GFP: And then there was tennis.
Sheffield United 1-2 Manchester United (as dad likes to put it, a 'United derby' *shakes head*)
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, my boooooooooooooys woooooooooooooooooooon. I enjoy excessive vowel usage, don't you?
All the pictures are crap, so here's one of adorable Keith Gillespie, Sheffield's scorer!
Soooooooooooo cuuuuuuuute! He was part of the United youth team with Gaz and Becks and Giggs! I didn't know that! I couldn't be mad when he scored, I just couldn't. Squee! I heart him! I also now have RAGING plot bunnies. The Class of '92 does that to me. LE SQUEEEEEEE. <3<3<3
I officially heart Sheffield United. Wow. They're all adorable and dedicated and gave my boys a really good match. I generally heart promotion teams just because they usually suck but are full of life, but these guys just blew me away. Also, 'The Full Monty'. Looooooove! They all walked onto the pitch with babies, as usual, but they brought out a disabled child with his father and took a special shot with the match officials and the team captains, and Gaz made a special effort to shake the kid's hand and I cried my head off. It didn't help that it was early in the morning and I was overtired, but talk about your melting moment. I. Heart. That. Man. He also made sure to shake the hand of the tiny blond boy that came out with Sheffield's captain. mrs_isaacs, if anyone uploads the match, I'll send you that bit. Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah! *melts again*
I did end up watching bits of Boro-Liverpool. Boooooooooring. Poor sucky Liverpool boys. Crouchy really should've won it in the last ten minutes. But the Boro 'keeper was on fire and lovelylovely Woodgate had the most amazing clearance off the line. Like Scholesy! Hee. *pets pretty Liverpool* It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly identical Steve Finnan and Jamie Carragher are. I enjoy referring to them as the Ogre Twins. Muahaha. But I heart them anyway.
Then I simply had to watch my tennis boyfriend beat up on Rafael Nadal. He's so ridiculously adorable! He's totally quiet and reserved through the entire match, unlike Nadal who grunts and groans with heavy exertion with every single swing. It's actually quite uncomfortable to listen to. Freak. But then my lovely Roger yelled to the skies and slid to the clay on his knees and was generally adorable. He also threw his sweaty wristband and headband into the crowd, which is a nice but extremely gross gesture. Hee. The tennis commentators are so enamoured of him. They kept insisting that the match stats were skewed to Nadal's favour and what an elegant and fabulous player Roger is and on and on and on. Now they're giving snide commentary as Blake crushes Nalbandian. Muahaha, I love tennis.
The pictures also suck, but this one was too amusing to pass up:
*snicker* Tennis pairs. I think I need say no more.
