United fans are lucky to have several matches to choose from as “the greatest ever”. The ones that tend to rank most highly are the ones where we should have been well and truly beaten, but somehow managed to come back and win. In 1999, we saw several games like this, with the games against Arsenal, Juventus and Bayern Munich.
Last Wednesday, United won the European Cup in a sudden death penalty shoot out. After missing several great chances in the first half of the match to wrap the game up, United were hanging on by the skin of their teeth in the shoot out.
John Terry had the chance to win the Cup for Chelsea following Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty miss. However, he lost his nerve and missed the target. The relief and joy brought about by this moment was incredible.
With successful penalties from Nani, Anderson and Giggs that followed, the pressure was all on former dipper, bitter and gooner, Nicolas Anelka. It was all too much for him though and Van der Sar got the better of him, and United won the European Cup. Unimaginable and indescribable happiness.
So, how did you celebrate?
LOL the first 2 are just toooooo funny lol thats how i reacted when we won !!
It’s amazing how everyone ( including me ) acted in exactly the same way when VDS saved from Anelka. Pure multiple orgasmic sensation. Unable to control myself , jumping up and down like a loony and hugging every person in the bar wearing a red shirt. Never thought I would say it but this eclipsed ‘99 for me. Watched it at the walkabout at Embankment with loads of other reds, best atmosphere I have ever experienced outside a ground! We outnumbered the chavs ( just! ) and it was packed out. After five mins of jumping up and down I looked around and all the chavs had left the building! BEST NIGHT EVER !!!!!
Where is that last one taking place?
And for me, i went more mental when JT missed than when vds saved from anelka. At that moment, i learned what euphoria feels like. I must have screamed “come fucking on” at the top of my lungs ten straight times. After that, i had no doubt in mind about the result. Vds saving was just a formality.
When Terry missed I remember going right up to the screen and calling him a fucking cunt (right in front of my mom, btw). Then when Anelka missed I was already late for something and ran out of the room and tackled my mom in pure joy.
It’s at the MEN arena.
oh my god, i jumped round like a nut, hugged every1 especiall my equally nutty united supporter! bloody brilliant… wen terry missed, it was game on, il tell ya i never lost faith cuz 99 was in my head! i was happier wen chelsea hit the post for the second time, i screamed il shag the post!
Check out the chav slopping off in the 4th one at 1min 30 seconds….Hilarious.
Numquam Moribimur
When Terry missed, I just screamed at the TV and said his rotten fucking ass deserves nothing. And then when VDS saved the pk I punched the ground many times then rolled on the ground crying tears of joy.
