Something for the pain* - Bon Jovi

Ac Milan won. Liverpool lost.

Benetiz does not offer excuses, nor does he tries to blame anyone. AC Milan are the Champions again for the 7th time. Congratulations.

Even as early as the first few minutes of the 2nd half, i was setting up meself for to accept defeat (and was actually thinking of a song to put as the title of this post!!!! Initially, i was hoping that this post would be entitled "We are the champions - Queen"). Some may say its superstitious but in footballing world, after dominating the whole first half (wif some brilliant football at times) only to concede a freak goal thru a free kick that was at best, conceded unneedfully, and at worst, questionable, one just knows that it's not gonna be the Reds' day. Not this time anyway.

I can complain at how unfair football is at times, i can comfort meself at the majestic way Mascherano shut out Kaka, i can tell meself that come next year, this wouldn't matter much, i can try to feel happy for me mate,
Alberto, i can try to focus on more important things in life (hey, it's just football)... but none of that can ease the pain.

The best is just to drown meself in work... for the next few months...


ADDENDUM: After sending me congratulatory wishes to Alberto, he replied, full of joy, naturally. But he said something pretty interesting at the end of his reply. He said "... but the best victory is always the next one!" How true, how so very true.

*Their second track from their album, These Days - not one of their successful album but it's me favourite!
