MANCHESTER ! CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE

s
What a night of Drama ! It was well worth it to miss my sleep for this night of history. It was great too to have some of the guys over to share in the jubilation. I thought in the first-half that we were going to stroll into the championship, but as usually Manchester united always seem to like to take the difficult route.

The misses by Carlos Teves would have been crucial, if not for the great help from the goalkeeper's best friend. Not the defenders this time, but the goal post. I could count the post saving us on 3 occasions.

One was the shot by Drogba, then Lampard's swirling kick in the box and the last but not least John Terry's inexplicable miss from the spot-kick. Somehow i feel the ball seem to gravitate towards the post every time Chelsea shot. Maybe its really Manchester's destiny to win the double.

It would have been a cruel injustice if they had not won, as Manchester had been a better team all season. But what a way to end the league with a penalty shoot-out, for once i thought the miss by Ronaldo would be back to haunt us. All i can say is its our destiny.

Saviour the moment ! And EURO Championship will be round the corner. ..... 5th June.... more soccer.
