[For you, Smudge...]
Manchester United beat Wigan 4-0 about 20 minutes ago to win the Carling Cup in a game which they mostly dominated. Credit to Wigan for getting this far. As far as I'm concerned, they're already heros.
It was a nice touch at the end when everyone put on a shirt that said "For you, Smudge". Smudge is Alan Smith's nickname.
While I'm glad United won the Cup, it was a bittersweet moment. Take Wigan...Reaching the finals of the Carling Cup was a major achievement in itself for them. After enjoying a fairytale start to the season, they've fallen 9th in the league table (as of right now). United, on the other hand, have repeatedly "thrown" away the chance to win the Carling Cup on several occasions. Now it was all they were fighting for.Wigan: Major accomplishment, even though they lost. Man United: Because there's nothing else. The ball is round...May United's time come again.
I couldn't end this entry without saying how sorry I felt for Michael Pollitt. At his age, this was probably one of his last chances to take part in the finals of a major tournament. He lasted all of 3-minutes before sustaining an injury and was substituted in the 14th minute.
That's it for me tonight. I have a mid-term today (it's after midnight), and I only started studying yesterday. No, it's not because I was bumming around. I just have an insane workload this semester. Say a little prayer for me. Yeah, the countdown's over, semester has restarted. I can't think of anything else to countdown to at the moment, so the ticker shall stay as it is.
