超级德国

无可否认,我是一个非常欣赏德国足球的人。
德国人那顽强的斗志和激情总是深深地感染了我。

刚刚德国对英国的超级大比拼,两国队员不单只是为荣誉而战,更是为了两国足球和二战时期的恩恩怨怨而战。可想而知这会是一场多么精彩的比赛呀!

事实上他们两队那么早相遇实在可惜,应为实在太精彩了!

英格兰糟糕透顶的防守让日耳曼当家射脚克洛斯打入了第一球。而不久之后,白衣军团大公无私的配合让波多尔斯基打入了漂亮的第二球。

落后两球的英军当然不甘示弱。丢球罪人之一厄普申为三狮军团扳回一城,而兰帕德更是用自由球把皮球透过门楣第二次射入德国的大门。

可是很可惜,裁判并没看到这进球。所以2-1这个比分带到了下半场。

来到了下半场后,德国完全掌控了战局。两个漂亮的反击让穆勒梅开二度!当中兰帕德又有一次射门击中门柱!4-1,德国完胜英国,让后者耻辱性地出局……

无可否认,英军的确运气不足,但是,与德国相比,他们配进八强吗?我的答案?问我一千次都是不!

德国团队配合一流。英国?一堆各自为政的攻击群。
德国速度快,反击犀利。英国?人家都四、五人反击到他们的禁区了,他们的后防才姗姗来迟地赶上。
德国队虽然防守略嫌不稳,不过盯人方面还是算蛮杰出的。英国?竟然离谱到让对方在自己的半场玩一个传球大龙凤!

如果让英格兰晋级就真的让我痛心了!这样世界杯就会多一场乏味的球赛!

对我来说卡佩罗根本就是个昏帅!放出兰帕德、杰拉德、鲁尼、迪福这些需要他人做球的攻击手,却没派多少人去喂他们好球,简直就是一场灾难!

许多传球高超的边锋如贝尔和阿什利杨恩甚至连二十三人大名单都不入!在贝克汉姆因伤缺席的情况下,这根本就是一个灾难性的决定!这位意大利名帅简直输得狗屎一般!

看看德国,年轻、速度快、有够团结。他们个个带着十八般武艺进攻,可不像英格兰的当家球星般拼死拼命的尝试表演个人秀,一点创造力都没有。

我不得不佩服德国足球进步的速度,要知道他们23人大名单里可是清一色来自德国联赛啊!

看来英超有必要向德首取经了,不然英式足球只会裹足不前。呜呼哀哉……

顺道一提,英格兰的球迷,别再被媒体骗倒了,英格兰的“强”可是被媒体吹棒而来的。

Happy, Finally

Woohoo!!!
Goal!!!
TORRES!!!

I guess everyone know what I'm trying to express now. Just went to mamak to support my most favourite club of all time. And yes, this time, my mood swung from -100 to +100!

A defeat would meant Liverpool's worst run of defeats for the past 56 years. They dominated the first 15 minutes, but then Man Utd controlled the rest of the first half and created a lot of threatening chances. Cold sweats came out from me, definitely.

Second half begun where Liverpool started to gain control of the game facing the famous Kop Stand. And fortunately, Torres was there. He received a brilliant cross from Benayoun and kaboom! Wonderful shot over the invincible Van der Sar! Yes! This is what my most favourite player can do!

After then Man Utd tried to break through our defence but the defenders and keeper took turn nullifying the offence. Carragher had foul which should be red carded but hell man, this is Anfield. He may not have the chance to exit from Anfield should he gave it.

Vidic got his hat-trick near the end of the game when he was given the second yellow by the referee - three red cards in last three meetings with Liverpool! Mascherano was again red carded as well for the clash between two reds. N'gog goal after that confirmed the three points for Liverpool!

Of course, the referees were again very questionable with their judgements, but you cannot blame anyone. The referee system in football is simply a shit compared with NBA.

Oh man, I was just a night too good to get into the bed and sleep easily! YNWA!

Aquaman will get his debut in this coming midweek and we shall see what magic can he bring!

He deserves my love.

Harimau Malaya!

Another not in time post.

Days ago, Manchester United had created a great atmosphere around Bukit Jalil. Yes, they came after 8 years of time! I'm a die hard fan of Liverpool so... ya I know you know it. I wasn't really excited about it.

With a 0-6 loss of last encounter, the media didn't really put any hopes on our national squad, especially when now our FIFA ranking is much lower than years before. But...

