Campeone!

Ah how sweet it is to win the Premiership by beating Man City and to have it presented to us at Stamford Bridge. In yer face, Mourinho.

Sir Alex is right when he comments that winning the Premiership is now perhaps tougher than winning the Champions League. Well, I'd say it takes a more accomplished overall performance, because of the knockout stage of the Champions League. There's no doubting that Milan were the better side on the day, but could they measure up over a grueling 40 games, including FOUR of Europe's absolute top teams?

It's nice for Milan to have the chance to avenge the shocker they suffered against Liverpool. Apart from that though, it's sad. My husband bought me three red gifts in hopeful anticipation of Man United winning the treble...a red iPod nano, a red Samsung laptop and a red astronaut pen (for writing ideas down upside down in the middle of the night).

Still have to battle for the FA Cup...

The Boy Done Good

Lovely Cristiano Ronaldo scored a Giggs-style goal in the 88th minute. (As in, reminscent of Giggsie's goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final in 1999).

Awesome. It was lovely to see Alex Ferguson dancing like a little kid on the touchline.

I remember being in Manchester the night we won the Treble. Could that ever happen again?

Crumbs...what if?

Oh, United...

We have to do it the hard way, don't we? Can't see Celtic off and cruise through the game with Benfica. Can't just rack up an insane lead on Chelsea and cruise to the Premiership.

We bumped into my neighbour Gabby and his son, munching burgers in their car after a driving lesson. "Chelsea are losing," Gabby said happily. "United play at four. West Ham!"

Great, I thought. A chance to go eight points ahead. But no. The minute he said 'West Ham', I knew we'd inexplicably lose, like I knew Saha would miss the penalty against Celtic.

Nothing against West Ham, it's just that, well, as I say, we can't ever have it easy.
