As the reds go marching up up up!

Image

Yeah, I know nobody gives a crap about the beautiful game (soccer) in America, and Anferny only likes the 'talians, but I feel obligated to congratulate my beloved Red Devils (Manchester United). They won their ninth premiership title in fifteen years, and second consecutive. And no, I'm not a bandwagoneer; I've been a Man U fan since Eric Cantona (or the greatest soccer player in the history of the world/second best athlete ever, after John Elway/wearer of the divine number 7/the only person who could make popping your collar cool) signed about sixteen years ago. Somehow, the reds were able to overcome Chelsea and Roman Abramovich's grotesque checkbook on the final day of the season (today, or Sunday, stupid clock).

I also feel like I should congratulate Ronnie (Christiano Ronaldo) on getting the FA Footballer of the Year award (and soon to be FIFA World Player of the Year Award (fingers-crossed)). I'd also like to congratulate Ronnie for receiving the FA Premier League Most Metrosexual Player of the Year Award (I have no idea what that stuff on his head is. It must be some European thing.)

Anyways, go reds in the Champions League final on May 21!