18th July 2009. Man Utd led a 2-0 advantage with goals scored by Rooney and Nani, but the next thing that happened was unbelievable. Amri Yahya scored a stunning volley which made Van der Sar unable to do anything about it!!! Wow, was that Malaysia national team? Then, an idiotic mistake by Foster gave Yahya a second chance to slot in another goal!!! 2-2 from 2-0? Simply unbelievable!!! I bet everyone was shell-shocked by that result.

Although Michael Owen (ya, that traitor of Liverpool =p ) secured Man Utd a victory, but the performance of Harimau Malaya was something that deserves a credit. The fact is such a rare phenomenon that Malaysia XI was able to let Man Utd to concede two goals can only happen once in a century. And it proves a slogan: Malaysia Boleh!!!

Credits to Man Utd too for a fine game and also a fine rematch. Rajagopal, please revive our national team! =)

Realflation

The world is crazy. Specifically, the arena of football.

Realflation is striking the world.

What? Realflation? What's that?

It's the inflation of soccer players' price which Real Madrid brought to this transfer season.

Their first signing this season, Kaka, had already stunned the world with a price tag of 65mil Euros. What an incredible price!

And the next thing Real Madrid did was restunned the world again by buying Christiano Ronaldo of Man Utd with record breaking 80 mil Pounds. Are they insane?

Yes I do admit that both of them worth more than 100 mil pounds, but not around 130 mil pounds. That's way too much.

And such thing had led to the ultimate inflation of this season's football arena.

Liverpool had tagged Xabi Alonso for 35 million and Mascherano for 50 million pounds due to the giant figures that Real had risen.

Bayern Munich wants 70 million pounds for their French ace Ribery.

And the most recent news reported that Real Madrid had again continued their spending spree by hunting Benzema for 35 million pounds.

Oh, are they crazy?

At least the realflation is bringing the world crazy.

Who's next and what's the price?

Steven Gerrard vs Frank Lampard: Who's the King?

Since many years before, this argument exists: Who's the better CM in England? Lampard or Gerrard? I'm interested on it since I found out a lot of forums discussed on this topic.

So lets dissect them.

Frank Lampard, born 20th June 1978, is one of the most successful midfielder currently in the Premier League. He's best known for his goalscoring ability and is currently the top goalscorer for Chelsea FC. He had scored at least 10 goals for the past six seasons.

Steven Gerrard, born 30th May 1980, is also a very successful midfielder in the Premier League and perhaps the most influential captain in the league. He's best known for his captaincy whereby he's the driving force for Liverpool FC.

Battle 1: Passings
Both born as world class midfielder, so we couldn't really differentiate about their passing quality. Both Lampard and Gerrard have good and accurate passing ability, although Gerrard might contribute less in this part since he's also good in dribbling.
Results: Draw

Battle 2: Goalscoring
Goalscoring has been a vital part for midfielders since the beginning of the era of modern football. Lampard's consistent goalscoring ability have frequently put Chelsea on the advantage. Whereas Gerrard have started to show his best in goaling only in these recent years.
Results: Lampard wins

Battle 3: Defense
In terms of defense, both of them perform at very different ways. Lampard uses more on his intelligence to anticipate the opponents and steals the ball, whereas Gerrard relies more on his athleticism and slides for the ball. Both of them are good in defense, but not great.
Results: Draw

Battle 4: Dribbling
Lampard is not a dribbler. He exchange passes and find a slot to shoot when possible. Whereas Gerrard is. You can often see him running pass across defenders to shoot.
Results: Gerrard wins

Battle 5: Leadership
Lampard, although can lead well, is not a great leader. This is proven by the captaincy of John Terry at Chelsea. Gerrard is much better in this field. He's the driving machine of Liverpool and often has the ability to change the tides of a game.
Results: Gerrard wins

Battle 6: Physique
Lampard is better. He played for Chelsea for all 38 matches for three seasons. Whereas Gerrard is often disrupted by minor injuries.
Results: Lampard wins

Battle 7: All-Roundness
Gerrard can play multiple positions: LM, RM, CAM, CM and perhaps SS. He overwhelms Lampard in this field completely.
Results: Gerrard wins

Conclusion: Both of them are winners, but if you want me to choose one, Gerrard will win slightly due to his significance for Liverpool. Unfortunately, both of them can't perform their best for their country. It will be England's era now if both of them can cohere perfectly for their country games.

