VIEW: United vs Blackburn (a). 1-1













Good.





Champions. For the 19th time, United are crowned champions of England. Officially the most successful side in England, we stand alone on our perch.





Bottle. A point I touched upon after the Chelsea game - the game that effectively won us the league and a performance built on balls of steel - but Wazza's ability to hold his nerve the way he did after stepping up to take that penalty was incredible. With the pressure an responsibility of earning the point that would reclaim the title, he stepped forward as the bravest man on the pitch and completely f**ked that ball up until it landed into that impossible region of hapless Robinson's goal. We just about deserved the point (although, performance wise, we were an embarrassing comparison to the side that turned out against Chelsea a week earlier). But in the greater scheme of things, it was a grafter result, the same way we grafted and thoroughly earnt this title. Number 19 wasn't the most glamorous, nor the most accomplished (no matter what the result against Blackpool on the final, this is our lowest points total of any title winning season). But it was ours and, after the heroics against Chelsea in the unofficial title decider, it was calling. And there was nothing - not even the shittest goalkeeping performance of the season by Kuszczak - going to stand in the way of that.





Controversy. Well, it's just a standard part of any United season really, isn't it? Something you feel our campaign can't live without. So even though Robinson 100% brought Hernandez down in the box, even though Robinson made an awful, foolish decision coming out to try and meet the ball considering Chico was so far away from goal, and even though their opener, let's remember, went completely out of play before Olsen crossed it back in to Emerton...the nationals on the day they should have heralded number 19 instead honed in the point that we relied on a 'controversial goal' to win the title. F**king brilliant.





Kit-Kat. Ta'ra pal. For another club in another league, it could have worked. But not at United and not when your behind Van der Sar in the pecking order - as you nicely reminded us on Saturday.










Bad.


Are you dumb? What was my first point above??











Congratulations United.
