No Shame In This Defeat...

United were hoping to exorcise the ghost of the 2009 Final against the same team. However, the 'tiki taka' passing game that has become the hallmark of this team punctuated why they are regarded as the best football team on the planet at this moment.

Despite starting brightly as they did in Rome two years ago, United fell behind to a Pedro goal.

Nevermind that Rooney cancelled out that goal seven minutes later, that did not dampen but made Barcelona pressed forward even more with Iniesta & Xavi pulling the strings in midfield.

Then in the 54th minute Wembley witnessed why Lionel Messi is the best player in the world with a superb left foot strike that gave the Catalans the lead.

David Villa completed United's misery in the 69th minute & gave Barcelona the crown to European Football.

I guess it's back to the drawing board for United to plot another path to European glory next season. But there's no shame in this defeat, the best team won.

'Kongsi' worth Kongsi-ing

Just finished watching this movie after several unsuccessful attempts. You see I work on weekends either Saturdays or Sundays, so when I found out that my better half bought this movie on Astro First, I was really looking forward to it.


















However, my little boboi was very annoyed that my attention was not on him. Tantrums were thrown & many tactics plus techniques were put into motion to get me to pay attention to him.


It's a good thing the movie plays on & on non-stop for the next two days, so it's not a problem should I miss it. After little boboi fell asleep, I switched on the tv & found out that Farid Kamil's movie is not bad at all.

I think the whole movie is lively & well-paced. The fighting scenes were enjoyable to watch plus I applaud Shaheizy for doing all those stunts (it looked like he did all of them...? Or did the stunt guys did it?) The dialogs were funny & the scenes depicted were hilarious! I personally enjoyed when a car of kongsi gelap gangsters were suddenly transformed into 'Pak Hajis & Lebais' when they came to a road-block by the PDRM.

The car chase were also well done. Although I wonder whether PDRM really gave their consent to have their patrol cars smashed up? Hmmmm....

Another funny scene was how Shaheizy aka Tumulak can't figure out how to assemble a sniper rifle in order to carry out his assignment. It's funny when you see him struggling with it. Also was when he 'tortured' his hostage! That was funny too!

Anyway, Shaheizy is a talented actor & I can see why he is highly regarded. I would pay good money to watch his movies. For those who have not caught it, do also watch 'Adnan Sempit'.

















So go ahead & kongsi watch this 'Kongsi' movie! It's worth it.

Owen Exit

No, not Michael Owen. But Owen Hargraves.










I just read that Man.United will not be offering him a new contract. He was an integral part of the squad that helped MU seal the double of BPL Championship & UCL Cup in his first season with the club.


Such a pity for him. Injuries has hampered his career & he has only made 39 appreances for MU in his four years there.

Daddy's Boy

Tomorrow is IJN day.







Another appointment from the last six months.

Another long drive to Jalan Tun Razak.

Another long wait before it's your turn to see the Cardio Paed.

Another long wait to see the Genetics Doctor after lunch.

Another opportunity to re-visit the one place where Allah SWT choose to test my wife & I by almost taking our son away,

the one place where Allah SWT taught us the true meaning of patience & humility,

the powers of Doa',

the powers of Solat Hajat,

the powers of redha'

and where Allah SWT gave our son back to us with new hope, joy & lots of kesyukuran.

Another trip down memory lane.

Each step I take down IJN's corridoors reminds me of all those things, and I thank Him The Almighty for showing me how small I am & how short life is, and how to Thank Him for giving me this one human being as my amanah.....

Alhamdulillah.....

Auditers=Busybodies...!

Today most of my time was spent in the Security Room because there's only one thing I hate more than a busybody.....it's auditers!

Yep, they came...they took all my files....they interrogated me (only in the morning)....and they dumped all the files on my table when they're done...Stupid people! "Simpan la balik mana ko amik tadi, bodo!"



















This was the third audit my team had to go through. First it was internal audit, then fixed asset audit and now...finance audit. I know these auditers people are just doing their jobs but I can't help but be offended & 'meluat' when they start to question me.

