3-0 to the champions!

headed down to the manchester united cafe bar yesterday.
its at 32boat quay.near to the OCBC n UOB building.
hoping to get a nice seat, i reached there ard 10pm-ish.


when i reached there, the manager told me tat the tables were all booked.
3days before the match itself O_O
so i stood ard from 10-12 waiting for the match to start.lol.
well i walked ard abit in the shop itself too.
i would say tat the ambience is pretty o-kay.
a part of the wall dedicated to the "7 Heaven"
george best, cantona, beckham and ronaldo.


beside the large projector screen was this mural wall
on the mural wall was the the 07/08 champions league final in moscow,
the famous 6-5 penalty win.
it captured the moment when the players started running towards van der saar
after he saved the spotkick by anelka.
1st impression:goosebumps.
memories of that rainy night in moscow rushed through my mind,
one of the most intense and unforgettable match i've ever watched.

so anyways, i waited all the way from 10+ to 12am there.
soon alot of ppl started flowing in to the cafe,
all dressed in their jerseys and some man utd shirts.
theres a couple of manutdsg guys sitting near the screen and they started talking to me.
they are really nice and friendly.
i guess everyone there are friendly (not to the blues n the scousers i guess!hahaha!)
all of them were at least 25 or so luh!
i was like one of the youngest there.

well by kick off, we kinda had short convos here n there.
so we kinda "know" each other.
they started cheering and all.
they were really high la!
but u know, im always shy when it comes to strangers.
lol obviously i kept quiet for awhile luh!
smmore i duno a couple of cheers they did.
but i kinda opened up after tat n started cheering with them.

thats when the fun began!
i started singing and cheering, clapping and booing.

"stamford bridge is falling down, fuck off chelsea"
"wayne rooney, wayne rooney, he goes by the name of wayne rooney."
and a couple of other cheers.
oh!
the one i like most!
"viva john terry, viva john terry!could have won a cup, but he fucked it up!viva john terry!"
the singings cheerings, clappings booings was wat we did for a couple of 45 mins.

until ronaldo headed in the corner from giggs, which howard webb decided to ask giggs to retake.
we were all celebrating n high fiving n jumping all over the place.
the cheerings soon converted to swearings for the refree.
but before we could even settle down, vidic heads home from the corner again!
1-0!
tats definitely a good scoreline right before the end of 1st half.
we all ran all over the place, from inside the cafe to the pavement outside,
cheering and singing
"Nemanja whoa,
Nemanja whoa,
He come's from Serbia,
He'll fucking murder ye..."
and glory glory man united.
dancing all over the place until the start of 2nd half.
right before the start, i bit my tongue.
maybe its just karma for cursing the blues too much eh?LOL

haha, so 2nd half kicked off.
the
"Who are ya,
Who are ya,
Who are ya,
Who are ya,
Who are ya..."
started as we all pointed to JT and didier for the lousy play!
then, in the 63rd minute,
the cafe bar roared once again when rooney placed his boot inbetween a.cole
and tapped in the ball in the six yard box, from a evra cross.
2-0!
"two nil~ for the champ-pions!
two-nil~ for the champ-pions,
two-nil- for the champ-pions!
two-nil for the champions!"

then there was the rooney cheer too!
a couple of "rooney"s in the bar including me went high!
woo!
it was a sure win for united but we wanted more!
"3-0, 3-0, 3-0 3-0..."
we went.
and there it was!
berbatov answered our call!
scoring on the 87th minute.
a cleverly worked out "assist" from vidic.
vidic blocked off the defenders for berbatov who ran forward to tap in ronaldo's freekick.
what more can u ask for!?
3-0 the greatest win for united since 15years ago against chelsea.

eat that fucking shit, benitez.
lol stop playing ur stupid dumbfuck mind games on us.
it wont work.
it will only make us stronger (:

"United (claps),
United (claps),
United (claps)!"

"Take me home,
United road,
To a place that I belong,
To Old Trafford,
to see United,
Take me home,
United road"

celebrations after the match.
dancing, cheering, handshakes n hugs.
some photos from the reporters.
a group photo with the manager infront of the shop.
hopefully you will see me on newspaper soon eh?LOL

this marks the start of our title race.
watch out scousers, we will come chasing from behind (:
just watch out, now tat chelsea are rather out of the race,
if we continue with this form,
we will even win the quadrup this year (:

anyways,
