...but we're off to Moscow!!!!
Well, not me, personally, of course. But Bring on the Scousers, make it an all-Lancashire Final! Although it would have seemed more European if it was Barcelona.
It was a surprisingly entertaining match, until the final fifteen twenty one minutes when my pulse was racing and I was trembling. Was trembling...? Still am!
And who came good when it mattered, Scholesy. He's got "Manchester" on his birth certificate running through him like "Blackpool" in Blackpool Rock. And what a goal! Charltonesque!
I vowed that if United won this match,I would buy a shirt. I think I will have "68" on the back (copying my nephew who has a shirt with a shortened form of his surname and "95" on the back, which is well cool).
I am second in my family. I was born in 68; Manchester United won the European Cup in 68. My niece is second in her family. She was born in 99. United won the European Cup in 99. My new niece- or nephew-to-be will be second in her/his family. S/he will be born in 08. Manchester United will be in the European Cup Final in 08.