As if I'm gonna 'steal' money or 'hide' cheques. First of all, my job does not allow me to accept cash for rental payments. And two, all payment cheques are crossed cheques. So there's no issue of 'lost' payment. And all documents are in place where it should be.

So, all you auditers aka 'busybodies' can go fly kites & 'menyemak' somewhere else...!

Sweet 19..!

We've got out trophy back!














A draw was all that was needed to confirmed Man.United as BPL Champions for a record 19th time. Despite trailing to a Brett Emerton goal, United drew level through a Wayne Rooney penalty.

Rooney did admit he was 'terrified' before taking the penalty that would see the Red Devils overtaking Liverpool as the club with the most championships in England.

So now...onward to Wembley to conquer Europe...! Lookout Messi & Co.

Why are some people like that...?

Why are some people just so rude? I received a phone call today from a potential tenant, but her manners was just plain....well to be honest.... 'cibai'..!

Do you call someone and say "Eii ini sapa ah?"

What the fish?! was my first reaction. And she proceeded to talk rudely.

It just goes to show it doesn't matter how much money you have or make, when you have no manners, you are just another fucked up moron.

You can be hipped, have a business, drive an expensive car, but without proper manners....you are just another 'cibai mother-fucker'...and all I'm gonna say to you is "Fuck U & Piss Off"...

Inter are Champions!

Inter Milan are back at the summit of European football. A convincing 2-0 win over Bayern Munchen of Germany assured the Italians as worth treble winners this season.

Two goal hero Diego Milito had only two shots on target but he made it count & converted both of them.














Jose Mourinho aka "The Special One" has worked his magic again. Ironically it was two of Madrid's "rejects" who were playing in the final, Arjen Robben of Bayern & Wesley Sneidjer of Inter. I guess now Real Madrid realise how foolish they were to sell these two.















Rumour has it that Mourinho is now planning to swap Italian football for Spanish football, and it seems Real Madrid will be his most likely destination. Jose's tough no-nonsense approach will surely shake up the squad & put all those 'Galaticos' egos in their place.
















"There are no stars in a team. The players are not the stars, the manager is not the star. The entire team is the star"

Well said Jose. Whip those Galacticos into shape. Show them who is boss.

UEFA Europa: Diego Seals It

Diego Forlán struck with four minutes of extra time remaining as Atlético Madrid ended a 48-year wait for major continental silverware, beating Fulham FC 2-1 in the inaugural UEFA Europa League final.

There had been little to choose between the sides throughout. Forlán and Simon Davies exchanged first-half goals then, as fatigue set in, they matched each other for endeavour. Yet as those around him tired the Uruguayan international gained energy.

With the lottery of a penalty shoot-out looming, Forlan did just enough to divert Sergio Agüero's cross into the far corner via Brede Hangeland. The wait was over.

Credit I must say to Fulham to come so close to winning a European title. Nobody gave the Cottagers a chance of reaching the quaters, let alone play in the final. Names like Hamburg SV were touted to run riot over this London club & make the final because it was played at their home stadium. But Fulham should be proud & held their heads up high for reaching a major European final. Now they can build on this experience & try again next season. They did better than their other London rivals i.e. Chelshit, opps I mean Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham & Arse-nal.


Well done to Roy Hodgson for leading Fulham FC! My hat's off to you!

The P - Towers

Another shocker! Either it's vandalism or the building management missed it. Take a look below:

















Anyway, must be one heck of a tower, eh? Hmmmmm....

Copies Gone Bonkers...!

Saw this on my friend's facebook wall.

Expilian.....? Maybe it's "Experience" - the copywriter can't seem to find the BM word for it. And what's "menyadapi" & "menmasan"...? Or Mama San?


















Here's another. This one has proper english, but either the Editor was half-awake or was in a horny mood when he approved this headliner.

















Nice one eh? Hahaha! Guess what it was one of our local dailies.

The New Kit 2010/11.....is it?

Latest info:

I don't know whether this is true of not, got these pictures from a buddy of mine, but check out Manchester United's supposedly new jersey for 2010/11 season!


