Yep, that’s what EPL is all about. Yesterday was a hectic day for me. I was supposed to meet up Inaleem to visit Che Pah and her newborn. At the same time, I promised a fren that I’ll help to show her sister where Roh@s Perk@s@ is since she’s going to attend an interview there.

All changed when I went to Super* shop. A new car accessories dealer hit Amp*ng area and there was I walking thru the aisle browsing stuffs I wanted to add in to Encik Satria. Ahh.. here u go. I’d always wanted an extra alarm for my car and this one looks ok.

After asking the salesperson on the specs and what ‘extra’ added value can the car alarm gave me I am convinced that this is what I am looking for but can this be install on top of my current car alarm? The guy said ‘No’ You need to chg all. What? I dun need all, I just want to have extra alarm for Encik Satria’s 2 doors. Why would I chg the whole thing when I am pretty happy wit it.

All this while I heard people installed 2 car alarms skali this chap told me no. ‘Can’t u modify them?’ I asked. Tah hape dia ckp ngan mamat mechanic tu so I just went on to browse other stuffs. ‘Kalau tak boleh tak pe, save jugak duit, maybe brand ni mmg tak bley nak install on top of other alarm kot’, I told myself.
Hmm.. this one looks good too. Another stuffs I have been eyeing quite a while. Eh not bad jugak price dia ni, so ape lagi I told the guy I want ‘this’ to be installed in my car too. He happily took it and told me that they can modify the alarm and put it on top of the current one. Bagus!

The installation shud take not more than an hour the salesperson told me. Ok. I’ll walk around and get some drinks. ‘Buat cantek2 tau!’ I told him. I then walked around that area, igt nak window2 shopping tp goodness, punye la ramai manusia dimuka bumi ini. Nak tgk2 pon susah, budak2 kecik lari sane sini. Aiyoo! Spoilt betol!

I decided to go back to the shop and watch the guy install the car alarm. Sampai kat situ aik makin ramai ppl visiting the shop. Ye la, new shop.. cuti lagi. Mule2 tu duduk je la.. skali tgk jam dah 1 jam lebih mamat tu belom lagi siap2. Ape hal plak ni? I went and check out the salesperson, "Apsal kereta saya belom siap?" "Sori kak, ade sket susah mau modify itu alarm". ‘Aik.. u bukan terror ke?’ Sambil tersengih2 dia suruh aku tgg lagi 1 jam. Oh ok. Aku pon berjalan2, few guys came up to me and asked where I bought the bumper. ‘Br*thers’.

Seblah Encik Satria parked a kancil. Wah.. so lucky coz the boss chg almost everything, from skirting to dvd and speaker set. Dahsyat! Untung la ko keta! Kalau la Encik Satria boleh ckp mmg la dia kate tuan dia ni kedekut nak beli mcm2. Eh, jimat la! Hehe. So, I gave them buffer and went to the nearest bank to pay all my bills. Nearly 1 and half hour still tak siap2 lagi. Apehal la mamat ni!

Terus I went to the mechanic and asked him the update. He told me he had difficulty to set the alarm. ‘Huh? U hv difficulty to do that or u dunno how to do that?’ I asked. He said ‘Susah sket la kak’ My angin is already not good. Something isn’t rite. It took them 3 hours to installed the alarm alone and 1 hr to install a new gear knob. I jam nak install gear knob!

Wat the heck! But wait, that wasn’t worst enuff to hit me, my power window wasn’t functioning! Makin bertambah la angin jadiknye. Lucky I realized that when I do final checking on my car. By now, the head mechanic came and told me, he’ll check it for me. Ha… do it NOW. I want this sorted!

Sudahnye, they have to re-open everything and check out the wiring. Yep, wiring suda ade problem. Kesian my fren waited @ LRT for almost 2 hours. Sib baik Zash ade to the rescue. The salesperson came to me and apologized. ‘No need. Lain kali mcm mane mau rekomen sama kawan mcm ni u all buat keje?’

‘Sori kak. Lain kali dtg kite bagi byk lagi discount.’ Discount? And I hv to waste my time waiting for it for almost 6 hours? Bloody hell! Cuak jugak la nak bawak keta tu mula2. Ye la kot ape2 tanggal tgh jalan ke. I never experienced this when I went to Br*thers. Sume ok jek. I dun think I want to visit the same shop ever!

For now, I hope the alarm works fine and the gear knob tak tercabut! *Sigh!* Sbb spending so much time outside the house, I did not check out the latest football gossip. Not until today when I went to office. Tevez and Macherano are Hammers? What?

Betol ke ape aku baca ni? Setelah 2,3 kali refreshing the website, it is finally confirmed that both duo are @ Hammers. This is shocking! Super shocking! Hebat! Congrats to Hammers. And to Liverfools who laugh MU out coz Hammers beat us to their signature, mind ur f**king club’s business!

