Double Double

"Aku dah call Roman suruh jual itu Anelka. Hampeh betul. Sedih siol. Too near yet too far."
That was the reply I got from Shahrul. Earlier I texted him, "Takziah. Dari dasar hati. Chelsea was a worthy opponent. Jgn nangis kay."

There you are, another silverware for the "Kings of Europe", after a gruelling match in Moscow rain. First half was brilliant football for Man U. Second half, I found most of the time I was holding my breath. Full time 1 - 1. One each for Ronaldo & Lampard.
Extra time saw missed chances by both sides. In a moment of madness, Drogba turned stupid and slapped Vidic, an act fitting for a red card.

It had to be settled by penalty shootouts. And guess what, United has never won a penalty shootout under Sir Alex. And as I predicted, it had to be the Best Player of the World to screw up. But thanks to the rain, Terry did a "Beckham" and hit the post and Anelka had to be the one to bear the burden of "you must score" and didn't. Full time 1-1 and 6-5 on penalties. Kudos to Van de Sar the savior, Ferdinand, Sir Alex & the lads.

Three times European Champions.
1968, 1999 and 2008.

Couldn't be better after crowned "Kings of England" last week.
