It started on a high. Flattened. Sunk. Then soared.It was just what you'd expect from a United/Chelski clash. But this time the Gods showed United mercy. In all fairness Chelsea played a hard fought match, dominating the second half with as many shots on goal as to the body. Cards flew like confetti.
There was kicking, spitting, head butts, bitchery, and finally face slapping. It was Dynasty in cleats.
Both teams were spent, as were both sets of supporters, before the unthinkable but completely believable happened a: penalty shootout in a deluge.
The match within the match took everyone for a ride (inducing mass motion sickness). Ronaldo was the first to blame. Then Terry. Then Anelka. Then back to Terry. Then all of London. And ultimately Jose Mourinho. Just because it feels so good.
In the end the Reds won fair and square. Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Edwin
van der Sar's penalty shoot-out heroics as "no accident" after the Manchester United goalkeeper clinched the Champions League trophy with his stop from Chelsea's Nicolas Anelka.
All in all, not a bad season.
