Welcome To My Life

My first ever entry to blog, partly sparked by the reading of another blog by a long lost friend from primary school. her thoughts ever so well written triggers images all the way back to the times when we were still at a young and tender age. What she spoke only served as reminder. She had written of her experience at the theatre of dreams just last saturday. For all you people out there who don't know what the heck i m talking about, The Thearte of Dreams is Old Trafford, home of the world's most famous club. While she was there soaking up the atmosphere of yet another victory over Blackburn Rovers, i was home in Singapore abeit 7 hrs different watching the Red Devils via a plasma screen. Is there no better way to watch the Devils play by going through those turnstiles that millions plough through every season? This thought went through my mind instantly. It only made me ever more determinded to visit Old Trafford some time in the near future. The thought of stepping on the very same pitch that Eric Cantona once graced. The goalposts in which Peter Schmeichel once kept goal in.The very same piece of turf in which George Best,once so graceful but who has seemed fallen to the ills of alcoholism had strutted his stuff. The dressing rooms in which current stars such as Ryan Giggs,Paul Scholes and Ruud Van Nistlerooy change their kit in on match day.this was simply the club that made David Beckham perhaps the most recognisable face in football today.Without United,there would be no David Beckham.i always had felt that his falling out with Sir Alex was a real pity both in a footballing and commercial sense.Beckham at his peak would surely be worth more than the supposed 25m pounds that would enter United's coffers after the final instalment would be paid.As a Man Utd supporter who has witnessed the meteoric rise of Beckham from the very time in which he was loaned to Preston North End to the very first time he played for England to the most recent time last season in which he lifted the English Premiership trophy for the last time,i can only wish him all the best with Real Madrid.who would forget his wonder goal for Man Utd against Wimbledon in 1998?one which led to the commentator declaring it the Goal Of the Season on the very first day of the season.i will never forget that moment of magic in a hurry.
Enough said about soccer,was just pretty pleased today to through friendster get to talk to a few long lost friends from both primary and secondary school.i thank those important people who made such crucial inventions,making communication between people even from different countries so easy,so accessible.there is a Champs League game shown on tv later.its Man Utd against Greek club Panathinaikos.this fixture does not seem as straight forward as it would first seem.with the absence of skipper Keane,it would be a huge blow but with the strength in depth that Sir Alex has at his disposal,i believe he would have that sorted out before the match begins.perhaps this would be the ticket Man Utd need to proceed to the next round.i await with bated breath,till then... ...
