Man U are the kings of Europe

I stayed home today to watch the Champions League final. It was the first time that there was an all english final. It was between Chelsea (who knocked out Arsenal, bastards!) and Man U(who were Arsenal's chief rivals for so long). I dont know that I was really rooting for either team but I also didn't want Chelsea to win either!!!

Chelsea is like the Yankees. they buy the best players and overpay at that. That just ruins it for the rest of us. Plus they are so damn cocky and I cant stand the way they play their football.

Anyways I digress. The game wasn't too bad in the first half. Man U was bossing the game and looked like the team to win. It especially seemed that way after C. Ronaldo headed home the games first goal around the 30 min mark.

I was thinking that they looked the better team and was going to win. That was until Frank 'Dank' Lampard scored to even the game at 1 a piece on the 40th minute. This really took the wind out of United's sails. But luckily the half time came and they could take a draw into the changeroom.


The second half was a bit of a snoozer. Both sides weren't willing to be that adventurous and although Chelsea looked the better half in the second, I didn't think that they were going to win.

Fast forward to extra time. Didier Drogba got a straight red with 7 minutes left in the game. A bit of foolish thing to do in the biggest game of the season, if not his career.

He slapped Vidic in the face. Silly boy! But in the end, it didnt matter the game went to shoot outs and Man U was victorious! Thank god!


until next time...
