The trip to Manchester was like a rite of passage to test my faith and loyalty to Man Utd. The night before leaving, i was already a little feverish, but by the time i got onto the plane in the early morning from Warsaw to London, i was down with a full-fledged fever and feeling completely miserable. The whole time, i was running a temperature while feeling incredibly chilly. My hands and feet were cold but my body and forehead was the exact opposite. I was aching all over..my neck, my shoulders, my head and my throat was sore.
Man i felt like a drug addict, Panadol was my cocaine. When the 'drugs' kicked in, i was able to function more or less normally, but once the effect wore out, i started feeling horrible again. So every 5 hours or so, i needed my fix.
Fortunately, by the time i got to Old Trafford, I was feeling much better. (In case you're wondering, i am better already. Though i LSed yesterday. The fever has subsided, except that my throat is still pretty bad. But i'll be alright.)
While the atmosphere could be alot better(before Benfica scored we were too quiet, the pathetic number of Benfica fans were much louder than we were..but after Vidic equalised it got much better) the game was good overall. We won 3-1 and qualified for the next round of the Champions League at the top of our group. Ronaldo played very well at the flanks, bringing the ball up swiftly and skilfully, though his finishing sucked. Rooney was not at his best. Ferdinand did his standard im-gonna-fake-this-way-and-then-go-another-move but the best player had to be Giggs. My No. 4 came in for Evra who got injured in the second half. There was also this part in the game where the player blatantly caught the ball in his hands, and i thought only our soccer girls could pull off something like that.
Overall im happy with the game, It was a crucial match, we got the tickets at a bargain, Fergie fielded a full squad, and we won! What can i say!
Anyway i also took picture with the red devils mascot Fred the Red, it's not with me so i'll post it up when i get it. Wah lao, damn hard to take picture with this joker lah. Being the nice one as usual, I helped Sam take his picture first. Was gonna get ready to pose with him but he walked away! Why, im too short and he couldn't see me? I was so pissed..and all Sam did was laugh at me. Fortunately, Fred walked by us again and i would have practically pounced onto him if not for the barricade seperating us =P
Old Trafford, Home of the Red Devils!
Ooh I caught up with Giggsy
Volley like Rooney
Nehnanny boo boo..i got the match ticket! And the Man U cap, And the Man U scarf AND the Man U plastic bag!