Anyway, this topic is more of an endless arguments since everyone will have different opinions.

What do you say?

Demonbusters - The Night of Disappointments

At last, the game which everyone was waiting for came: MU vs Barca!

The strongest of England versus the strongest of Spain. The former one was expecting to become the first quadruple champion whereas the latter one wanted to swap its third thropy of the season.

Everyone was expecting a fascinating game. But, in reality, the game could only be described by one word - boring.

Both sides were lacked of mentality to attack - especially disappointing when both are the top teams of the world.

Barca was just concentrating on ball control - little creation of chances.

Man Utd didn't look to have any will to win - they didn't even push up when they were falling behind!

Ronaldo was everything but nothing. He was performing a one man sloppy show. Park Ji Sung did nothing other than missing chances. And Anderson even worse - he couldn't even handle the ball well.

2-0 was the result. Quite fair for Barca, but quite boring for the fans. Probably one of the most boring finals of all. A time wasting football match. =.= Nonetheless, once again it proved that Ferguson sucks when MU is encountering fierce teams.

Barca rocks! XD

Goodbye to Magpies

The Premier League was... officially ended. Haha.

Lots of dramatic action happened this season. Lol.

Manchester United aka MU, won their deserved title. Whereas Liverpool has became the best runner-up with the highest points and lowest defeats as compared to the previous runners-up. They even managed to break the record where the club with the lowest number of defeats cannot become the champion of the season. Lol.

Chelsea and Arsenal grabbed the next two positions and this means that EPL is still the big four league. Whereas Everton, Aston Villa and Fulham grabbed the spot for the Europa League, the remade of UEFA Cup.

Whereas for the newly promoted clubs, West Bromwich Albion - the frequent visitor of EPL, has to back to its hometown - The Football League Championship. Whereas Stoke City, with the sparkles of Delap and Beattie for the early and late stages of the league respectively, had firmly secured its path in the league. Whereas for Hull City, even though they had a wonderful performance during the early stage of the season, they only managed to protect themselves from relegation after the last game.

What's surprising it's actually the relegated team - Newcastle United! OMG. They were once the English big five, so it's just hard to accept this cruel fact. They have a big stadium, a large number of fans and the likes of players like Michael Owen, Damien Duff and Martins. It's just unbelievable to see this kind of club to be relegated. A lot of fans must have broken their heart due to this incident.

In my opinion, I think Newcastle will become another Leeds - they will suffer from bankruptcy and had to sell a lot of players and even relegated again to lower division leagues. I think in this summer there will be quite a lot of transfers as Newcastle had a lot of "stocks" which most likely will not play in the lower division leagues such as Owen, Duff, Martins etc. And I doubt that Newcastle will have enough funds to pay for them after losing their main income source which came from EPL.

Goodbye, the Magpies!

Tribute to Rockets

Haha, I am writing this rather late.

As you all know, Houston Rockets finally made it to the second round of NBA playoffs. The first time Yao Ming succeeded to make it through. Lol. Still, they lost. Of course they would as they were fighting LA Lakers without Yao Ming after the second match.

But I have to praise them for their fighting spirit. Could you believe that they could actually drag the game to the seventh round? They only lost by 3-4, even without their tallest man!

What's the most impressive part? The Rockets horribly lost 40 points to Lakers in their fifth game, yet they didn't collapse. They managed to fight back in their sixth game to make it 3 all. They kind of reminded me of Shohoku Basketball Team of the Slam Dunk comic. Lol.

Finally, applause for them! ^^

运气 Luck

今天,我要讲足球,也要讲一些个人哲学。
I will talk about football again today and also some personal philosophy.

刚看了利物浦与阿森纳4-4的录影,既精彩又可惜。
Well, I have just watched the replay of Liverpool vs Arsenal. It was a heart-pounding and pitiful game.

阿沙文四个射门四个进球,这种天才27岁才成名未免太迟了吧?
4 shots 4 goals. Why did a extraordinary talent like Arshavin got his fame at such a late time - at the age of 27?

对于利物浦的防守,我的表情就像贝尼特斯一样脸黑黑。
Responding to Liverpool's defense, I couldn't find other ways to react other than the awful expressions shown by Benitez.

利物浦要夺冠?我看他们还是为下个赛季好好准备吧。
Still thinking of champion? Nah, the Reds better start preparing now for their next season.

