Goals.

Watched two football games yesterday and saw a total of 12 goals, of which 8 were great and 4 of them were not-so-great. Well, at least I still had some fun winding up the Pegasus team yesterday at the stadium, and after winding up Kitchee a few weeks back, it was great to be able to dish out the same dirt on another title challenger whose fight for the league title suddenly went so pear-shaped. And since South China probably aren’t in the title race any more (mathematically it’s still possible, but I’m not betting on it), the best bit of entertainment we can have ourselves is probably to wind up the two teams who are in it but can’t seem to do enough to secure the title! But again, some righteous “fans” are again slagging us off, but I don’t have time for them. If they can’t understand the culture in football, I can’t really help them. As I’ve said a million times, winding up the opposition is part of supporting a team, and if these lot still remains in their 70s mentality, I think they should continue staying in their caves and not let people know how ignorant they are.

As for Manchester United… let’s say that I’m still gutted by how they shipped 2 goals in 3 minutes. I sure wouldn’t want to be in the United dressing room after the game yesterday. I won’t complain – after all these years rooting for United, I’m getting used to such bumpy rides. That said, even if City were to win the league, I wouldn’t say that they deserve it anyway because when you are spending that kind of money, buying all kinds of players, you shouldn’t be just winning the league. As I always said, if it’s Sir Alex managing that bunch of idiots at Manchester City, they would have wrapped up the title in February. Of course, Sir Alex would never have gotten Mario Balotelli in the first place.

Ever since coming back to Hong Kong from Manchester, I think I’m having quite a bad time trying to sleep well. Last week has been hectic (which is an understatement), and hopefully I could get to have a good few hours of sleep in the train when I’m heading over to Beijing this weekend.

And yes, the Manchester travelogue is still nowhere in sight yet. Patience is a virtue, my friend.

MCFC Fact of the Day: If Manchester City wins the Premiership on 13 May, they will finally be able to justify having the 3 stars on their crest, one star for each of their league title win (the other two being 1937 and 1968).
