Manchester United..Champions Forever..

People often ask me..."Manchester United??why??"

"because they win trophies?", "because they have star players??", "because Beckham use to play for them??!!"'

well before I answer, just gonna give a review of how it all started:
Yes..I don't deny that I started supporting Man Utd because they were successful,

Ryan Giggs keeps the Treble dream alive with the goal of the century

who can forget Solskjaer at Nou camp? 20 LEGEND!!



The TREBLE 1999!!!

winning seem to come so naturally after that,

Man United Premier League Champions again!!

and again!!

Man Utd = Success

Remember the comeback from 0-3 down at White Hart Lane??

but then again, all great eras end.

when winning becomes a habit and taken for granted.

The FA cup win masking the hard years ahead.

Manchester United were dethroned as Champions of England after 3 years of domination, people were suggesting the downfall of a great club, players being complacent.

Thats what happens when you fall from the summit, u don't drop gradually, you free fall, taking on countless criticisms along the way.

the end? the lost to Porto sure suggested it..

results on the pitch weren't going our way, and as a Man Utd fan you can just sense that the invinsibility aura we once had fade away.

"lost to Arsenal...",

"Man Utd knocked out at group stage of Champions League.."

"Chelsea the new powerhouse in English football....",

great players came and left without great success..

Man United in crisis??!!!
OR

in TRANSITION!!

after three long years, the Carling Cup win signalling the start of a new era!!

Yes we finally got our trophy back!!Premier League Champions!!

07-08 Champions again!!first part of a magnificent season!!


Difference between champions and runner up = width of a goal post.

the save that cemented VDS place in history.

on top of Europe once again!!

European Champions 2008!!

and NO we didn't stop there..

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!

and Man United's youth focused policy beared fruit as well.

Champions of now and the future

Man United record equalling 18th Premier League title!!

THE END OF A TEAM?? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

this year we had the chance to make history,

the First team to Retain the European crown!!

Man United on the stage of history in Rome..

well we didn't make it..0-2 to a better team..

yes we didn't managed to put a new page on Man united's history, but you already are a legacy!!

Carling Cup winners, World Champions, Premier League Champions....few could have had a better season...so hold your heads up high and let the celebration begin!!

So back to the question, why Manchester United?

sure they do win alot of trophies, sure they have star players.

But Manchester United is more than that,

to truimph in seemingly impossible conditions,

the positive alttitude of the players and coaches,

and Above all...

THE NEVER SAY DIE SPIRIT OF MANCHESTER UNITED!!

I'm definitely fortunate to be supporting such a great club of Manchester United,

and this exchange blessed me with a chance to see my team in action!!

the lost to Barcelona will definitely once again bring the world against you,

but Keep on FIGHTING UNITED!!

glory glory Man United, and the RED's go MATCHING ON and ON and ON!!!!

Exams exams exams...
