The Beautiful Game

I was in class 8 when I saw my first football match on TV. Everton vs Charlton. Everton thrashed their opponents 4 0 and in doing so, they earned themselves a young curious fan. First love indeed!!! Since then, I have watched almost all the EPL matches. I started having futball discussions at school and soon realised that I had to choose a better team than Everton to have my say. And I chose MANCHESTER UNITED. I will be lying if I say that I became a RED DEVIL because I liked their style of play or their temperament or the players. The truth was that it was the only team people talked about. So I started following man utd with keen interest. To my astonishment, soon a phase came when, every time the reds lost, I used to feel devastated. Whenever they won, I used to be on cloud nine. The scholes, the giggs , the beckhams, the nistelrooys were now heroes for me. All i wanted was to see them win.
Its a fact that successful people are always envied upon. Same was true in case of MAN UTD. I realized this very early that most people didnt like UTD. They were mostly Scousers (Looserfool fans) or Gunners (Arse-anal fans). Being a true fan, I just would not hear anything against them and therefore always found myself in heated discussions which more often than not turned into quarrels and fights. I being on the "getting beaten" side always. The INVINCIBLE season of arsenal dint help a lot to my cause. Add to that the departure of several key players.
In the coming months, Arsenal started loosing their flare. But unfortunately my obvious happiness was short-lived. A new team showed up. Chelsea. The blues. 2 seasons nothing went our way. Bad in league, poor in CL. However, as i always say. HAIL Sir Alex Ferguson. The man never backs down of any challenge and he dint. It took him 2 years to build a strong team. Rooneys, ronaldos came in. Everything started coming our way. 3 Titles , a CL trophy, FA, CArling... Heights of awesomeness.
This success again led to the same cliched response fron general public. Anti man utd lot. They would even support pathetic teams like manchester city just to see us loose.
Last night we conceded our title to chelsea and it was heartbreaking. People messaged me, commented on my posts, sent chats. Desperate wannabes. They will get their replies soon coz in case of man utd, we let our goals do the talking. NOT ARROGANT JUST BETTER. Glory glory man utd.
