saturday was a good day

University finals have dawned like a killer July sun and procrastinators stand united in worry. It was an exhausting week and just describing it in a half written post exhausted me. So I left it to rot with the other drafts. But last saturday something happened to completely capture my attention.
It was the Manchester derby and I was expecting the worse. A little history in my interest:
United had been coming first for some time before they got bumped off the spot by Chelsea. And then the Champions League was lost. The holes from Arsenal were gaining ground with each match. And then, we drew to Blackburn. It was realistically over. And then out of nowhere, the Spurs come out of the underdog shadow and defeats Arsenal. A little pressure is eased. Then they defeat Chelsea! And the competition is back on! And then, the match that was to cement United's standing firmly on to the road to victory: the match with Man City.
There are two clubs in Manchester. One is the shit and other's plain shitty. manchester city is a club that that's so shitty it doesn't even deserve the title case, forget the title. city came to United and they lost. We met them in the Carling Cup and they were decimated. And now they were promising revenge on the reverse fixture. I was a little scared, but Scholes came to me in my dreams and started "O ye of little faith..." I had class the time the match was on so I knew I was going to miss it. So the match begins and I'm checking livescore every minute and biting my nails. Actually the skin beneath the nails. Biting nails is nasty and unhygienic. And so is Adebayor. It's still nil nil right down to the 70th minute, just when my class gets off. I rush to my car and get inside and go to my friend's house to watch the match and I'm checking the watch to see if I'm too late and I think I am and she opens the door and suddenly I hear her dog go crazy and the TV inside screaming of cheer. I can hear Jenny bark out "SCHOLES!" cos thats all I'm hearing, ringing in my head. Wow, what a rush. Not only do we win the derby but also destroy Arsenal's chance of being second and narrow the gap with Chelsea at first. If it makes anyone feel any better, Arsenal will always be number 2 in my mind.
