Haha! Basking in the glory of the Reds' third European title here as I write this...but looking back, I guess they could have thrown it away a couple of times during the match. I'll admit, it wasn't the best performance by MU in any measure and the lads should have put the game beyond Chelsea in the first half. I mean they could have been 3-1 up for chrissakes. And if that wasn't bad enough, they actually let their opponents back into the game in the second half! That's when the usual United half-effort play began...you know, the half-hearted passes that were easily intercepted, little effort to win balls (even 50-50 ones), etc. And Chelsea hit the woodwork twice as a result. Yeah, like I said, it could so easily have gone the other way couldn't it?
It's easy to forget all those flaws in the United game when you watch Rio Ferdinand finally lift the cup, but somehow, somewhere, I feel something in the squad still needs straightening up. Maybe it's called team spirit. Or maybe it's a certain Brazilian right-back named Dani Alves. :)
Anyhows, here's to an even better next season where we win the quadruple without needing extra time or penalties to do it!
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED! THE REDS GO MARCHING ON, ON, ON!
Time to give off one of my evil laughs now...bwahahahahaha....
