Dear Abang,
Happy birthday! In December 2007, you scored your 100th goal for the club in all competitions. Yesterday, it was a century of goals in the premier league. Not to mention a lovely assist earlier for Rooney.
The next few weeks will be challenging for every team but somehow United’s been lucky in terms of injuries this time around. Hope you’ll take care and avoid getting hurt, especially during the busy year-end period. There’s Spurs on Dec. 1st in the Carling Cup and then on the 5th to West Ham in the league. Can kow tim lah, those two.

Much love,

Adik

I have a feeling that it’s gonna be a long, BLEARGHHH Monday.

CNN’s been highlighting South Africa’s preparation for the football’s greatest party – kicking off exactly a year from today – this whole week.

I’m thinking 12 months is not that long from now.

The Telegraph’s take on the final in Rome:

Manchester United and Barcelona are not clubs but states, and both with a global citizenry. Each is bound to an identity forged over decades of high endeavour that has at its core an idea of how the game should be played; perfection through beauty. To chase glory through adventure is an obligation.

To see the players of both teams on the field… can’t wait!

It was she who received the email. Mine said:

We regret to inform you that your application was unsuccessful.

Whatever lah. I am still going to the party!

Am still jumping all over, wishing 15 months is just a minute away.
