The Two Uncles

Uncle Scholesy and Uncle Gigssy! Class act. Although truth be told, I can't complaint if Norwich were to get something from the game. They really played well. Nice flowing football although a bit robust at the beginning.

We were indebted to the brilliance of De Gea who has slowly but surely trying to cope with the physical side of the English game. But the equaliser was a long time coming. It was just a question of when. Luckily, United managed to find a couple of gears after the goal and was getting closer and closer.

The equaliser was a sucker punch. A cross field ball from Ashley Young, and creeping on the back stick was the veteran playing his 900th game for United. Typical United. Getting the winner in the 92nd minute. As the saying goes, United never lose a game, we just ran out of time ....

The Ritual

True to the ritual, despite it raining heavily, I got them tandoori. United are playing Norwich tonight and this is a game we can't afford to slip.

Tandoori in hand. I shall be wearing my new United top, and looking forward for a win.

Pacepalm

Rushing back from the hospital, I missed the handshake that never was. Evra offered a handshake. Suarez pretended that Evra did not exist - by the way, Evra is black, of course he does not exist. Such a disgrace. No place for that in football.

The scene in the end - the Evra celebration - was also something which we could also do without. After all, the points were already been won, and made. We won on the day. And Evra could have shown a bit more class but toning down the celebration a wee bit. But in the grand scheme of things, he might have though, "why not?".

There was no doubt that United deserved the win. We played better and we were hungrier. The Suarez goal was there to add a bit of spice, but nothing more. Rooney certainly had taken his goals well.

We are top of the league for at least another 24 hours. Citeh would be playing tomorrow. Hopefully I would be able to catch the game tomorrow at the Doctor's Lounge. I would be on call tomorrow.

Both Suarez and Dalglish had since issued apology on their conduct. Can't really make out what to make of it ....

Liverpool .....

I had just finished reviewing my admission and was about to leave the hospital before I realised that I might as well get the tandoori from the shop by the hospital rather than having to stop for it halfway.

The excitement was definitely building for the big match this evening and I must say, I can't wait to hear how loud the boo would be every time Luis "everyone in the team call him a Negro" Suarez gets the ball. One hope he gets a kick or two on his big behind as well for good measure.

Here's hoping for a good game, and a good tandoori!

Stop Over

We decided to break the journey by stopping at the Johor Premium Outlets. It was better than I anticipated but clearly the place is a work in progress with most of the shops being a couple of months old. They were still doing the carpark and not all the outlets were opened as yet.

None the less, I got myself a Man United long sleeve top for RM150. Certainly you can't beat that. According to the girl at the till, the price varies day by day, and it certainly is cheaper during weekdays like today.

The message got through to Puan Anita. So, here we go .....
