.

There’s nothing as painful as going thru an exam paper & saying 2 urself: “how am I gna pass this?” as u write ur name & surname. /
\ I’ve never experienced that I’m just thinking lol

If okes only listened 2 Kei
th Sweat’s “Twisted”, there wud b less crimes of passion. “But I gotta b strong (girl u did me wrong)” *singing*

#PickUpLinesINeverGotToUse Girl, you know you want that gin! I’m Jabu Pule aka uzonxil’ ulahle.

Can’t help but think things would be different had Mufasa had a Kaizer Chiefs Funeral Plan.

Therz nothing as humbling as hving a prominent person make time for u. It reminds u tht u cn nvr b more important than the nxt generation.

It really doesn’t help to be a douche when u ain’t shit.

The fact tht ur gf doesn’t drink doesn’t make her innocent, mara bastet it eliminates a lot of household issues.

Relationships in which both partners drink equally are a challenge. Who’s gonna drive u okes home? I love that my chick drinks but I’d hate it if she drank like me or worse , out drank me o_O

U knw its love if you’ve ever considered putting Allergex in her Oros so tht she cn sleep so u cn watch the football in peace.

Okes, I’m afraid I can’t visit u if your house isn’t on my way to work or home. R13 per liter is real. Cars don’t run on water.

Just wen u thot the fuel price won’t affect u coz u don’t hv a car - taxi prices will also go up ya bish! It ain’t safe no more. /

Dortmund will be this season’s surprise package in the Champions’ League. I see
these okes playing in the final @ Wembley.

Howard Webb is going to officiate the United vs Chelsea game at Old Trafford. Re tlo nyela!

One has to admire the mutual respect between United & Madrid tho.

They cheat on their boyfriends & then they call it “living”. These r the people tht okes will have 2 choose their wives 4rm.

Calls. From True Affiliates…Always make my Night!

I don’t understand why people hate on pro-twerkers tho, I really don’t. Because what they r doing is very beautiful

Barca lose 3 games (of which they didn’t hv a coach 4) & all of a suddn okes 4get hw they used 2 play wit teams like its a training session. I’m Madrid fan but Barca is a brilliant team we can’t lie

I don’t think Bonang cn twerk. This explains why that other oke broke her gate & window.

Studies conducted @ The University of Gambia reveal tht hosting pool parties in the hood is seen as culpable homicide or attempted murder.

I remember when Beyonce showed Oprah the booty hop on her show. I think its only right for her 2 update her with the twerk. Its 2013 chief

Now for the facts…

I love Bafana Bafana but we draw better than the great Micheal Angelo.        

The only time I’ll agree to be on tv,is when I’m invited to push the lotto button le Nimrod Nkosi. 

If u give a girl 4rm Giyani a “xiwintsi”, u r getting laid 2nyt. Google it if u don’t know.  

Football isn’t just a game.

Nobody knows pine gel like people from Limpopo and Mpumalanga… Niggas know that shit from miles away.

Window shopping Capital of the world: Sunnypark Mall. Everybody walks out of this bish empty handed. /☹\        

The next season of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” will be shot inside Kim’s vagina.        

86,5% of the dp’s on our TLs epitomize false advertising.

Couples who are always out here making noise r lousy in real life.        

The ultimate cause of an instant downfall is forgetting the ppl who were with u shooting in the gym.        

If u ever owned G-Unit sneakers, u r a closet lover of “YMCMB” gear & u’ve got it in u to pierce ur belly button.        

Its so hot that food gets expired before the expiry date. Like the food just says, “fuck it I’m dead”

If u’re not gna make love 2 her becoz her panties dn’t match her bra, then u must jst volunteer 2 b a soldier in Iraq bro, we don’t need u here.           

The “then vs than epidemic” will never leave us as South Africans.

97% of the women dishing out relationship advice have been in a chain of bad relationships & ultimately eat out of the palm of sum random oke.

An African man with a ponytail cannot protect his family when Jehova’s Witnesses come knocking on his door on Saturday morning.

As a man, if u drink ciders, u compromise the credibility of your testicles.        

People who look up to Kim Kardashian have got questionable intelligence & vaginas. Those who admire her Style are an exception.. We cannot lie about this, the woman does have style.

Social networks r a good platform for bad advice.

A man’s G-spot is up his anus but I’d rather die than experience the ultimate orgasm.         

I need not justify my existence to anyone! I’m a winning sperm ya bish!!

Bongiwe Sambo has a great body, shes smart, shes beautiful and she has style, she’s what some people call “the whole package” and guess what!? Shes mine ya bish!!! Now that’s a Fact!!

#CuanFacts is a Lake House initiative & is brought to u by “Brookes Beverages”.
