Even More Celebratory

At 5.29 am things were not looking good. It had all the makings of a day to forget, or remember with at least a small measure of pain. Then a certain central defender stepped up to take a penalty and the world turned sunny again - and all this before the dawn prayer!

And in addition to that our drama guys got exactly the result they deserved.

Normally I'm sceptical about deciding matches - especially finals - on penalties, and giving awards for plays. But, just for today, I'm a believer.

Sadly it was all a bit of a non-event for this Gunner. But congratulations anyway, the lads deserved it. It was funny to see CR not score a penalty though, after his first strike.

I somehow missed the humour of Ronnie's blunder. At that point the missus had joined me to watch the penalties and couldn't stop repeating Why did he pause? which was exactly what I was thinking but did not, at that time, require enunciating over and over. Fortunately John Terry took it upon himself to step up and silence her.
Let's hope to see the gonners up there next year!
