In cup competition; top favorite are, mostly, losers

What make me worry, now, is my club, MU, is currently favorite to win both Champions League, and FA Cup; they are not even favorite, but top favorite, to gain 'triple' this year.

Every bookie odd so; every fan guess so; every football journalist tip so. Those make my worriness level higher.

Yeah, MU beat Roma 7-1, and C.Ronaldo is in unbelievable form! I pray those two are not 'indirectly introduction' of MU's downfall this season.

We should not forget MU has injuries concern; Chelsea, only recently after Mourinho in charge, and AC Milan are very reliable in title run-in.

Another main point is MU 'being top favorite.' Look back history pal, not far away, what happened to clearly favorite Brazil in World Cup 2006. That is not sole example. The list includes France in 2002 World Cup, Brazil in 1998 World Cup, and AC Milan in 2005 Istanbul final etc...

If top favorite definitely win the tournament, Porto would not win Champions League in 2004-2005, Greece and Denmark would not crown European Cup in 2004 and 1992 respectively.

I wish, now, MU players are not over-the-moon until they gain another 'triple'; I wish they look back to those statistic and learn from those.

Dear Players, Be more concentrated on this season agenda, to win back EPL, on match-by-match basic. Fans should not expect too much from players as, these day, players play more games than in 1998-99 season; even Sir Alex admitted that another triple is impossible because of that.

I will be more than satisfy even if MU kicks Chelsea out from England throne. EPL title is more than enough! Winning extra EPL will be huge bonus this season.

Finally, Be REALIST!
