Champions!

Its excruciating to watch your loved club stutter and descend into mediocrity. With all the odds against them and the financial might of Chelsea, Manchester United have completed one of the most remarkable comebacks in sport ever.

The architect of the turnaround is undoubtedly Sir Alex Ferguson, plotting Chelsea’s unimaginable downfall when none believed he had the stomach for it. The genius of Ronaldo, the guile of Giggs and Scholes, the passion of Rooney, the power of Ferdinand and Vidic, and every player who wore the red shirt with pride. They’ve shown what they’re made, and what Manchester United are all about.

Nick Hornby wrote in Fever Pitch –
I fell in love with football as I was later to fall in love with women : suddenly, inexplicably, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain or disruption it would bring with it.

Its been paining for four long years. Today I feel like going out onto the street and breaking into a long, rambling song.
