Crushed!!!

Painfully, its the end of an era for me .........

I watched in agony as Paul Scholes ran up to the penalty spot to take Man Utd's second penalty kick....my greatest fears were realised when he put such a tame and badly placed shot with just the ideal height any goal keeper could dream of from someone of such class quality like himself. Thank God, England isn't going to be using his services anymore!!

U know how for some people, a fantastic day can just turn so badly wrong because of a certain comment by their bosses - well, for me that was the exact same feeling I had when the game ended with goal-less. I knew in my heart that Man Utd had just given away the entire cup tie to Arsenal. But of course, that glimmer of hope was still present that Caroll will surprise me with something spectacular even though the possibility of that was so BEYOND him. Ah well...I'll stick to my first insticts and my heart's voice which is never wrong especially about football or tennis!! Man, I should be a self employed bookie - could have definitely made my first million!

Jon, my cousin and fellow soldier in the faith - first thing he said to me when I rang him ( mind you, he is in KL) wasn't Hello.....It was Arsenal is the best and well, he's not the only one....a string of SMS from my sis to my fellow leaders and MSN messages buzzing like crazy just to rub it in has taught me that people out there actually CARE so much about me - enough to think about me when Man Utd loses!! Such great friends I have right?

Argh...I need to go treat myself to something now that will cheer me up. And no Silas, no amount of Ben & Jerry's ice cream will do. I need something more....something more....what is it??

Oh well...I hope the rest of you are having a better weekend :)
