Manchester United has done the EPL and Champions league double and it was a superb season for us and yes I do say us for I have not cared about any other club in football and have stuck with United for the last 7 seasons, ever since I started watching football. A club with a proud history, a dazzling present and a promising future, Utd has been the team to beat for the last decade and half. Teams have tried and succeeded sometimes but we have prevailed. Its not just about winning, but the style of winning is what matters and Utd have played some of the best football in all of Europe and so were crowned Champions of England and Europe. There should be no doubt about the strength of the team and quality of its players, but there are many who just would not acknowledge we are the best. Some support other clubs and I respect that, but there who belong to a club called ABU or 'Anyone But United' and also those who support the team only when it wins and supports another team when that team wins. This is plain treachery and I say Utd does not need any such supporters and do not give a damn about the ABUs, for we require nobody's acknowledgement. Only true fans deserve to celebrate with Manchester United in this moment of glory as victory is gained only by those who stick with us through thick and thin.
There are a few who simply make fun of us fans when Utd loose a match but when we win and that too in style, they say that it was just a fluke or we got lucky or the opposition was very weak. I would tell them that you make your own luck and everyone plays against each other in EPL, and in the Champions League, only the best in Europe play and there are no weak teams there! For those who stay that we purchase the best players, most of them support Chelsea or Real Madrid who have very little home grown talent. Utd has brought up many players from school boy levels (Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, Nevilles to name a few) or discovered those young players who have potential and gave them an oppurtunity to develop as great players. Christiano Ronaldo was just a name when he joined Manchester United for the 2003-2004 season and my friend says that Utd spotted Ronaldo while has playing in Euro-04, but he refuses to admit that he had already played a season at the Theatre of Dreams before he played in his first Euro tournament! This is just an example of those who try and make themselves believe that Utd is not a good team. Well my friend, I dont care and frankly, the worlds most popular football club does not care either!
It was a great performance by everyone which enabled us to win the EPL and the UCL with some stunning goals, a rock solid defence and great creative work and the goalkeepers standing tall to the very end. The UCL final was one of the best matches I have ever seen with the two teams matching each other for every tackle, some bitter and some sweet moments and ultimately, it was too close to call and was decided through penalties. Unlike previous finals which had to be decided through penalties as both teams were suffocating each other, this one was an edge of the seat thriller and the Red Devils prevailed! So all you Red Devil fans out there, continue keeping your heads above the rest!!
PS-For ABUs-Get lost
For supporters of other teams-Tough luck mate....and may you never have any chance of winning against Utd!! :P!!
