I’ve finally begun to come down off my high from Wednesday. Even yesterday afternoon while sitting at my desk I couldn’t help but hum “Glory Glory Man United.”

But really, what better a day to draw out as long as possible?

The United game, for all the joy it brought, was admittedly a crap game. The first half should’ve seen United up 3-0 and they second half should’ve seen Chelsea score at least two. To those who say that Chelsea deserved to win, I say that in a perfect world where all good attempts on goal are rewarded and no goals are got cheaply, Chelsea was looking at a 3-2 defeat. Going into extra time at 1-1 was, unfortunately, as good as either side deserved on their 90 minute performances.

On the two periods of added time, I would have said skip them because neither side was going to really go all out on the attack, but if we had skipped them I would’ve missed out on the delight of seeing that petulant-man-child Drogba get sent off. What a joke, see you in Italy.

On the penalty-kicks, I can’t say much as I was hiding behind my hands for most of them while waiting for the reaction of the crowd. Ronaldo I did watch, however, assuming it would be safe. Instead it was over-thought and under-taken. It was a poor and even illegal attempt. Terry’s miss, I couldn’t watch, but I almost had a heart attack when I heard the screams.
Not the worst guy ever and probably deserved better. But thems the breaks, and fate had its mind set on a United victory.

I haven’t felt that way over a win in a long time (I’m thinking 2002 Men’s Hockey Gold medal game.) It wasn’t necessarily the ideal win, but it was a fitting win. On the season and the tournament, United deserved their Premiership Crown and European Championship. Congrats to the gents that make getting up on a weekend morning a little easier.

Oh, and Calderon needs to back off Ronaldo. Great quote by Ferguson:

“Real Madrid are not the only club interested in Ronaldo. But the others are not saying so. They don’t get into this nonsense.

Calderon makes that great statement ’slavery was abolished many years ago’.

Did they tell General Franco that? Give me a break.

The simple fact is Cristiano has another four years left on his contract.

Amazing season – now back to Toronto FC…..
