10 Mins is all it took

Even a session in bed takes 11 minutes according to the author PAulo Coelho.
In Stadio Olimpico, the clash of titans, the Premier League Champs Manchester United were gunning for glory, pursuing a second successive European Tittle, something that no team had achieved. Against them stood a massive mountain, which all the now-calling-for-manutd-heads commentator had dismissed.


The first 10 minutes of the match were the only time when ManUtd were on the pitch contending for the match. After Samuel Etos goal, it became a nightmare for a Manutd fan. Our hopes were slowly buried pass by pass by the midfielders Xavi and Iniesta. Anderson, it seemed was throwing in a cage of hungry tigers and was running helter skelter, so over awed by the situation that he seemed completely misplaced. Even our regular Energizer Bunny on viagra, the THREE LUNGS PARK, (J.S. Park) seemed lost in the maze created by the Barcelona players.
We can always say that it was just not our day, but i guess we need to realize that we missed a ROY Keane on the pitch. We were outplayed, shaken and stirred (not what 007 had ordered) by a team that was supposed to have defenders on crutches.

Well i ll still be waiting, next year, as calm and relaxed, as a dog on a bench in a park, chasing a silver foil in the wind, which BARCA this year stole from us.

Even though we have the HATTRICK of English Crowns to feel happy about and three other trophies.. the Champions Of the WORLD, the Community Shield and the Carling CUP, we are cribbing about the UCL loss. I guess being a MAN UTD supporter it spoils us that even 4 trophies cannot satisfy us, and we look for something more than just 11 minutes....
Till then ..
