Like an impotenet pervert, Liverpool went to the old Trafford and in front on an EPL ground record of 75,000 plus we went down 2-0.
We were poor and deservedly lost. Our passing into the last third was shocking and worst still every time there was adeflection of mis header, the ball would end up at a united players feet. Shocking and amnot having a good morning now.
Soon the MU fans will start. Already Metria has been giving it to me but the worse shall come, I know that!
Gerrard looked unimspired, Alonso looked like he could not be creative, Momo worked his butt off but had to do to much. Kuyt worked hard but he needed support from another striker. Rafa got it wrong in the striking department last night, he should have attacked more by playing 2 strikers.
But it is all a moot point. All done and now the hopes of a title challenge are basically dead and buried!
Bargger this all!!

There be 6 random facts here
Well it looks like I have been tagged and the story for today is 6 random facts about myself: So here goes.
1. I once dressed up as Austion Powers and Dr Evil and walked around Perth in the middle of the night acting as the characters.
The story here my friend Mina was having a hens night, yes hens night! Her sister , Lena, was a very good friend of mine and said we should do something to make it different and a bit more memorable. At that point in life we were a bit into the whole secret spy thing and we even had our own make belief spy agency called the “Funky Bunch” - a blog for another day maybe. So we went the whole Austin Powers side of things.
Mina did not know what was happening but she knew about the hens night. She was told to meet at this pub with another friend – the decoy. It was then that I would walk in and “kidnap” her to take her to her hens night. So I walked in to a pub which had about 100 other people sitting there when I walked in as Dr Evil. I had grey suit and a fluffy toy dog (could not find a stuffed cat). I then went about informing her that I was about to kidnap her and at that point realised that the pub had gone eerily quiet and everyone was looking at me!
Of course my friend started to laugh and I managed to keep a straight face but man, was it hard, knowing I was the centre of attention! Then I took her to the room where the rest of the girls were and left. She thought that was it for me but not so!
A few hours later, they were at a bar at a karaoke restaurant in Northbridge when Austin Powers rocked up! Yeah BABY!! (this was me this time with a wig and all the frills, glasses and stuff). I managed to camp it up a bit and everyone had a good laugh singing and partaying to Austin powers. I even got groped by other women from other bridal parties!! Good times!!
2. The only malay words I remember are swear words.
Actually, the only words I know in other languages are swear words. I will not provide examples here.
3. I was so sick that I almost did not make my own wedding reception.
True story, I got sick a few days before I left KL for Perth and I was in terrible shape. I got back home and when reception night came I barely got my clothes on and to the reception. I only stayed 45 minutes. It was terrible. Have to make it up at my sisers or brothers reception!!
4. I profess undying love to…..
Liverpool Football Club. You know it readers so I won’t write any further.
5. I met my wife on the net.
Who says you do not meet any wierdos on the net. Happened to my wife. But the weirdest thing is after we got a little serious and informed our parents we found out that her mum and my dad used to live next door to each other in PJ. So the families are happy…us on the other hand :-P
6. When I was 16 I met this wonderful 2 year old who stole my heart called Sherryn.
However we did not hit things off well and I hurt her back then,
One day I was carrying her around (this was when she let me because she was a little brat then) and she wanted to walk on the car. So I put her there and something distracted me and I turned away and next thing she fell into the window and hurt her lip. Tears erupted and she started to bawl away.
I felt terrible and was scared of telling her mum what happened. I do not think there was any or a whole lot of blood but I still fell terrible to this day about it.
But Sherryn does not remember this event so that is good!

Another boring football blog......
Well the Eagles won a thrilling Grand Final by 1 point. Amazing match and my voice is still a little horse. Celebrations abounded and it was a magical day. Sadly the pool lost to Bolton and to top it off there were some poor decisions – a bad call that led to the first goal and a pretty blatant push by Campo on Kuyt which should have been a penalty and make things 1 all and then interesting.
But because the Eagles won the AFL premiership I kind of got over the loss by Liverpool.
Talking about football I was thinking about the national league here – the A-League. The competition is doing well and crowds in Melbourne are really booming. Last weekend Melbourne Victory attracted 25,000 plus to its match which was on at he same time as another Melbourne team was playing another grand final (that time of the year).
Clearly there is a boom and the A-League should look to expand and grow. Thoughts abound that more teams are needed in Australia in other centres and also more teams in places like Melbourne and Sydney. True but I think we should go outside the borders.
The league needs to head north and tap into the football mad markets in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. All markets have a lot of followers and that adds to a huge audience both at matches and on TV. This leads to greater marketing opportunities and therefore more $$$.
While overseas recently I noted there was talk about Malaysia improving itself and qualify for the 2018 World cup. OK this is a huge dream and really unrealistic but if the A-League expanded and included a Malaysia team comprised mainly of the Malaysia national team members. This team benefits from playing against good competition more regularly which could lead to them raising the quality of the football in the region.
This same formula could be applied to Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. If this experiment works then the A-League (which by now would mean ASIAN League) expands in years to include additional teams from the same countries.
In 10 years time we could have a 15-20 team competition which would rival some of the second tier leagues in Europe. The sport would grow in the region and it would boom times everywhere.