--------------------------------------------

利物浦的平局,最开心的当然是曼联迷了。
Manchester United fans are definitely the happiest ones for the suffering of Liverpool.

有人跟我说:“利物浦能拿到平局真的很幸运。”
There are people who said to me that The Reds are lucky to get a draw.

肤浅。
Absurb.

毫无运气的话,曼联早就降级了。
If Man Utd don't have any luck at all, the should be relegated now.

毫无运气的话,或许费爵爷早就心脏爆发身亡。
Without luck, Ferguson should be dead due to heart attack by now.

毫无运气的话,说不定曼联会再次重演慕尼黑空难。
The Munich air accident would happen again if Man Utd doesn't bear any luck.

如果说,利物浦这个赛季没有几场补时阶段打入关键球的话,说他们幸运我当然没话可说。
If Liverpool hardly scored any decisive goals at stoppage time this season, I will have no comment if people say that they were lucky.

事实是怎样,大家都很清楚。
What the fact is? Everyone knows.

谁是逆转王?谁又被红军两次逆转?想想吧。
Who is the comeback king? Who had been reversed by The Reds twice? Think about it.

沙皇进四球?难道一点也没有运气?
Didn't Arshavin possess any luck when he scored 4 goals?

托雷斯频频受伤,难道又不是运气在作怪?难道曼联又不是在靠运气?
Wasn't Torres affected by bad luck for his repeated injuries? Didn't Man Utd gain any advantages due to this?

实力跟运气,我想懂得分析的人都应该清楚了解。
Is it ability or luck? If you can analyze it you will know it clearly.

我跟你们说,我刚开始喜欢足球是也是曼联迷呀!
Honestly, I was also a Man Utd fan when I started to love football.

不过自从走了贝克汉姆和尼斯特罗我就支持红军了。
But since the departure of Beckham and Nistelrooy I started to support Liverpool.

因为留在曼联的,只有高傲的费戈申和罗纳多。
Because what that remained in Old Trafford are the two arrogant Ferguson and Ronaldo.

之前我还会犹豫我的选择,可现在我绝对不后悔。
Sometimes I feel doubtful of my decision, but now... I feel that my decision is brilliant!

一个球队,除了夺冠,最重要的是给他的球迷献上漂亮的球赛以及归宿感。
What's important for a club? Besides getting trophies, it is also important to dedicate exciting game and a sense of belonging to their fans.

后面两点,这几年曼联绝对落后。
MU is definitely behind Liverpool on the latter two in these years.

老实说,曼联那个连后卫都要花三千万英镑买的阵容,赢不到冠军根本应该感到羞耻!
Honestly, if MU couldn't get the title with a team that has a 30 million pound defender, they should feel ashamed of themselves.

要知道托雷斯这种顶级前锋也才两千万英镑。
Even Torres - the top class striker only costed Liverpool 20 million pound.

谁的回报率高?想想吧。
Which team has a higher repay rate? Think about it.

说真的,我觉得当曼联迷一点也不光彩。那种只懂得跟随当权者的人,一生注定平平无奇。
Honestly, I don't think that being a MU fan is gracious. They only know to follow the ones who have the power. How can you success if you only know to become a follower?

没远见。
They never foresee future.

运气?如果没有运气,你还有机会跟人家说利物浦打和纯属幸运吗?
If you have no luck, do you think you still have a chance to say that Liverpool was lucky to earn a draw?

好好反省。
Introspect yourself.

P.S: 我并非针对某人或者某队而写,只是跟我说幸运那个人是曼联迷,说已才用这么多曼联的例子。请多多原谅。
I am not prejudicing anyone or any team. The reason for using so much of examples related with Man Utd is because of the person who said Liverpool was lucky is a MU fan. Sorry for all the arguments aroused.

What Liverpool Should Get In The Summer Transfer

Damn you Arshavin!

Sigh~ Another eight-goal-thriller brought to you by Liverpool. They are showing madness in their offense, yet displaying shitness in their defense. Arshavin, I like you pretty much, but how can you ruin Liverpool's title hopes by scoring four goals? Arsenal and Liverpool have the same rival man! Just damn you!

Lol. Too emo.

