Beaten By The Scousers

Hell ya, that was it. We were poor and lucky not to concede more than 2 goals. The thing is, watching football at bar is quite fun.

We went to the bar after my friend, from other city, text me that we had the first goal already. S**t we rushly went to the bar, pay for the cover charge and adjust with other football fans at the venue.

My first expression was, weird. It’s freaking weird to see other club’s fan cheer when our players plays bad, losing balls etc. It was weird to hear people cheers when they saw Gerrard and Torres excercise from the bench. I don’t get it, i think i never been their fan so it’s weird to see the scene. Also, i saw some old expats with Liverpool t’shirt speak in English accent, so they’re ok, but it’s weird to see Indonesian likes Liverpool. I was like WTF? Liver what?

Sorry, that’s my thought. I’m Indonesian myself who likes Manchester United, another English club.

However, some colorful beverages light my time, i didn’t even care about the result after the game was play for 45 minutes. I guess we were play just so bad and were totally outplayed by the scousers. So i didn’t had the choice but order more brews.

So the bad is, Carrick is back injured, Vidic sent off and will miss the Stamford Bridge game, Giggsy played silly and get beaten, Brown gets his own goal and i’m not sure why Nani wasn’t featured from the start. In the bright side, i can see Rooney and Tevez was passionate as ever and glad to see the new boy Berbatov in our side.

All in all it was fun. Not as fun as the lads, our team coaches and our fans at Anfield seeing the team outran by Liverpool players, but in my eye it was fun. I guess the alcohol talk.

Long way to go, but yeah it’s on, started with a lost. Damn but whatever, i guess i just need to go to bed. I hope i don’t get the headache tomorrow morning.

Come on you reds.

It’s On! Manchester United – Liverpool Preview

I’ve said in earlier post, as an outside Manchester’s fan – a South Asian fan for that matter, i past my time as Reds hating Arsenal and lately Chelsea. However, the more i look into the games, the club and its culture, the more i feel the pressure ahead of every Liverpool games (still can’t find how and why i should hate Man City, but it doesn’t matter!).

This time is no different, the rivalries between the two has grown to top in the air this weekend. Benitez is stating a surprise comeback to Kop’s duo Gerrard and Torres, while Sir Alex on his Manager’s Press Conference stated that Hargreaves, Carrick and surprise surprise… Ronaldo is all fit for the Liverpool game at Anfield.

This is a very strange situation, as we can look back several weeks earlier that seems like our games are over, United will not top on anything this season, pundits are writing us off. However, star players are returning to our team and ready to murder everyone in the pitch. We always capable to do that to everyone as i’ve said last year (i’m sure the statement is somewhere within this blog’s archive) that the club itself is the biggest enemy. Not anyone else.

However, whatever i’m saying here in a fan internet journal, whatever haters saying our days are over (to be honest i don’t understand why they keep saying this as every logical person knows that we are super strong), and whatever football pundits say wrong things about the club, Sir Alex is starting to get his main men back.

So eat that haters, as It boost our confident ahead of one of the biggest match it (terms of rivalries) today and i happily wait on whom will make it for starters as our choice of players are growing.

Let Sir Alex do that for us, we, the fucking fans can hold our breath. Until then, at the Anfield.

Come on you Reds!