I know by then, every MU fans are getting more anxious as the season starting to gear up. We have no other addition except for Carrick. It’s ok. Let’s work together and keep on winning matches. Dun bother abt ppl laughing at our squad. Keep winning MU.. keep winning!

“What a resurgence Ryan Giggs has undergone in the past 18 months. Man Utd’s veteran winger has always been an excellent player, but he looks like a brand new one after yet another impressive display against Watford. Helping to set up the first and scoring the second, Giggs showed why he is considered one of the very best to have graced the Premiership. If only he had chosen to play for England.”

From Soccernet.com

England? Better stick it wit Wales.

Ryan Giggs scored and secured all 3 points for MU! Yippie! To be honest it wasn’t an easy game. We lost Neville, and wit Scholesy and Roo still out serving 3 match ban, we look like incomplete side. I didn’t catch the line up screen coz I was busy talking to a friend but I was surprise to see Carrick.

And yes, he did further surprise me with his slow and average performance and was outdone several times by the opponent. Seriously, we are lucky to get away with a win. Not that I underestimate the opponent but looking at our side clumsy passing, slow defending and at times were made chasing the ball around was irritating.

Carrick did nothing to help the defence nor the attack. In fact both our CM - Fletch and Carrick did nothing! As stated in previous post, I dunno how Carrick was - I mean when he was in Spurs. If ’slowness’ or ‘clumsiness’ is what he did while he was in Spurs, that’s purely unacceptable in MU. WAKE UP man! Ur no longer in White Hart Lane! And I dun tolerate player like you!

To wear no 16 is a big responsibility. You gotto live up and honour the shirt given to you. I didn’t see him working his way and pushing the team forward. Luckily, one club man - Giggsy was in no mood to accept defeat nor draw. He was the man who push forward. Funny rite? Old man yet, still works better than the younger ones?

I thot Fergie shud keep playing O’Shea in the middle for the meantime and let Brown takes control on the right side. O’Shea was horrible when he took over Neville’s place. Yeah, his big, but he’s slow to track back the opponent,and he’s unable to do any dummy run to help Ron. Frustration was seen as Fergie was shouting to his players and ordered them to keep the ball. He even asked the opponent manager to get out of his way as he was talking to the 4th official. Super angin pakcik Fergie mase tu!

Another injury worry for MU was Ferdinand. He will be out for England Euro 2008 qualifier with suspected broken toe. Isk.. how long will he be out? I hope not that long coz we’ve not enuff defenders - Pique and Bardsley were on loan remember? And yes, hopefully Gabi can make his comeback againts Spurs. This is the real challenge for us.

On a lighter note, I am happy to see all MU players chipping in their bits and score goals. We dun have to depend on 1 person, though I really hope Saha can score more goals. All his chances was terrificly saved by the opponent keeper. Nevermind, you’ll get more goals!

Carrick, I hope you know by then, how Fergie works and why Fergie bought you. Not for a stroll in a park for sure. This is Old Trafford we’re talking abt. Keep scoring goals and keep winning. Dun bother if Arse loose. We need to keep winning and score more goals. Giggsy, keep playing like that! Ur the man!

The long lost cheer song has finally arrived in The Valley. Nope. Not from the home supporters but thanks to 3 superb build up Manchester United goals. And of course, 1 goal courtesy of 99 hero, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. Yeay!! I wasn’t feeling well last night or shall I say morning. I had my first futsal game after almost 1 and a half year resting due to wrist surgery.

Smalam mase main futsal pon keep on keeping my left hand close to me. Tp ade jugak mase lari2 lupe yg tgn tu kena jaga jgn injured. Anyway, futsal game had nothing to do with MU’s win last nite(morning?) but since lama kan tak turun padang, pancit la ape lagi. Mcm tak mampu nak jalan pon ade.

I was thinking - ‘larat ke tonite nak bgn tgk game?’ As usual I told myself, if I can wake up, I’ll watch the game otherwise, baca je la report kat soccernet.com Thank God, my biological clock woke me up and there I am sitting rite in front of the tv, tuning in to ESPN.

This wasn’t an easy game and yes, MU struggled in the first half. Mane taknye, of all people Fergie deployed Fletcher in centre midfield. Meleset semata prediction aku! Without Scholes and Roo kesian tgk Giggs and Saha struggle to get away from 3 markers. Ronaldo as predicted, was booed everytime he touches the ball and was cheered everytime he was fouled or blast his shot wide.

Fletcher was ‘missing’ in the first half. Nasib aje la, Charlton not taking full advantage of some poor defending. Seriously, we were very lucky in the first half in terms of defending and unlucky not to score in more than 3 ocassions - Park’s shot was saved by the opponent keeper, Giggsy’s freekick was ’saved’ by the post, Ronaldo’s hot shot drill was again saved by the post. Even the commentator pon agreed, Charlton had the post as their 13th player.
Before the second half begin, Giggsy was seen talking to Fletcher perhaps asking him to get more involved in the build up play. And yes, he looks totally different in the second half. Much more better. Maybe he was given hair dryer treatment by Fergie? If yes, it’s good that he responded it with the goal that broke the deadlock.

