Manchester United wins European Champs League

Manchester United won the European Champions League after beating Chelsea. The win came on the 50th anniversery (year) of the Munich crash that Morrissey sang about on the classic B-side song 'Munich Air Disaster 1958' off the 'Irish Blood, English Heart' single.

The match was held in Moscow and United beat Chelsea 6-5 in a rain-soaked shoot out following a 1-1 tie.

In addition to being a b-side song, 'Munich Air Disaster 1958' can also be found on "Deluxe Edition" of 'You Are The Quarry'.

  • What was the point of this story?

    If a Mexican sports team win a trophy are we going to put something up because Morrissey has a song called Mexico?

    On a seperate note, Man Utd were very very lucky last night and Chelsea should have won.

  • We don't care. The connection to Morrissey is pathetic. I see perfectly reasonable posts moved like crazy on the forums, yet this rubbish gets main page billing?

    Don't make me laugh

  • Hopefully the Man Utd Players flight will come down on its way back. Now that would be something to Celebrate.

  • George Best who played for Man U, would have been 62 today.

  • It doesn't matter if its not about morrissey, the fact is that Man U are the best team in the world. Hands down.

  • Morrissey is from Manchester he may not have watched the game but im sure he would have wanted United to win for his Dad and the rest of Mmanchester. Viva Ronaldo.

  • This *is* relevant news- this year is the 50th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster that, as a an ex-resident of Manchester, Morrissey felt passionately enough about to write a song about. The dramatic events of last night could be seen as a story of fate and redemption- one that Morrissey would surely appreciate- and the Cup win was dedicated to the memory of the Babes.
    Also, despite what you might read to the contrary from bitter ABUs here, United deservedly won! ;-)

  • a Dutchman named Edwin van der Sar won the CL
    for Man. United

    what a shame that the england team isn't at the
    european championchips
    England is one of those teams [like Italy and
    Spain and Germany , the Dutch too ;)] who belong
    always on a european or worldcup championchips

  • The greatest pleasure I get when Man U win is the bitterness and silence from the ones that hate us. I can just answer every negative comment with a smile and the word "Champions!".
    It is one thing to lose with dignity and respect but I feel it is even more important to win with dignity and respect and the way the Man U players lined up to applaud the Chelsea players was very sporting and full of respect which is such a better way to do it than milking it and mocking the opposition which I am sure would have been the case if Terry would have scored that penalty.
    Man U always win dramatically and it was all like a repeat of the 1999 final with Chelsea hitting the post and hitting the bar but remember, we have Van der Sar!!!!!

    Have a great summer people, I know I will :-)
