Manchester United fans are - just like Liverpool fans two years ago - starting to go on about various omens that point to them emulating their treble-winning season of 1999. Just look at the evidence:
• They’ve played Italian sides in the quarter and semi-finals of the
Champions League (Roma and AC Milan) just like they did then (Inter Milan and Juventus).
• They won their FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park (vs Watford) just like they
did then (vs Arsenal).
• The season began with opposition crowds booing one of their players
because of what he did at the World Cup (Cristiano Ronaldo) just like they did then (David Beckham).
But perhaps most irrefutable of all:
• A ginger bloke with a squeaky voice dies after watching them on telly
(Alan Ball) just like he did then (Rod Hull).
Chelsea may as well give up now.
