I was tempted not to post anything after the Champions League win. Soon after the game finished, i browsed around the world wide web, reading all those beautiful coverage of the Kings of Europe. You know, you think you have it ‘enough’.

I watched the game LIVE on TV anyway so i don’t discover anything new, which include:

1. Chelsea players didn’t feel to lose. Hold on. Yo blues. Do you read the text in the medal you received carefully. Does it written that you were the winners? Hah?.
2. The haters is already talking about next year. Next year is going to be ours, we’ll beat you blah blah blah. Dude. They think they are the only ones who have next year plans. Yeah see you next year, but now it’s all about Reds.

Dude, the feeling to see the win was fantastic, even though it’s all the same stories. In the last 24 hours, it’s all about Manchester United in about everywhere. World wide web, TV, papers; name it.

However, one of the best thing of having a blog and blog about what i love, is that i am able to use the posts to discover what i do, including my past, present and future feelings. It’s a cool way to remembering the good time and bad times. It’s more likely to be a personal journal, that anyone else in the world with internet connection, can also read. So, i decide to post some of my thoughts.

Here we go. The Final Of Champions League 2007-2008; Manchester United VS Chelsea.

Whatever…

First things first; the bad things.

1. Important lad that was missing in the cloud of Reds: Ji Sung Park. You’re another unsung hero!
2. Ronaldo’s statement regarding his future. He’s an egoistic maniac and totally ruin the party. I don’t think he will ever change. He’s the same lad who ask the referee to card Rooney at the World Cup. I bet Tevez will score more goals if he leaves! But, let’s leave it to Sir Alex.
3. That Ivorian thug, who again had his clashes with Vidic whom successfully kept him under his pocket throughout the game. Drogba, you’re a fucking idiot!
4. I don’t understand why, when shots that hit the post labeled as ‘unlucky’. Here’s my thought on that. The shots are just not good enough that it don’t end at the goal. So to me it’s not unlucky, it’s not good enough. Period.’

Now the good part. The F***ing Win. Yesss!

Oh man the game was freaking tight. I watch the first goal with pride. You know, it’s good to see Wesley Brown can finally pass the ball ‘right’ on such important occassion, and that boy Ronaldo finished it off with style. His first goal against Chelsea. Several minutes after the goal, Reds find it hard to stop bombing the blue side of the pitch. It was maginificent long pass from Rooney after dispossessing a Chelsea striker passed through the right foot of Ronaldo. He then passed it right to Tevez followed by the awesome move by the big Chelsea goal keeper. However the clearance ball from Chelsea defender was only as far as Carrick that shot and only the great reflect of Cech keep Chelsea stays on the game. Came late at the first half, an equaliser came after Essien shot, which bounces from Vidic and Ferdinand, that lead the ball to unmarked Lampard. Edwin Van Der Sar slipped in the vital moment, another Chelsea ugly goal came, 1-1!

The second half, Chelsea played like a different team. But we have our chances and our defensive players were just wonderful.

The game went to extra time. As always, extra times are just awful for me. It was 20 tired lads running around to chase 1 ball that moves around the pitch. Nervy, as Chelsea have their moments. But again we passed it well. However, Giggsy almost brings us Champions League title early, after super cool run by Evra, but Terry’s super reflect header was awesomely denied the United legend to score his first Champions League final goal.

In the end, after no signs of a winner, penalty shoot out was even worst. I felt like i was going to pee in my pant everytime another Reds took on penalty. However, Ronaldo failed penalty was covered by Terry’s miss. He had the chance for glory, but weirdly enough, the score were back levelled. The next taker was Giggsy. He brought Chech the wrong way. He score. Level! Then there came the decisive moment, when Nicholas ‘the always rejecting Reds’ Anelka step up to the ball, only to be denied our own EDWIN VAN DER SAR.

That’s it. We’re crowned. The Champions of Europe.

Oh yeah you Reds!

This is yet the biggest Champions League final for me. The last Champions League final i watched was when Arsenal vs Barcelona in which Barcelona went as Champion.

The reason Champions League never been this big for is because i don’t really watch football (i watch Manchester United). Given this is the 3rd time (the 2nd time for me to watch the game LIVE at TV after the 1999 victory), no wonder if this competition is not an important trophy for this reds.

However, since Manchester United are through to the final, this is heaven for me. I sincerely hope we can win this match, despite i can’t understand why our team is all over media while Chelsea’s player are so quite (unlike before the final Premiere League game last week). I guess SAF should grounded the boys by not letting them talk to any media at all to focus on winning the game (remember the Ronaldo-Real connection early on? It’s disturbing!).

Dude, i even see the team preparing to fly out to Moscow and publish my thoughts in the internet. I never thought that Manchester United can play this big part in my life.

My best of luck goes out to all the lads. No matter who will be chosen by the Boss for the first team, i am sure all team will give out the best for Reds, as is the Club, The Boss (es), Themselves, Their Families and The Fans.

