not because I did a speech or anything.
BUT because we were losing to aston villa 2-1 at home until the 80th minute!
Ronaldo shoots..
AND ITS A GOAL!! 2-2.(we weren't playing well at all and a draw would satisfy me)
But guess what. this dude that has never played for manchester united on the big stage is given his debut. He's got a nice name, Federico Macheda. Nickname is Kiko.
I was like "what in the world is the manager trying to do?" when he was sent on.
BUT GUESS WHAT?!
KIKO SCORES A FANTASTIC GOAL!! at the 90th+2 minute!
I SCREAMED AND EVERYONE AT McD's looked at me. BUT I DIN CARE!
cuz the unknown gave us a priceless 3 points.
AND THE BEST PART:
WE'RE STILL ABOVE LIVERPOOL!!
THIS IS WHAT manutd.com HAS TO SAY:
Macheda the marvel
Never heard of him one minute, never to be forgotten the next. Federico Macheda did not just mark his first appearance at Old Trafford with a goal that won a football match yesterday. He scored a goal that saved a season and revived a side that seemed to be on its knees. A goal that propelled him from Facebook obscurity to sporting stardom in the space of a single stoppage-time second, with the timing of its execution as spectacular as the finish was sensational. When Gabriel Agbonlahor secured the lead for Aston Villa 13 minutes into the second half, Manchester United's pursuit of more trophies appeared to be unravelling. They were devoid of ideas and devoid of confidence and destined, seemingly, to suffer a third successive defeat in the Barclays Premier League. That Sir Alex Ferguson sent on an unknown 17-year-old Italian from the bench was a measure of just how desperate their situation appeared. Then, however, came the kind of comeback we have long associated with Ferguson's teams - a comeback that would have crushed Liverpool as much as it did Martin O'Neill's determined team; a comeback that saw the initiative in this most intriguing of title races return to this end of the East Lancs Road.

Many of the papers compare Macheda's last-gasp winner to Steve Bruce's effort in 1993 when the Reds beat Sheffield Wednesday in injury time. They also compare the celebrations from that day when Brian Kidd and Sir Alex lept onto the pitch; against Villa it was Rio Ferdinand who caught the eye in the press box as he jumped and screamed with delight in the directors' box celebrating Macheda's winner.
In his column for the Telegraph, ex-Liverpool defender Alan Hansen says Liverpool will be distraught after seeing United come from behind to beat Villa, while Sun columunist Steve Howard says Sunday was the day that United won the league title.
HERO!! KIKO!!
It's not over til' the whistle blows!
