As I blogging at this hour, it simply means I can’t sleep. Not because I am on amnesia or something but the sense of euphoria is running high in my adrenaline. After 9 years of not winning the European Champions League, Manchester United are finally champions again. It is extremely ironic though. I started supporting the Red Devils in 1990, and they finally won the Champions League in 1999.

Right now, after another 9 year cycle, Manchester United is champions again. I do hope I don’t have to wait another 9 years for them to win the famous trophy again. Fuck I would be 37 years old by then. When United had their worst season in 2005/2006, many of my fellow MU ‘fans’ started to abandon the team and lend their support to Chelsea. Bloody glory hunters. Despite their embarrassing showing in that following season, I continued to support them like never before. Ok enough of some of the boring history I had along my support to United.

It’s been awhile since I stayed up late because I no longer practice my usual nocturnal lifestyle as I already planned my visit to a nearby mamak stall. It’s not like United will always get to the European Champions League final on yearly basis so I need to make a point by staying up late tonight (I am so going to be dead later on) to catch the match. I went there alone but I manage to make some friends with some of the United fans. Overall, the match was nerve wrecking in the 2nd half with all the ‘kena tiang’ (not once but thrice!) incidents and every one was jumping from their seats. I didn’t jump.

But I went berserk,

and jumped on the table after I saw these memorable scenes on TV.

The feeling of euphoria is extremely difficult to contain when I thought United are screwed after Ronaldo missed his penalty. Mana tahu John Terry also missed his penalty. He should really thank God that England is not even in Euro 2008 otherwise they are going to screw up in penalties again. I really hate penalties but I am going to make an exception that this would be my favourite penalties of all time. As the team lifted the trophy for the first time since 1999, tears began to flow from my bloated eyeballs. I still cannot sleep, I need some one to inject some sedatives on me.

That was the longest 90 minutes of my life, coupled with heart stopping moments when Heskey nearly scored at the Jual Jam Ban Stadium with his header and it felt like a cardiac arrest. Thankfully I survived the massive ‘heart attack’. Crappy ESPN did not show the celebration which I was looking forward to see. Nevermind then, fortunately we are living in the digital era. I can get them on youtube or bittorrent later. But that’s not the end of it because there’s another 90 minutes for me to endure come 22nd of May 2008. Win or lose, United already did a great job by the reaching the finals of UEFA champions league. Let’s see if the Red Devils are able to reproduce the 1999 Nou Camp magic.

Shocking news did not come only from the 12th Malaysian General Election but also from FA Cup quarterfinals 2008. Manchester United got slayed 1-0 at home while Chelsea suffered a shock defeat against Barnsley FC (aka Barney Fan Club). Anyway the next back at home is more important.  I totally forgotten about Manchester United’s lost because I am too happy at the election results. Can somebody bitchslap me and tell me the big victory for Barisan Rakyat is not a dream?

Now you will see some one who openly declares:-

Ayam the best man for teh blowjob.

By making that vow, he better bring good results. Otherwise when he got sacked again, you will see some like this:-

“I wasn’t allowed to bring in the people I wanted”.

To be fair with Keegan, his records in domestic level is pretty decent to say the least.

Just hope he will not be famously remembered for dropping another 15 points lead in the Premiership again.

I have obvious preferences for sporting goods. Well I’ve always believe that sporting apparels do not aged too fast with time compare to other fashion. Further more it is cheaper to look good that way without feeling too cheap, if you know what I mean. If I were to have my way, I would choose my selection from dick’s sporting goods coupons because I can get all the perks and discounts.
