Sad... but PROUD.

FA CUP FINAL 2005

Man Utd 0-0p Arsenal (a.e.t.)



Haiz... what a way to end the season.... in a way, this last match encapsulated much of United's season.... playing well and creating chances but never managing to score the killer goal. This is the first time i've seen such a one-sided FA Cup final and i was glad that it was Arsenal that we were playing off the park (not kicking and muscling as Wenger would have you believe)....

However, as fate would have it, the better team lost on the day. I'm not saying Arsenal don't deserve it, as they have done very well to make it to the final and all their players scored excellent penalties, but United really deserved so much more for the way they dominated almost 120 minutes of the game.

This is a reminder to us... and me especially, that things may not always go as it seems, no matter how much it seems like it will, and we must always prepare for the unexpected no matter what. As the unexpected did happen today, considering we just saw United's best performance of the season, i hope that this will be a wake up call to all of the players and everyone else connected to the Club (even Glazer).... that next season we must never take things for granted and we will show everyone what we can, and WILL do in the coming year.

At the moment though, i am very, very proud of the whole United team and to Fergie in particular. You guys put in a great performance which i will never forget (even if it's mainly coz of the result) and i know i'll see even more of the same next season. Be prepared.



PS. Oh yes, on a side note, those of you who were catching Channel 8 and Channel U would have seen my live interview. In CHINESE. Talk about unexpected....
