Looking back…

One of the great thing (at least for me) staying in this part of the world is that I don’t have to wake up at ungodly hours to catch the mid-week football games. In fact, I don’t have to miss any of Man U games at all. In Malaysia, sometimes the games can start at 1.00am during weekends due to time difference, so you can imagine the struggle of waking up during Sunday morning to attend church (I know, bad habit).

I remember the Champion’s League final last May, when Man U took on Chelsea (Man U subsequently won on penalties, even though Ronaldo missed the spot; thank God Terry slipped and handed us the title); I had to take personal leave just to watch the game. Crazy right? And if Man U lost that final, the whole day would’ve sucked big time.

So to all Man U fans in Asia, in case you can’t catch some of the games, rest assured that I am watching it on your behalf :D

Today at 1.30pm I will sit in front of the idiot box rooting for the Manchunian army. Go you Reds!

Update:

In a game where Man U should’ve won 10 – 0, they lost 2 – 1. It’s really a case of men vs boys, in this case the boys won… Luck really favored Arsenal in this one. Samir Nasri, the one who scored the brace is really the man to watch. He really ran circles around Gary Neville (maybe his time as defender is up), Rio was really sleeping (nearly caused more shockers) and Vidic was, well… substandard today. Our attacks were quality enough, slicing open Arsenal’s defenses like tofu, but just lack that final touch to put the ball away. Come January, Fergie should be looking to bring in additional steel in defense, or let Rafael be part of the first team. His performance was good and his goal was touche!

P/S: And I noticed I used a lot of ‘really’ in this post, ‘cos I was REALLY caught up with the game, and at the end of the game, I was REALLY disappointed. You can read abt the intensity of my emotions in my wife’s blog.