It was a well taken goal I must say. Taking full advantage of the opponent’s defend error, he took the ball, dummied the defenders and put the ball nice and steady in the net. I smiled. Haa.. pandai pon redeemed himself. Kalau tak siap la ko! *Emosi* We looked a different side and a different class in the second half. Though there’s time for Charlton to hit back but our defence did really a good job.

The second goal came from the man tipped to fill in Ruud’s boot this season - Saha. And yes, he responded with a great goal. Saha, chest down a long ball from Wes Brown turning away from his marker as if as he’s going to pass to Ronaldo on his left, and score with only the keeper in front of him. Sumer org igt dia nak pass to Ronaldo so sumer pakat pegi to Ronaldo. Clever! Very clever goal!

I even thought Saha cud get 2nd goal only to head Giggsy’s corner wide. Syg! On came Solksjaer for Giggsy. The man was given hot reception by the visitor’s fans. Lama woo dia tak main. Oh I forgot to mention that Carrick was given a run replacing Park. I didn’t realized he was on the reserves list.

Carrick was later released on the far right side running away from his marker and passing the ball for Solksjaer to score only for Carson to make a super block preventing Solksjaer’s name on the scoresheet. But it was another great build up play from MU when Saha cross the ball inside the penalty box. Everyone miss it but not Solksjaer - unmarked, he tuck in the ball nicely in the net then salute the fans.
3 GOALS! Yeay! Keep on winning MU. Keep on winning. Dun bother abt other team’s result. Yeah, Chel$ki loose to Boro. Good news but we can’t depend on them to loose. We need to win. Keep winning. Keep winning! Keep scoring goals! Come on MU!

Yep.. big grin from ma face. U see dat? Dats the smiles I have long not shown to anyone.. hehehe. it’s the MU season opening game. We beat Fulham 5-1. We? Erkk.. mcm la aku main.. But who cares? Wohoooooooooo! Fulham are lucky enuff to pull 1 back off Rio’s deflection.

When I first saw the lineup I was a bit curious. Looks uncomfortable coz Heinze was missing from the back four. But surprise, surprise, Evra was excellent thru out the 90 mins and pull out a couple of great tackles to win the ball. Kewl!

Not forgetting the tempo we started was just awesome. everyone looks energetic and sharp. Did you see how giggsy cross the ball and Saha head it to the net? Mcm thunderbolt, sharp and accurate!

You think thats enuff? Wait till you see Roo’s cross which was met by Ronaldo from the other end of the penalty area. Marvelous! We had couples of chances, like Scholes drill which was ’saved’ by the post and deflected Nieme’s back, only for the opponent’s keeper speedy recovery prevented the ball to turn in to goal.

Nieme’s point blank save, once again prevented Saha from adding his name to the scoresheet but there was Roo to drill it to the corner of the net. Yeayyyy!! Old Trafford roars once more.

Giggsy however had been yellow carded for lunging Brown from behind minutes after Brown fouling him. Brown was spotted putting his boot on Giggsy’s shin which saw Fergie running and shouting to the ref from the sideline. I think he did make a point coz Brown deliberately sticking his stud to Giggsy. It’s funny though coz Giggsy did not stop complaining and confronting Brown.

Fergie did a wise step, keeping Giggsy out of the confrontation and pull him out. Park took over and so is Solkjaer the 99 hero replacing Saha. Yep, we had 3 games in 6 days so its wise to rest some players. Charlton will be their next opponent. Not sure whether I can watch this or not - 2.55am *goodness*

MU will be without Scholes and Roo for the next 3 games. I dunno how Fergie gonna put his squad. I hope he did not pick Fletcher in the midfield. PLEASE Fergie. I expect Giggs to take over from Scholes, and both Park and Ronaldo will start on each flank. If Heinze recovers, I do think Fergie will try to put Evra on the left flank if he continue to be excellent, he cud be useful.

I guess O’Shea will still start until Carrick is back in the team. Rossi cud also be on the bench. I hope Fergie starts Saha and Solkjaer, get as many early goals as possible and rest some key players for next game. Remember, no Roo and Scholes for 3 games so they need to work harder.

Whatever it is, keep on silencing the snipers. There’s light and there’s hope. People may look down on us, coz we just bought Carrick minus Ruud. Keep winning MU! Keep winning!

Yeay!! 5 more days to go before the EPL season kick off. Yippie! Bored la no soccer. Pundits are putting their money on Chel$ki *again* with MU 2nd. Some even said Liv are better than MU for the coming season. *Sigh* Better kot jadik underdog jek. This time around let the football do the talking.

Come on MU!