Okay, now lets talk about the topic. What Liverpool should get in the summer transfer... Here's my list (from the most important to the least important):

David Villa
Yes, the most important one to get. Why? Torres is now the only available five star striker in the team. Look at the others - MU has Berbatov, Rooney and Tevez; Arsenal has Adebayor, Van Persie and Arshavin; even Chelsea has Drogba and Anelka. A club can't win any titles with only one reliable striker. I chose David Villa not only because he's great, but also because he's a Spaniard! With the twin work together, they can demolish any teams in the world - both clubs and countries. Difficulty: Very Hard

Other suggestions: Roque Santa Cruz (Difficulty: Easy)(Santa Cruz himself has the will), Carlos Tevez (Difficulty: Very Hard)

Ricardo Quaresma
A right midfielder. Reason? Simple. Liverpool lacks of a dribbler and that is the reason why they kept lost points on weaker opponents. A team hardly can pierce through a totally defensive team without a dribbler. Difficulty: Very Hard (Mourinho and Benitez are destined rivals)

Other suggestions: Aaron Lennon (Difficulty: Very Hard)

Gretar Rafn Steinsson
Another one in the right lane. It's helpless as Arbeloa isn't consistent. Why Steinsson? He knows how to attack other than defend! As one of the key players in Bolton, he's one of the shining star. Difficulty: Normal ($ should settle Bolton easily)

Other suggestions: Phillip Lahm (Difficulty: Very Hard)

Joao Moutinho
Hmm... Gerrard isn't young already... Get him an heir! Moutinho is great. He is versatile. The only thing bad is his defense is not as good as Gerrard. Anyway, at the age of 23, he is definitely a big asset. Get him out of Porto! Difficulty: Hard (You can't get the ace of a team easily)

Other suggestions: Manuel Fernandes (Difficulty: Normal)

Job done

Ta-da! Finally! Assignment? Game over!!! Cheers!

Well, I felt so weird not to post anything in the past week. I had not done it long time ago. Blogging has now became part of my identity lolx.

There sure were a lot of things happened recently, now lets inform you all one by one =P :

1. Assignment rush hour. Guess what? Except studying and sleeping, MORE THAN 70% OF MY TIME WERE SPENT FOR WEB PAGE ASSIGNMENT UNTIL TODAY. Lols. What an incredible work maniac. Honestly, that's part of the tragedy a hunter of perfection, specifically, the nature of a Virgo. Haha. Again it is due to my overconfidence and lack of trust towards others. A pathetic creature. But I did enjoy it as it filled my loneliness. XD Well for those who interested, you may visit my created Web site here.

2. F1 has burned the tyres again! Vroom!!! The 2009 season heated up in Melbourne last week. With more and more rules implemented, the world's most prestigious motorsports event has now became more exciting to see. And guess what? The newcomer Brawn GP F1 Team swept away one-two finish with 18 points! Can you believe that a new team got such results in its debut? I think this season will be a promising one!

3. Tuesday was quite "wonderful" for me. I was overheated. Can't get what I mean? Fever la.  =( I woke up in such a bad condition that day which forced me to abandon my class that day. Sighs~ I used my ponteng quota!!! So not worthy! =P

4. Thursday. Hahaha. I was supposed to go back home early today... However, Tzia Tzia wanted to meet YY again, so... Hahaha... It wasn't bad to meet her actually cause she has a lot of interesting experience to tell us although she is one year younger than us. A group of four which consisted of Warren, YY, TT and me went to McD to record a spontaneous video due to her request. Uhm... though quite awkward, but I am numb to such feelings lol. What the funny part? The request for a cameraman. Warren actually asked a UTARian which none of us know at all (not even seen him before) to take the role as the cameraman. We acted quite stupidly yet that's not bad at all. It's impromptu man! Still, I think my expressions were quite sucky. XD Here's one of the shots taken there (snapped from Tzia's blog):
5. Just to make up an ending for today's post: Argentina lost horribly. 1-6? It's already hurt enough to lose so much, and it's just Bolivia. I wondered why didn't Maradona (the Argentinian coach, also a legend player, who has heart problems) suffer from heart attack when he saw the results? Hohoho. Hope they would get back their morale soon.

Done done done!!! First blog of April! Luke el Majestico de Solaris is coming back to Blogspot! Miss You So Much Babe! Adios!

Quote of the day: If you are really determined of something, you'll fear of nothing anymore.

