Football…my cup of milo
Many people often question me about my passion for football. Even my mum asked me why am I interested in it when no one else in the family is. Haha… I can’t even give an answer. Football is not a game where 22 grown-ups are chasing a ball. A lot of people will think that it’s stupid to watch people chasing one ball. But if you can prove to me that (even for a second) 22 of them are chasing it together, I will never ever watch football again. It’s a game of strategy, and…well…and it’s a game! Start to develope interest in football and Arsenal when I’m still in Primary 4. Supported the team since then and idolise Ian Wright with some friends who supported McManamann (ling), Ronaldo(keat meng), Beckham(dan). Even when Wrighty went to West Ham, my love is still with Arsenal…though I started to take notice on the Hammers. So guys, when Gunners are Hammered by a last minute goal, it didnt break my heart as much as you guys hope for. LOL…my love for football continues on with some crazy supporters now (coursemates).
You may still be asking the question "Football, Huh?". Here goes the kick off…Arsenal with the ball accelerating to the front much faster than those Mat Rempits. Football doesn’t disturb the neighbourhood as much at Rempits do and it certainly will not make you fly thru the air when you hit a stone. Well…except for Robben (Chelsea) who will fall down with the slightest touch of an opposition. But for the majority of footballers, they’re certainly more skillfully fast than ‘brother Mats’. And the referee will certainly not ‘close one eye’ if there are dangerous play. Players will get warning cards or are sent off if they dun play by the rules. So, Mr Jasin, why are lowly paid referees doing their job while highly paid people are to close ‘their eye’ on your advice?
Even rich footballers build mansion, but they wont be that brainless to build it in a low cost area. What more by blaming their architect. I certainly dont mind footballers living in castles as they play a beautiful game which entertains people. But for those who only sit in their offices thinking of marrying 4 wifes, do you think you deserve a mansion? Another thing that I like about football is how new managers protect the integrity of those that they succeed. You’ll never hear Mourinho (even when he’s an @ss) complaining much bout Vialli, Benitez bout Houllier or Mclaren on Ericsson. Every manager has their own style of football. The criticism will only brings unrest to the spectators. That’s why I prefer to read the back pages of newspapers rather than the fronts.
Oh…half time…time to order some snacks. Shall I eat pork? hmmm…too much news on beta-agonist these days. Shall I eat chicken? hmmm…bird flu, can’t be too safe. How bout teh tarik then? Contains caffeine too…By this time, the ‘Non Bangsa Malaysia’ waiter is starting to curse me for time wasting. Hey, ‘guy_who_cant_understand_English&Malay’, i guess you just understand Roti Prata, Roti Banana, Roti Rectangular eh?
Second half gonna start soon…Arsenal with their fluent football as smooth as the streamyx line. Ops! They’re facing Everton who just defends for the whole 90 minutes. People will always enjoy Arsenal for their non-stop play but there will always be opposition waiting to stop them from their smooth play. It’s hard to find a way through and that is why I’m always signing in and out of MSN. The only time that I watch Arsenal playing defensively is during their trip to Villareal, but why are they being condemn when other teams are doing it every time? Mayb life is really unfair. They’ll find a chance to criticise those who are playing by the rules.
Players and managers in EPL (English Premier League) are standing tough on their fight against racism these days. When you’re on the pitch, it doesn’t matter whether you’re black or you’re white, doesn’t matter whether you’re an English or you’re not. But somehow, people (especially Mr Pardew) will still criticise Arsenal on their lack of Englishmen. For me, if your vision is for a united team, what difference does it makes if there are only 18% or 45% Bumis….er…i mean English. The important thing is for a team to play well. If you’re not good, you cant play. As simple as that. Why the discrimination and quota stuff?
Whoa!!! What a wonderful goal by AssAnal. Watching the great goal and the way they celebrate really pumps up my adrenalin. Those guys piling up on the goal scorer, patting his back, hugging him…Anyway, for me it’s only acceptable for guys to hug during some type of celebration. Not any other time such as holding hands while on a bike. So, please think twice before doing anything with your guy fren in public. It really strain people eyes…Haha…
A football match is not just a match as it tells you more than that. Though I’m a fan of F1, i doubt that it will be as interesting as football. Even after the transformation of Iceman to Fireman…

Yeah Derk!!! hahaha one of my football kaki…well eventhough you are not as crazy as me and Allen but still can fight lar..hehe…with such a lot of different people supporting different team, it is nice cos sometimes we can teasing each other around, but hey, we all took it with an open heart..haha.
Arsenal no doubt is good in front with the pace they have is really interesting. However, recently Arsenal just losing their grip and Henry is not as shine as last season. He did not make it behind the goal line where there was an easy chance. Anyway, I support Man U a lot, with the lost to Southern really pissed me off..but hope they can win title this season. Anyway, for football lover, we all will find football is interesting eventhough my father will said what you gain from shouting here and there when they score, well I guess it’s hard to answer because every game you watch it will pump ur adrenaline up and your mood will be carried away by the game especially when your favourite team is on the pitch. I just want to watch a nice game, no matter what the result is, I tend to enjoy most of the time even the Devils is lost. Haha Derk, I think I can bet there is no one can beat me when comparing the money that had been spend in Alif..hahahah

This post doesn’t address football in depth. I guess this is what Johor’s MB referred to as rojak! A bit of football, a bit of mansion; a bit of football, a bit of Streamyx; a bit of football, a bit of equity; a bit of football, a bit of “gay”. Derk, you are really…wow!

Oh my God, don’t even mention Johor MB in my presence… he is… gosh…
but back to football, yeah i loved beckham since i was in primary school, before he got famous. i have an eye for good footballers.
and about mansions etc, i dont think footballers deserve the wages they are paid, although they do sacrifice a lot for the game. still, there are more people who worked harder than footballers but make less money.
and finally, can someone remind me why i hate the johor mb?

ohh…never interested in football but i do watch some matches once in awhile. for me, its quite fun to be able to spend time with my coursemates and yell together when any teams score coz i’m not supporting any teams.
