Manchester United are playing Barcelona in the Champions League Final. I’m sitting here watching it with Denis and John while writing this post.

If re-incarnation comes about and we can choose where we re-land, then I want to come back on earth as a striker for Man United. Shove over Rooney or Ronaldo, I want one of your positions. I’ve always regarded soccer as a very elegant sport. On the otherhand I think rugby is open warfare between foot soldiers. That brings to mind the saying, ‘Soccer – a game for gentlemen played by hooligans. Rugby – a game for hooligans played by gentlemen.’

I got into watching European soccer with Patrick when he was quite young. He kind of left it and I kind of stayed. I remember Patrick wrangling a bigger screen television out of us for some Champions League Final a number of years ago.

However, I think I will have to reconcile myself like poor old Lucy Jordan when,
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she’d never
Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.

Current score Barcelona 1, Man United 0.
