“Superman don't need no seat belt.”- Muhammad Ali

It Wasn’t Your Fault Chelsea Lost, Terry

Makelele

Please don’t rub your victory on my face :cry: :roll:

It was the closure of Champions League between 2 English giants, Chelsea vs Man Utd. I watched it with David at Steven’s Corner. 65% were Man Utd fans, 30% anti-Man Utd and 5% Chelsea. I’m pretty sure we’d be beaten to pulp if Chelsea won.

Man Utd was obviously the better team in the first half. Ronaldo unmarked, Hargreaves playing loosely, Schole’s lateral passing and tight ass Vidic, spoiled Chelsea’s routine. Unfortunately for them, Lampard proves Chelsea are no pushovers. 1-1, the half ended.

I was pretty much at the edge of my seat in the second half. Chelsea bombarded Man Utd heavily but failed to convert opportunities laid for them. It was upsetting, intense and provoking. For once, I saw the three-man partnership took place, Makelele-Ballack-Lampard.

The match dragged to extra-time then to penalty shootout. I hate penalty. It’s like watching a horror movie, creepy background music and the anticipation for the ghost to splat all over the screen. But somehow, I managed to fix my eyeballs on the screen.

Man Utd won, they deserved it, hands down.

I despise Mourinho’s style. Avram’s strategy today, captivated me. It was filled with creative plays, quick passes, through balls and effortless team work. That’s my definition of football. And all that is left for Chelsea is to polish their finishing, and they’d be unstoppable.

All in all, Makelele was the best player on the pitch for me. Without his quick close-down and his I’ll-watch-your-back plays, Chelsea wouldn’t have danced like they did. It was a beautiful final. Worth my insomnian night :grin:

Till then, see you next year, without Christiano Ronaldo :arrow:

ps: Man Utd fans, watch your words :!:

High-five catzer :grin: I’m not a football fan but I know there’s always this passion and meaning behind each sport, heheh. I’m not a very competitive person, so if I were the one who invented football, each 22 players can have their own balls, and there’ll be 22 goal posts! LOL just kidding.

I do watch football games though, because I admire those who train hours and hours to play beautifully.

p/s: I love bicycle kicks! They’re awesome. Just be sure you don’t fall on your back :eek:

I’m no fan of football but I didn’t sleep nevertheless. No thanks to Dad’s shouting and screaming and what nots for The Devils. :mad: I sat with him in front of the TV lagi. When the match ended, he said “You’re here? Kenapa tak tido?” :!: Apparently, MU is more important than me :oops:

Ronaldo was good, but the man who marked him was at his best, Essien.

Hahaha! Ehem, judging from ManYoo forms especially to the end season of EPL, nothing too impressive yeah? They had such a big lead in term of points at one point, squandered it, cost them the need to wait till the last game to decide it. :

Champions League, what can I say? Lucky?

Lady Luck sure shining on ManYoo this year. Must congrats ManYoo for that. :up:

Anyway, as usual winners are allowed to say what they want hehehe.. History is written by the victors. :arrow:

i agreed with the fath….chelsea was unlucky. Chelsea’s ball hit the once crossbar and again at the pole. And JT slip at the end. Its was exciting game to watch but the BetteR team lost.

Next match, v could invite abang bulu to join in as well.

definitely need to bring ‘abg bulu’ so he can speculate. (Add the anti MU). Abg bulu is an Arsenal fan (London). So London based team should support one another :grin: :grin:
