And we’re back!

Friends, Romans, Manchester-men
I write to you in a state of Zen
My beloved Red Devils are atop the table
Consecutive titles - it’s not a fable!

Firstly let me apologize to you
My blogs over time have been too few
I was home in Bombay for I lost someone
My grandfather - my hero - like you there is none
Work and family filled my mind
But I did my team follow and suddenly I find
We’re 2 points ahead with a game in hand
Liverpool, Chelsea - you know where we stand!

David Moyes had made a case
A staunch defense and set in 6th place
But underestimate our boys he probably did
Of the gents from Everton, we were soon rid
Then came the big weekend - Reds vs Blues
Torres was back and boy did he pay his dues
An angel from heaven guided his head
Much to Scolari’s chagrin and dread
And to rub salt on every Chelsea bruise
A last minute goal - a 2-0 cruise

But good for us and bad for them
Stevie hurt his hamstring above his skirt’s hem
A 1-0 defeat by the Everton boys
In the FA cup robbed the ‘pudlians of all their joys http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/05022009/58/premier-league-gerrard-three-weeks.html

No love for Liverpool but I do feel bad
For England next week - Spain will be glad
A friendly is planned at Wembley no less
Let’s hope Lampard can reduce the stress
With David playing like the champion he is
Scoring in Milan, c’mon Capello, the time is his

So my loyal football loving friend
Here is a message to you I send
The season for now is only haf done
My pen will be my sword till the title is won
And once it is, I will not rest
For the offseason is the true test
All the rubbish talk of transfers and sale
My beloved players I know will not bail
But a watchful eye I will and must keep
We will buy and we will reap
And build a force ready and strong
For the years ahead glorious and long
I go now but watch this space
My team I will follow as matches they ace
Before I go for my curry and rice
I just have a last word of advice
If you must support a club
It better be Man U!!
