For the second consecutive season, it wasn’t the stars who lit up the final of the Champions League. And AC Milan proved (just like Manchester United did in February at Anfield) that Liverpool’s famed resilience and tactical nous can be broken down through persistence and perseverance.
The trouble with a final featuring Liverpool is that they will start playing for a penalty shootout if the score is deadlocked at around the 55th minute.
Did you read The Hindu dated May 21, 2007? It carried a detailed article on the back page about a certain Ms Vidya Ram who had topped the Columbia University’s School of Journalism. Fair enough. Congrats! But would anyone else aged 27, and from Chennai have made the news? If she weren’t the daughter of the newspaper’s editor?
Ms. Ram is the daughter of N. Ram, Editor-in-Chief, The Hindu, who is an alumnus of the Columbia University journalism school. She studied at Sishya, Chennai, Oxford University, and the London School of Economics before going to Columbia University. Ms. Ram spent a year teaching English in Harbin, China; interned at The Hindu group’s Frontline magazine in 2001-2002; and subsequently worked at the Hansard Society in London.
What next? Some grandchild passed second standard with flying colours?
Why did you ask United to play like Chelsea do? That kind of football is dull, boring, sleep-inducing, in short, un-United-like. And, in any case, we don’t win playing like that.
