but you know what...I really thought that no other team can beat United and I really thought that they are unstoppable and I'm glad that they aren't. I'm really glad.
I like this part: Most supporters of most clubs have to dream of winning just one major trophy in their whole lives, if ever, yet still their support remains unconditional. I love fans like
that,
to me they are the essence of what football is all about, loyalty, communal solidarity, good humour in the face of the everlasting disappointments. People like that could well look at me
and
think, ‘how can he complain when his team wins so much and buys all the best players?’ In fact I’d have every sympathy for that point of view. Supporters like me have been spoiled by the
privilege of seeing some of the greatest players of all time in teams that have won the lot. I know precisely how lucky I am, and that’s because I also know what it feels like to face
defeat,
despondency and disappointment, first in 1958, most recently in May 2009.
There’s always going to be another mountain, we're always going to want to make it move. There's always going to be an uphill battle, sometimes we're going to have to lose. Ain’t about how
fast
we get there, ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side. It’s the climb. We got to keep our heads held high because we are United!
"..the way you lost the final...it was humiliating.." - Hahahaha. We decided to have an off-day on the most important night. :P I can take the loss but not the bad performance/game. Be that as
it
may - win, lose or draw - I am a United supporter for life.
and one more thing...when Arsenal played Barcelona in that dramatic final in 2006...we were beaten but not humiliated...we overplayed them with 10 players on the field and at the end of the
game
I cried and it was painful but I was PROUD TO BE A GOONER!
well you know what Norule...yes you've had fantastic season...for sure better than Arsenal's but it's not about that...it's about the way you lost the final...you know...it was humiliating...
Besides, why should I be sad? United played 66 games, more than other football teams. We won three cups plus the Charity Shield and got medals for Super Cup and CL. We had a hectic but
fantastic
season. Only the ending was not so perfect. Haha.
