Day 423 - 21st May 2008

Oh dear Lord, I just witnessed the worst sporting outcome anyone ever has to bear - a penalty shoot out. Luckily, tonight's champion's league final between Manchester United and Chelsea was evenly balanced.

In fact, it was a great game, with loads of near misses at both ends all the way to the end of extra time. I wasn't biased to any side, but at the end of the penalties, Ronaldo had missed the only one so far, the burden to take the winning strike was taken up by the ever noble John Terry.

One shot to win the cup, one shot to complete a long journey to Chelsea's only success, and he missed - I still feel for him. Losing 6-5 on penalties is no way to go, but there simply wasn't any other way.

Anyway, time for bed after tonight's thriller - that's enough excitement to last me well into next season!
