Hail the Red Devils!!!

Manchester United 7 - 1 AS Roma

Glory glory Man United... The scoreline was unbelievable as Man Utd bounced back strongly after 2 consecutive defeats! even though they have a long injury list and with fringe players like Fletcher and Smith starting the game, they fired all cylinders to clinch a spot in the Champions League Semi Finals.

Carrick finally justified his 18.6 million pound price tag with 2 beautiful long range efforts. Smith's stunning strike also showed that he is back to his old self after being struck with career threatening injuries. even Evra put his name on the scoresheet having just return from an injury lay off. the sizzling performance demonstrated by United's attacking trio of Ronaldo, Rooney & Giggs ripped the Roma's defense apart.

recalling how Totti taunted Ferguson to remember his name in a press conference just before the first leg, i hope to see his expressions after the final whistle of yesterday's match. serve him right, and i hope he DOES remember all the United players who has played a part in the classic match!

i missed yesterday's match due to loads of assignments and my thesis. thanks to my friend, Sam, who messaged me the good news right after the game ended. it really did light up my day after going through a stressful night dealing with all those paperwork and testing!

with MU & Chelsea through and Liverpool leading 3-0 from the first leg, the prospect of having 3 English teams in the Champions League semi final is really high. this should be a proud season for English football since they overpowered the clubs fron Spain & Italy!

the big win against Roma should inspire me to work hard against all obstacles. you may be down now, but you can always bounce back higher! Hail the Red Devils!!!
