I hate to say it but… well done United!
I have spent years hating Manchester United, but tonight I was cheering them on in what I think was the most exciting match I have ever seen, as a relative neutral, considering what was at stake. I must confess to having a big smile on my face when that big girl’s blouse Nicolas Anelka inevitably missed to cost Chelsea what would have been an undeserved victory. I am a strong believer that the Champions League must mean exactly that - contested by CHAMPIONS! Anyway never mind politics for once, United deserved their win and, barring Ronaldo’s showboating miss, held their nerve when it mattered.
Of course the real big match this week takes place at Wembley on Sunday, when Leeds United begin their ascent back to the Premiership - where they belong!
See you soon…
