Football - Breath of my Life II

And from there, it's been some journey.. By 2003, after following United and football for 3 yrs, i felt no one had more knowledge about United than me.. As my horizon widened, i was shell shocked.. People know way more than me.. Much more..

The history, Managers, the BUSBY BABES and much more.. By 2005 or so, finally i found a friend who followed Football and BPL to some extent.. And fortunately, he was an United fan.. Knew as much as me only though.. So i searched and searched all over, learnt United's history fully.. And realized the greatness of this club..

2005 Champions League was something i love talkin about.. Even though United din't make headlines, it was Liverpool who did it..

"With his gifted right foot, Steven Gerrard says- Champions League knock out stages, here we COME.." - Tyler.. ( I MUG COMMENTARY incidentally)..

It turned out to be Liverpool's year.. The Finals.. Oh my god.. Jaw Dropping entertainment.. And the followin season too, FA Cup finals, West Ham United, 94th minute, yet again Stevie G makes it a draw and Pool win in Penalties..

Why am i talkin about pool here ? Knowin that they are my rivals ?

Well true.. But time has coagulated on me.. The fanatasism with United is at the peak with me.. I would die for United.. But now, i find a way to enjoy each and every match.. Watford, Leeds anything.. U say they're playin football, am in watching..

And the last two yrs, i have been praying for United.. And shed a tear or two when we won the UCL.. Hats off United, Saf and all its players and supporting staff..

If not for this wonderful United team, i would nowhere been followin this wonderful game.. SO THANKS A TON UNITED..

Last but not the least, CHELSEA, ARSENAL, POOL ARE SHITE.. I've Followed United since i was a kid.. (THE FANATASISM CONTINUES.. GO UNITED..~!!! )

Football - Breath of my Life II

Football - Breath of my life..

Well, it's been long since i wrote a post.. And just going through my blogs, i realized that i hadn't written about the Footy i watch week in and week out..

The Barclays Premier League !

Seriously.. Even playing with my friends can't reach the excitement and the intensity with which i watch the EPL..(Or lately, BPL)

Datin back to 2000, Me born in India was introduced to cricket first as usual.. And none in my family liked Football too.. So it was just an accident.. During the summer days, when i used to stay home with nothin other than T.V for company, i lied down and switched on EPL.. Worse for me, Football was going on.. And i clearly remember it was Man United vs Southampton.. Haha..

And so i saw this team in Red leadin 2-0 with 50 mins gone.. I was clueless.. I thought the ref was mad in blowin the whistle every other minute or so.. And finally the match got over, and the coverage continued..

And over week, i started following the football played by Man United.. So people, i have to confess somewhere or the other.. I accept I became an United fan by accident..(accidents are good).. And from there its been an amazing journey from me.. Followed football every year henceforth.. Maybe not with the intensity with which i watched cricket and Sachin then..

Then in 2002, St.James' Park, United vs Newcastle was scheduled to take place.. And i as usual being an United "FAN" then, switched on to watch the match.. We were down within 10mins.. I remember Tyler shoutin out- " Jenas by name, Genius by Nature", i felt WHATS GOING ON ? Lol..

Then came Paul Scholes.. Blasted home 3 goals.. Ripped the ball.. And we won the match 6-2.. Boy.. This match is what turned me from an United Fan to A Fanatic henceforth..

And from there its been United all the way.. And i have never in my life uttered a thing wrong about this CLUB..