Cool Sweep

Liverpool vs Aston Villa (Soccer - Barclays Premier League)

This encounter is supposed to be an interesting one everytime. Aston Villa, under the nurture of Martin O'Neill, has became one of the strongest team in the premier league. This is much interesting as most of their elite troops are composed of English players - which most of other teams collect talents from all corners of the world. Whereas Liverpool, since the arrival of Rafael Benitez, has regained its glory in history, making Rafa one of the most impossible to be fired. With 0-0 result in the first leg, this game was filled with a lot of question marks.

But in just 7 minutes, the tide had gone to Liverpool. A powerful shot from Kuyt started the ultimate humiliation of the Aston Villa. With Riera's goal on 37th minute and Gerrard's pure set piece hat-trick, Anfield stadium was filled with decibels and decibels of "You Will Never Walk Alone". Honestly, this surprised me. 13 goals in 3 matches? How the hell a defensive based team like Liverpool be able to do that? That's totally interesting. It burns the spirit of every LFC fans on the earth - I am one of them. With Manchester United ultimately unpredictable two consecutive losses, Premier League has resurrected its uncertainty and excitement this season. Lets see what will happen in the end of May. To the respected Captain (Steven Gerrard): Fire fire fire!

The Reds' Rampage

Friday. A pleasant day? I don't know. But surely quite interesting. We had a class at 10. But guess what? YY woke up at 9. WTH? And he only reached my home at 9.30. So it's basically a mission impossible to reach in time. Ya, we were late again - 3 lates in 4 days this week. ><>
Lets talk about our lunch that day. We went to Jaya Noodle House for a meal. I ordered a pork rice at first, however I decided to change to curry mee after that as what the rest of us did. Lol. So uniform again. The mee was quite nice for me - so lots of char siu and other meats. Well, I was the type who like to eat more dishes than rice hehe. The bill? RM 28.xx for 4 people when each set was RM13.90 before tax. Lol. But all of us were still so idiotic after paying the bill and stayed at there until the cashier was able to identify that the bill was wrong. =.= So it was RM6x.xx for all of us.

As planned, we went to YY's house after class - staying overnight again. As YY's mum's friend was having a house warming that day, YY suggested us to go there for a free meal. XD Surprisingly, I wasn't eating that much that night. Maybe because of I'm paiseh? Lol. YY had met his friend - Ling that day and introduced to us. She said that she met me before at SMKBBSL. How come I don't remember such cute face? Lol. We also had some beer there - the first time I drank whole can of Carlsberg. XD Here's some snapshots:



After we went back, we practiced awhile for our drama which supposed to be acted several weeks  from now. That's quite funny. Lol. I have got to record it and post it on youtube! Please wait for it!

SATURDAY. We woke up at 10, after playing until so late the day before. What's funny? Wai Ming went back already that morning, having little progress of assignments that we planned to do. But that's ok, as we didn't do much thing as well after that. XD That's the fact: you can't do much work in groups as you tend to chat, joke and play more. Hahaha. We just managed to assign tasks to each of us by the way. After the that we played Winning Eleven for so long. What's funny? I always got awarded an penalty kick by the opponent for each game. And for the last game and also my only victory game, I got 3 penalties! And when the game was going to end, where I was leading 9-2, Warren tackled for another red card - which ended the game because of the lack of players and the game was announced to be won 3-0. WTH!

We planned to back around 4, but then Hock Heng suggested to stay to watch the clash of the titans - Man Utd vs Liverpool, until the night. What's more? We tricked Wai Ming to back to YY's house to watch with us by saying that we need to do assignments. Lol.

Man Utd vs Liverpool at Old Trafford? Honestly, I have low expectation that Liverpool will win. From the players to the stadium, all was at disadvantages for Liverpool, especially after Liverpool dropped 1-0 due to penalty. However, Torres was shining that day. My idol created lots of problem for the Red Devils. He punished Vidic for his stupid mistakes. And the goal he scored changed the game. Warren and I kept hurraying for the goals Liverpool had got, while YY kept complaining Man Utd defenses. 4-1. Whoohoo! This is magnificent, especially at MU's home - the ultimate fort who hardly concede goals. Although Liverpool is still far behind from MU in the league table, but this is an ultimate warning to MU. Liverpool will shut MU down in the next season! XD

By the way, I was a MU fan as well when I first knew about football. But slowly I changed. To support anyone due to its physical strength and domination is not my path. I prefer someone with spiritual power, and that's Liverpool - the rising sun. Although quite disappointed of their results years before, but I feel so glad that I support them from the start, now the Reds are the phantom of the giants! Hurrah! You'll Never Walk Alone!
