Shhh!! The Doctor is operating <2004>

Remember the scrappy lil kid from Italy, riding a small 125 Honda? After being the 125 champ, people said he is going to be the best ever 125 rider, then he became the 250 champ, 2 years later the 500 champ and now the 1st and only Moto Gp champion, god! he is the best racer in town. And The Doctor is back. Back in style. He is the first ever to win consecutive GPs for 2 different makers (Repsol Honda & Yamaha) and he is still the scrappy lil kid.

This is one of the biggest moves in GP history and if the story remains the same, he is going to create history. Mr.46 Jr with his long and successful GP innings has managed to steal Mike's thunder, Wayne's charisma, Biaggi's eccentrics and Kevin's style. I remember being little bored watching 'the great one' Doogan, win the 500 title for the 6th consecutive time. He must have been fed up himself, because he left the track soon after. Rossi has made a big difference to the man's game. He laughs, he cries, he teases, he celebrates, he morns without caring what the camera would think. And here is the secret everybody knows, It loves him. When you are different, the world expects consistency, that's were many have failed, that's were greats like Brian Charles Lara and Andre Aggasi failed. And that's were Valentino Rossi is different and a respectful handshake from his country man and his bitter rival, Mad Max sums it all up. Valentino could go on winning or at least competing with his grand children. Even they won’t dare challenge 'The Doctor'.

Ronaldo Rocks (ManU 1 Leicester 0) 2003-2004

Hey Look, It’s Red, Its Fast, Its flying low, Iieeeets Ronaldo. He was nothing short of brilliant today. Don't be fooled by the score line; It was ManU all the way. It was Ronaldo all the way. With no Roy, Ryan and Ruud it was great pleasure seeing the kids perform the way they did. Christiano showed the maturity, the imagination, the confidence of a true champion. I've always believed the future is ours and the evidence was right there in Old Trafford today. The average age of the team was 22 on field, if that's not bright future then be kind enough to enlighten me what is. Why some may wonder, all this fuss about defeating a team which is fighting for its mere existence in the league. Hello, remember the 4-1 loss to Man City? Statistics doesn't matter in sport, it’s for the arrogant to make believe that soccer (for that matter any sport) could be predicted. Raise hands, who thought they would live to see a possible Monaco-Porto CL finals.

The Defense is growing in confidence, they did a clean job today. With Rio coming back next season and hopefully Sir Alex buying a full back, things are bound to be back on track. Loosing the season doesn't mean anything. But most definitely (To cote Sir Alex) the empire is not crumbling. So we will leave the money splashing, boot flashing, fist clenching, street fighting to the Guns and Blues. Our Fight, Our Cause, Our Life, Our smiles and Our tears are on field. You want to know what's the difference between the Red Devils and the other mortals, WE DARE DREAM.