Come on you Reds, let’s win the Champions League!

So we hammered the Hammers today with convincing 4-1 win. In short, we scored 3 at the first half (Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Tevez), conceded 1 brilliant goal (I must say) from Dean Ashton, a fully deserved red card for Nani, and Carrick finished it off (with a little help from Hammer’s El Capitano) with his long range shot at the second half.

I think we played very well (and Hammers play totally awful) despite there were 10 lads left in the red part of the field, but we surely secure one hand on this season’s Premiership title and given back all the pressure to Ballack and his blue shirt friends.

But, despite the big win, our talking point is Nani (mine at least). Somehow he ruined our day. However, I think we need to look back on how this once great start as reds now continually ruined our days on watching reds.

Well, all I can remember was, ever since he got labeled as tinkerer by Wenger, (which SAF also agree, I don’t know why…) on our 4-0 win against Gooners in the FA Cup, the lad’s performance seems to go nowhere but down. Today was even worse. As SAF said ‘we’ll deal with that’ on his post match interview today (most of us know what that means), I think I will take a moment to send the lad all sympathy and support as he would probably one of our future star in the making along with Anderson.

Furthermore, I remember 2-3 years ago watching Reds. I can’t remember that Ronaldo has ever did that many good job for the team. The main reason why I remember the lad was because he wear the number 7 shirt. So I don’t think he had a good start in the Red uniform as good as Nani in his first season. I mean, look at Ronaldo now. Most of the time he’s our Messiah, and he has score 41 goals already with 2 more games to go. Given this situation, I think we should consider that Nani’s first already ended season as Reds is not bad at all. Earlier, he has proven that he get the talent by scoring goals and play a great part as a team. In today’s game, he is surely buried himself and I’m expecting this as his worst performance ever as Reds.

I admit. My opinion may be different if we lost today’s game. But as ever, the team has shown their maturity and get all the important 3 points. So I must say that his act will be forgiven (but no sooner than the summer break hehehe… you’ll be ‘banned’ kid!).

However, today’s game is another showcase which prove that we have a team that able to accomplish our title ambitions. Our chance to get double silverware is bigger than ever. We need 2 more wins and we can take our cold already champagnes (and all other form of alcoholic beverages) out of the ice boxes. We have no choice but to win the next 2 games.

So come on you Reds!

It was a night to remember. Given the fact how important this game to us after getting bad results away from home in the last couple of weeks. I will not go into the details of today’s game because dude, no reds fans should miss this game. But if you did miss it, there are always replay. But nothing beat the feeling to watch this match live, trust me man! This is the time when i wish i was at Old Trafford screaming and shouting with 70k other reds, and together with millions of Reds fans all around the world, feeling the thrilling second half, that felt like a year of dog year (it was so fucking long man, ha ha…!).

So our definite hero is Paul Scholes. His stunning long range super shot gave the Spanish goalkeeper no chance whatsoever to stop the ball. We, Reds, will always remember how he missed the final when we dramatically beat Bayern Munich 2-1. Now, with his goal, he brought us to our first final of Champions League since we won it back in 1999. But all the team, especially Carrick, Park and our back four (thanks man!), have shown their strength and consistency throughout the game and together we can prove that Prof. Xavi is wrong. Football is also about result professor… (and it was not a boring 1-0 win i suppose!).

However, we need to finish the party early, as we need to win another 3 games to finish the season with double silverware. Surely we have a team that capable to do that. The next focus is to let Nani know where the goal is (certainly not at the roof of football stadiums) and how to beat West Ham at home this Saturday.

To hell with other team’s result, the destiny is in our hands.

Come on you reds!

Update: Just after i publish this post, the Ginger Paul goal is already published online. Thanks for the beautiful people at YouTube!

Steve Bruce, a Manchester United legend, who is now managing Wigan, has give us a favor by held Chelsea at their backyard 1-1. It was last minute equaliser from Heskey that gives the Champion closer to retain their back to back title.

In other good news, Rio Ferdinand, the suposedly Ronaldo main contender on this year’s PFA award, has agreed to pen a new 5 year deal with the club.

I can see that the Reds will going stronger except that SAF and The Gang can’t make the most of the remaining fixtures. I sincerely hope no more experiment line up from the boss, as me and millions of Manchester United fans will love to see we can retain our title this season.

Don’t bother on what Chelsea are doing, what we can do and will do is the most important. That’s how we win the title last season.

Whatever is sweet, as long as we win the title. Come on you Reds!

From Manutd.com:

United midfielder Paul Scholes has been shortlisted for a place in the National Football Museum Hall of Fame 2007.

The 32-year-old became United’s highest Premier League scorer last week with his fine strike - his 96th in the league - in the 1-1 draw at Portsmouth.

He has now been included on a shortlist for the Hall of Fame along with six other names who will be announced shortly.

Paul Scholes is hero. Mandatory.
