Soccer: Is ‘Sheasey’ suffering from second season syndrome?

WRITING as I do on a Monday afternoon, I cast this anxious question forward into the future to you, dear reader, as you peruse this on a Wednesday: is my beloved Manchester still standing?

Or does it lie in smouldering ruins, with bloodied kilted warriors dancing atop its fiery graves?

I only ask because one might conclude, from the pre-Rangers hype this past weekend, that the apocalypse is coming down to Old Trafford.
