Hargreaves on scoring the vital winner against Arsenal on 13 Apr 08.

Last nite’s thriller between ManU and Arsenal was emotional roller coaster for me…

When Arsenal took the lead, i was begining to think that the title was beyond ManU’s reach.  When TV replays shows that Adebayor had scored with the “hand of god”, using his arms to push the ball into goal, i was fuming. 

When Ronaldo scored the penalty, i jumped.  But when the referee ordered it to be retaken, i slumped back into my seat.  But then Ronaldo scored again!  I jumped. 

But almost instantly, i sulked again cos a draw ain’t going to do ManU no good. 

When Hargreaves scored the winner from a free-kick, i brought the house down with my vocal cords. 

But in the last 10 mins Arsenal tormented the ManU goal in search of the equaliser. My fingers were crossed, my hands were trembling.  

After the final whistle, my hands were still trembling.. and continued to tremble for an hour at least after the game had ended…

It’s not easy being a ManU fan.
