Champions League Finals, 07/08

There's only one United....Man. United !!!
Glory Glory Man. United !!!

The Champions League fever had gripped us tightly right after the second match between Chelsea and ManU in the BPL o7/08. Chelsea Won in Stamford Bridge, 2-1.After 2 weeks Man United were Crowned champions of England,07/08.But we were waiting for another epic encounter restlessly...The Champions League Final...Two of the best English club Man United and Chelsea,fighting for the European glory.
We came up with the plan of organizing the MatchView in the Projector,right on the street of Pulchwok Campus.We made  lotttery ticket for the 90 minutes score prediction.The winner gets the Jerssey of his/her fav. Club.The tickets sold out like a hot cake,never knew there were so many of football fans in the I.O.E.
Finaly,comes the  21st  of  may '08, the much awaited day of all the football lovers,
esp. the Red Devils and Blues fans.We started to work out for the Projectors at early morn 
and finally managed it at around 14:00 hrs,Thanks to the Water Resources Department.One of the important task was completed.The Sound system and other accessories were already
managed the day before.Another problem was about the Screen. After hustling for some time,we found it too,Thanks to the Civil Department.
Now we were all ready,the environment of Pulchwok Campus was already heated with the Discussion and predictions of the match.Liverpool and the Arsenal fans were too on the either of the boats,giving their views. ;-).The debate was heating up intensly everytime and we too had our jobs done and were ready to roll. :p
We started the show at 23:00 hrs and how on earth,the amps didn't work.We had to struggle pretty hard to find out what was the prob,lastly,boom and the magic is done.Santosh(coincidently Electrical Engineering) does it and he too doesnt know how :-D. Who cares as long as we get the show running flawlessly.
The Environment was damn lively,with all the chants and anthem of Man United and Chelsea hailing in the Air.The match starts and the chant's still alive.There was "Dohori" going on between the both fans.Untill,the 26 minutes.Man Utd took the lead, and it was Ronaldo who got the goal,in the cross of Wes Brown.What more now,all the ManU fans,count me too :-),went out wild,jumping in and out,acting not less than a freak,with much louder voice the anthems were chanted.The Chelsea fans were just antonym of that.
The game was totally in the contorl of ManUnited with the ball possession 65% to 35 %.Unless on the 45 mins,Van der Sar does a mistakes,slips,and gets punished by the Frank Lampard. Man United 1-1 Chelsea,the level equals just before the Half Time.The Chelsea fans on fire,its their time for celebration,whilst the ManU fans remains low,commenting on the Van mistake and the slippery ground.
The second half starts;the environment is silent than before, but the crowd is more lively with more anticipations and predictions.The second half was more on Chelsea side,with Drogba nearly finishing on 77 mins,thanks to the woodwork,there was no change in the score.The 90 mins normal game was wind up and the score was 1-1 draw with game cruising to extra time.In the mean time,the lottery for the Winner of Prediction was conducted.Very few had made the prediction 1-1.
Chandra Pun does the announcement and 2 of the lucky winner(forgot the name) wins the Jerssey.
The extra time was nailbiting one,giggs had almost taken the lead once for for ManU,if only Terry had let him do so.Terry saves the shot with his head out of blue,damn,thats why he's one of the best and high paid defender :p.
Since no result after 120 minutes of play,the game goes to penalty shoot out.There was cold blood runing thru me with nervousness taking over me.The retrospective slide view of the images of the penalty shootout between Argentina and Germany  in FIFA World Cup 06 comes to mind.I had supported argentina and it had lost then.
Tevez takes the first penalty,and hits the ball home.Relief.
Ballack takes the shot from Chelsea,Scres.Boooo...
Carrick takes the Shot,Scores.Relief.
Belleti Takes the Shot,Scores,Boooo...
C.Ronaldo takes the shot,Saved. Nervous Breakdown.. :-(
I just couldnt belive it,numb and speechless.Couldnt think what to do.Lojang kick the screen and the mathview was interrupted for a while.I had no more of courage to see the match further,with the defeat of Argentina haunting over me.I take a quite escape and walk to the Hostel. Furiousness and Angerness fuming from my body,i could break anyone face that moment :@.I lay at my bed thinking of C.Ronaldo role to the Man United.Dissappointed and Low.
Man U...Man U...Man U....i could hear the chants of Red Devils in the cold night again.I was astonished,and happy with a photons of hope popping.I ran to the crowd and asked who won,to my great pleasure i heard,"Manchester...",damn...It was Man U who won the Finals.Terry had missed the shot and our talismanic keeper Van De Sar had saved the shot of Anelka.Man...ManU had wont he Champions league Final,Double for ManU.Moscow was vicorious by Red again,Fergie's Red Army had reign over the blues.I just couldnt belive and i had nervous breakdown again, ;-)
All the chelsea fan were stunned,most of them had already left. The chants of Man United,the voices of Victory,the smile of joy flooded the cold spring nights.Greetings of Victory was shared.
The happiness was much larger than ocean,much wider than the sky, that was the time of my life,one of the moment to be treasured,moment of happiness i would carry along with me forever,till the grave......
p.s:-Thanks Chelsea F.C,for such a wonderfull game.You're are always a tough opponment to beat.One of the best Rivals.Better luck next time.

O' Seasons

"Calm" before the Storm,” Beauty” After the Rain,
Rainbows In the Sky, you’re my Sunshine.
"Rhythm" of the Rainfall,” Lightness” Of snow,
I’ll be Thinking about you, My own Shadow.

Shivering Winter's all Dead,
Spring is in her Mid.
All Is Green; Green Is the Dead Tree,
But Your Mind couldn’t tempt, never Free.

Along With Summer, sure the Memory Refills,
But At the Fall, It Becomes Fragile Leaves,
Smiling at the moon, falls, shatters on the streets,
On the Boulevard, in despair, me and my memories.
