M & M

Its a M&M night. Its the night for both my favourite club, Manchester United and Malaysia team in the Sudirman Cup. However, its also a night of joy and sorrow.

Joy part---Manchester United have managed to salvage a draw with Arsenal, further paving the path to them to be crowned once again as the English Premier League Champions for three consecutive seasons!! YAY! It means three trophies this season: Club World Cup Champoinship, Carling Cup and of course the latest EPL Champion Title. One more to go: Champions League! Go, Red Devils!

Sorrow part--- Our local badminton team lost 3-0 to China in Sudirman Cup semi-final. ALL the match was nail-biting. The first point, our mixed double started well but ended losers to the mightier Olympic Gold Medalist. The second game, Lee Chong Wei played a very brave and memorable game. But the machine-like Lin Dan too powerful. Curse D. Lin for not making more mistakes. Chong Wei played way better than the way he had during Olympic. He put up a great fight. (clap hands to him) Third match, I was so scared it will become a one-sided game dominated by China. Luckily, Koo-Tan WINS the first game 21-19, phew, so close. However, Lady-Luck was not with them in the second and third game. Especially in the third, where our shuttlers lost 23-21. NOOOO. Anyway, they put up a good fight.

Overall, all our shuttlers deserve a good pat in their shoulder for a good job done to reach the semi-finals. We still have to do a lot of homework to groom our younger players. We are too reliant to our current batch.

Anyway, I want to express my hatred feelings to Li Yong Bo. You do not respect our players. Your saying and boast of getting Sudirman Cup without losing a game has disgrace the sport. Your shoutings in the court has disgust me! I wonder when will doom cast upon you!
