2-0
Though achieving football saturation here is amazingly difficult, and watching games isn't as fun without a hot sweaty mamak man named saleh handing you bacteria-infested food and overpriced drinks while friends complain about player's performances; there is still enough left in me to say but a somewhat diminshed
HOHOHO
It's very different without the bunch of guys yelling at the TV (as if the players could hear us) or yelling our lungs off when Man Utd scores, but I'll take what I can get.
 The moment that made me jump. I love the way Riise is waving to an unknown friend in the stands.
Paul Scholes has long been my favourite player of all time, and even at his 500th game for United, the qualities he showed ten years ago don't appear diminshed in one bit. While ex-captain and limelight-lover Beckham has been relagated to the Real Madrid bench and off the national team altogether (a dumb move imo), Scholes continues to be an automatic first choice for any team in the world, even to the point where England boss Steve McLaren tried asking him back to the England team. Twice.
For those who don't know, Scholes retired from the England team a few years ago cause he wanted to spend more time with his family. It's so sweet it's diabetic. The man hates the limelight so much yet continues to grab it with his performances. One to be admired, indeed.
 The other member of the current 500-games club, putting in another amazing display. Age may have taken the wings out of his boots but seems to have replaced it with impeccable timing and passing that takes the breath away. His touch remains sublime, but if it he had one flaw, it was the final pass that always let him down. Not anymore. Truly imperious. A "footballing brain" the pundits like to call it. Whatever it is, the two golden oldies of Man Utd possess it in abundance, and are displaying it for all to see.
Glory may yet come to Old Trafford again this season.
On a less ego blowing note, did anyone watch Arsenal take apart Reading? I've never been a fan but passing and plays like that have got to be admired.
Stroke unit tomorrow ~ Delirious, demented, salivating old ppl crapping themselves, here I come! |
