No wonder Reds rusty Is it all just a coincidence?

AFTER United’s 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace in the first league game of the season, came the usual excuses and recriminations.

Solskjaer said ‘we need games, we all need sharpness, we all need time to get back to our best.’ So why did United accept the invitation of the Premier League and postpone the actual first game of the season against Burnley to give them an extended break after their European exertions?

By the time they played Palace they had not played a competitive game since their Europa Cup semi defeat against Sevilla on the 16th of August... a break of 34 days.

No wonder they were ‘ring rusty’... it made more sense to play the week before against one of their weaker opponents.

This would have still been a 27-day break, surely enough time to rest, have a holiday and prepare for the new season?

Liverpool and City didn’t start the season in the same sluggish way... no excuses coming from them!

Some players got up to the usual pre-season shenanigans, while others seem to lack focus and don’t realise what a great honour it is to play for Manchester United.

Let’s hope they’ve had a wake-up call!

WHAT incredible coincidences: in the Rockefeller Foundation’s lockstep document of 2010, a future pandemic scenario is described which mentions a new virus that spreads quickly around the world killing millions of people.

Governments around the world react with draconian top down measures which include social distancing, face masks, the introduction of biometric identification (microchips) and heavy-handed policing.

In 2017 Dr. Fauci announced that in Trump’s presidential reign there would be a ‘surprise’ virus outbreak.

Wow, what incredible coincidences, but I’m just another conspiracy theorist, right?