The Home jersey:




















Looks much better than the current one. The "Chevron" stripe is just a turn-off for me. That's why I refuse to get one this season.


The Away jersey:




















As usual, United will be sticking to the traditional black & white colors for the Away kit.


The 3rd Strip:



















Reminiscent of Cantona's era?






















Or did United's designers got inspired from this? LOL...!













Go Kedah Hijau Kuning! Heheh...

Champs in Blue...

So, Chelshiiit.....opss I mean Chelsea won it on the very last day.

Although United did all that they could by beating Stoke 4-0 at home, it was not enough to prevent The Blues from lifting the BPL title with a 8-0 thrashing of Wigan in Stamford Bridge.













Once I saw Steven Caldwell red-carded & 'Lampoop' scoring the penalty, I already knew that the West Londoners were going to be crowned Champions.






















To me the turning point to this season was when United failed to beat Blackburn to surge forward & build that gap at the top after Chelsea had already lost to Tottenham. Had United won that match, they would have been a significant gap between them & Chelsea. It would also be a psychological blow to Chelsea. But United missed that boat.

So, congrats to Chelsea......but United will be back next season to win that title.

Transfer Speculations

With the BPL fast approaching its final matches, transfer rumours are already playing & a few names have caught my attention.

Luka Modric is being pursuit by Sir Alex as a possible replacement for Paul Scholes. The little Croatian has great range of passing, a good footballing brain, coupled with good acceleration, vision & technique.

No disrespect, but I think United should go for Miguel Veloso of Sporting Lison. In my book, Veloso is a better suited player for United's style of play. He's fast, reads the game very well, good tackling ability (unlike Scholesy), and a mean left foot.

Another player it seems who hinted that he might be interested in United is Valencia's David Silva. He would be a very good signing as replacement for Giggs. He's super quick, great dribbling abilities & very effective on the flanks.

Quote from footballfancast.com:

"Silva in no uncertain terms is receptive to the Premier League. More specifically: Manchester United. Though Antonio Valencia has excelled this season, and Nani has markedly improved, neither possesses the kind of versatility & vision that Silva has to offer"

This boy would be a good long term signing for Man.United.

It seems Chelsea have all but agreed to sign Sergio 'Kun' Aguero from Atletico Madrid for 40 million pounds. Rumours has it that a deal is set & will be concluded soonest possible.

Guess who is heading back to White Hart Lane? Michael Carrick! He's gone down the pecking order in Fergie's squad. With Scholesy still playing well & if Veloso comes to Old Trafford, Carrick's days at MU are numbered. This would thrilled Carrick's former boss Harry Redknapp who managed him at West Ham.

Taking It To the Wire

It was a hard fought victory for Man.United when they had to overcome an aggressive Sunderland to win 1-0 at the Stadium of Light to take the BPL title to the very last day.


A superb first half strike from Portuguese winger Nani put United ahead after piling on the pressure. It could have been a lot more comfortable scoreline had Dimitar Berbatov put on his shooting boots.

The Bulgarian contrived to miss three of the simplest of chances, firstly a tap-in from Rooney's pass, the second a header from the former Everton forward's pinpoint cross and the final one a header from a yard out.

It proved too much for Ferguson to bear as he hoiked his £32million. This Berbatov is one dumb wanker! Why la Fergie wants him I have no idea. Those were three easy-peasy chances & this wanker can't convert none of them.






















Now it will take a monumental effort from Wigan to take anything from Stamford Bridge next Sunday and in all probability they won't - but all Sir Alex Ferguson's players can do is win their game at home to Stoke and pray.

Gerrard: The Dumb-Ass Scouser Wanker

I watched in horror when Stevie G committed a stupid back pass that handed Didier Drogba a simple opening goal in the first half and later Frank 'Lampoop' added a second after the break for Chelsea to win 2-0 at Anfield.

The result ensured Chelsea remained in pole position to win their first BPL title for four years but also finally put paid to the Merseysiders' hopes of securing Champions League football next season.

I was hoping that Liverpool were going to put up a serious fight to secure that Champions League spot for next season, but instead watch this one-time great English team playing like a bunch of M-League side.

