Love Five

So last Friday, Bunny brought me out on a date to see the match between the West Tigers and our home team, the St George Dragons. 

We went late because our favourite Japanese diner was really crowded and we had to wait a long time for a table. I wasn't about to go hungry just to be in time for the rugby game! 

By the time I had dragged my poor Ferragamos to the Sydney Football Stadium, our members area had already filled up, and I had to sit in the nosebleed section to the side. I was happy though, I am not really fond of squishing in with a lot of people in a small area.  

The game was pretty exciting, especially towards the end, but alas even though our team was leading in the beginning, they were stampeded to a defeat by the sound of the final whistle.

Watching this match just made me miss soccer so much. 

True Fact: I am a HUGE Manchester United Fan! I have supported them ardently since 1995, and my ultimate favourite player whom I would gladly die for is... Roy Keane and maybe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. 

I met the whole team when they came to Singapore for an exhibition match in 2001, and got their autographs. I was so chuffed when Alex Ferguson appeared in front of me, I found myself babbling incoherently, I couldn't speak in a proper sentence! And that is saying a lot since I am a regular Little Miss Chatterbox! :D

I adore the soccer games of old; they seem so far removed from what the game is now. The players who weaved magic with their feet and fought hard for every ball, who got red-carded so their team could survive to fight another game... I think it's time I unearth my old jerseys and perhaps frame them to put up on my wall. 

I greatly miss the Manchester United of yesteryear. Hehe but I definitely do not miss the early mornings I spent shouting myself hoarse over Champion League matches. ;)
