"..vague chants and cheers......AND IT'S IN!!!!-Commentator"
"What are you watching chetta?(older brother in native Malayalam)" I asked drowsily.
"YES!!!!! Wooooohoooo! It's a goal!!!!...erhmm.. nothing.. just go back to sleep"
The following morning:
"....probably yeah. But there's no way they'd lose against Blackburn"
Later on in the evening of one Saturday:
"Can I watch the game with you this time chetta"
"Sure"
"Who are we rooting for"
"The team in Red, with 'Vodafone' across their shirts"
"Okay"
"They're Manchester United"
2011:
We are the champions of the league for a record breaking 19th time.
Liverpool, give us the perch lads. We are the benchmark for you know.
After watching a very moving video from MUTV, I've rediscovered the greatness, the tragedies, the ecstatic moments, the controversies, the rage, the despair, the excitement and the eternal love I have for Man United.
And so this post, ahead of the Champions League final in Wembley against Barcelona tomorrow 28th of May 2011, wishing the players and the staff the best of luck. You are in are minds and in our hearts.
Glory to United!
Finally the motivation behind this post:
"The Old Man always told us that football is more than a game. It has the power to bring happiness to ordinary people"