Bodo betul la Gerrard ni! You can't pull a back pass you dumb-ass Scouser! Back in 2006 you set up Henry "beautifully" for a calm and collected goal. Then you also committed a similar back-pass against France in Euro 2004 that led to a Zinedine Zidane penalty. WTF!

You wanker! You should've gone to Madrid when you had the chance instead of just rotting away at Liverpool.

Angling For A Move

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits he has been left disappointed by comments recently attributed to Andrei Arshavin when he admitted his admiration for Barcelona.
















Arshavin - signed from Zenit St Petersburg during January last year - talked up Barcelona, who knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League, and claimed playing for the Spanish giants at some stage would be ''would be the peak of my career''.

However, his comments have evoked a response from his manager as Wenger maintains all of his players should respect their own club.

''Yes, I am very disappointed because he shows a completely different attitude,'' said Wenger. ''He wants to extend his contract with us and stay with us, so the noise coming out of Russia is very difficult to explain. He looks to be very happy here, so you should ask him where it comes from.

''We do not, of course, accept that. When you are at Arsenal, you are at Arsenal. When you are somewhere else, you are somewhere else.

''I believe that your pride makes first that you defend your club. Everybody has the freedom to speak, but you want to make sure first of all that you respect your club.''

Wenger, though, admitted he has reservations about the source of the quotes.

''I just put one question mark behind the things that come back translated,'' he said. ''Usually you have direct access to him, you can ask him where that comes from.

''I don't forbid you to talk to him, but I take with a little bit of distance what comes back translated sometimes with the help of some agents who want to move the players.''

Hiya Mr Wenger your little Ruski wants to move away from London lah. He's not winning trophies at Arsenal, plus Andrei is gonna be 29 soon, where got much time left to play Champions League & win it...He's frustrated & can't wait anymore la.

I'm not an EPL manager & I can see it coming already.

Lyon in Champions League Final.....The Women's Team Not The Men's!

Lyon's female team succeeded where their men's side failed as they progressed to the UEFA Women's Champions League final.

Olympique Lyonnais's female team succeeded where their men's side failed last night as a goalless draw at Umeå IK proved enough for a place in next month's UEFA Women's Champions League final in Madrid.

Clearance Sale! Hurry! Hurry!

Struggling English Premier League clubs West Ham United & Hull City have put almost all their star players up for sale.
















West Ham have put up every player except Scott Parker. The clear-out comes less than 72 hours after The Hammers finally beat the drop.

Joint-owner David Sullivan said: "Parker is not for sale. He has several years left on his contract and has intimated on several occasions he wants to stay. He is Mr West Ham."
















But it looks like England trio of Robert Green, Matthew Upson & Carlton Cole will all be up for grabs as the club try to trim a 60 million pounds wage bill.

As for Gianfranco Zola, he is '99%' gone as boss for next season, according to Upton Park insiders.

Meanwhile, Hull City will offload most of their best-known players as a result of their impending relegation from the Premier League .


















High earners Jimmy Bullard, Geovanni, Anthony Gardner, Stephen Hunt, Kamil Zayatte & Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink are all expected to be put up for sale this summer as the club battle to avoid going into administration, a move that would mean starting life in the Second Division with a 10-point penalty.

Club chairman Adam Pearson admitted last week that administration was a very real possibility for a club who are 35 million pounds in debt.

So any rich Arab Sheikh or Malaysian billionaire interested in buying?

Dreaming of Barcelona

Andrei Arshavin a long time Barcelona fan, still dreams of playing for the Spanish giants one day.















"Even playing for just one season for Barcelona would make a pinnacle of my whole career"

The Russian added: "Barca are the best team in the world and I enjoy their style of play so much. But after watching them against Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals the enjoyment turned to sorrow".

"They're so much better than anybody else at the moment"


















Hmmmm looks like little Andrei is angling for a move to sunny Spain. He's turning 29 next month & that means it is time for a move because in footballing terms, he doesn't have much playing years left, and staying at Arsenal does not guarantee Champions League glory, which is what I believe he is chasing.
