A day to cherish... Manchester United winning the English Premier League for the 3rd time in a row...!! N 18th overall to equal Liverpool's longstanding record...
Well, it was just a formality with a point securing it...
My heart really fills with great pleasure to see this trophy back at Old Trafford...
All credit to the players n their hunger for winning n coming back from difficult situations to turn matches around.. Be it the Tevez goal after the two defeats which gave a welcome win, or be it the Macheda goal which set ManU on the path to this victory.. It has been a great team effort..
This season too, has seen its up and downs... The clean sheet run of Van Der Sar was a lovely record.. A feat that couldn't have been achieved without mainly, Ferdinand and Vidic who have been rock solid in defense this year.. It has been a strong defensive display this year by us, and 22 clean sheets at the end of the season says it all...
N some real great goals too, thanks to Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo n Berbatov..
Also, having 4 in the 5 nominees of PFA awards isnt no small feat either..
N Giggsy bagging that one was real satisfying... That man truly deserves it! What a player we have seen.. From a youngster who used to make those unstoppable runs into the box in the 90's era, to a captain n a true loyal ManU player who makes an impact every time he is on the field, there has been a real transition.. But his passion for football, for goals, for victories n for ManUtd still remains the same... He is a real inspiration...
Well for the lows, were the defeats that we faced, running into the 2nd half of the season.. To Liverpool and to Fulham... when questions were raised about whether we would be able to sustain the form... N the injuries to one and all, Rooney, Ferdinand, Vidic didn't help either... Those were real tough times..
But we rose, as champions do.. As teams are made of champions stuff do... Fight it out...
Get the game to the opponents.. Get them in their face, n play attacking football...
I really saw considerable change in the play strategy in the late stages games... N the results are showing...
Losing the FA Cup semifinal on penalties was a bit of a heart break... It was a gamble to play a young and relatively inexperienced team, which unfortunately didn't work out.. The 'quintuple' dream that we were chasing was not to be... That would have been real magical..
But then, that's the only trophy not in the pockets..
Its the Club World Cup, the Carling Cup and the EPL today...
N i hope, the Champions League title will be shortly ours too.. It will be... Coz its meant to be..
And behind everything of this, every award, every trophy, every comeback and the passion within every team member and every ManU fan lies a man...
He is the mastermind.. A person whom I highly regard..
Sir Alex Fergusson..
This man has vision.. He has footballing brains, which any manager would crave for..
He has developed this team.. spotting the raw talent amongst youngsters n picking them up n grooming them for the big stage... It was him who spotted Ronaldo.. N now, the current fresh crop of players coming up present a pool of excellent talent amongst them... Macheda, Rafael, Welbeck, Evans... all are exciting to watch...
N see the hunger of this man, when asked today in the post match Q&A, he said that he is looking forward to the 19th title... Well, hats off Fergie.. We love u...
Well, to sign off, i would like to say that...
Until 1878, there were 7 miracles. but then a club was formed ... they called it the 8th miracle ... we call it .. MANCHESTER UNITED !!!
GLORY MANCHESTER UNITED!!!
