Whatever has a beginning must have an end, so goes the saying. But endings are rarely what they are, they usually usher in a new beginning, perfecting the cycle that is the shape of the world and things in it. Wednesday night at the Bernabeu was a perfect example of an end and a signpost for a new beginning. The day dawned for Mourinho on a sad note but it broke into a new beginning for Athletico Madrid who last tasted victory against the Galacticos in 1999.
It is obviously the end of the road for Mourinho in Madrid, however, it may open a new chapter in Chelsea's burgeoning history. Moyes is ending it with Everton to start a new era with Manchester United while Sir Ferguson is ending a 28 year long reign in the premiership to assume the geriatric role at the theatre of dreams.
Speaking of dreams, David Beckham feels its time to end his footballing dream and kick-start something new at 38. The English legend is bowing out with a Ligue 1 cup victory with PSG who would be witnessing the end of Carlo Ancelloti's reign at the French outfit, the Italian would probably move on to build a new constellation of Galacticos in spain.
Away from sports, err football, times are ending and people are finishing. Good times are ending for bad people and good people are starting to feel the heat of bad things, what a paradox life is. The FG is set to spoil and end the party for Boko Haram as the president declared state of emergency in three states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa. It sounds like a berth of fresh air in those areas, but for those hundreds and maybe thousands who would be casualties of war, its the beginning of the end...
The government may end the reign of terror with the bombardment but what beginning awaits the motherless, the fatherless, widows and countless orphans that will continue this cycle when the smoke settles?
