Tender Juicy anyone ?

My support for PureFoods in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has a long history.
From Crispa then Tanduay until they were eventually bought by PureFoods in the late 80's.

They were the franchise back then. Despite being a relatively a new team they were winning championships early. Being away from Manila, were Lonely Planted describes that Basketball is the main religion, I miss this long championship games. I remember one time that most public transport would stop when the Hotdogs were playing against the worlds best selling gin, Ginebra.

I may be away, but I'm hoping that Purefoods will win the remaining games and win against Realtors. There will be a game 7 on Friday !

Garlic rice, sunny side up, ketchup and a few Tender Juicy, yummy !

Will MU win it ?

I watched most of the starting quarters of last weekend's premier league games and predicted the out come and switched the tv to the movies. I was all wrong.

Last Saturday's fixture between Arsenal and Birmingham was crucial for United's title chase.
Arsenal could have taken 3 points and lead MU by as mush as 9 points on the table. After leading 1-nil to an 11 man Birmingham , Arsenal drew it... wheeew..

Ok, I did not watched the United derby because of the late kick off. I woke up the at 11am Sunday morning for catch ESPN's Football Extra ( yeah Jamie Yeo is hot) to wait for the news.
Manchester 5 Newcastle 1
I have a friend who thought that Santiago Munez was real and plays for Newcastle.
The "Toons" needs Munez back, why did they traded him. hahaha

Its Monday and the table looks like this; MU 61 Arsenal 64.

I am always happy when Chelsea losses. They lost big time last night. This was a game I thought was over when Drogba made a free kick and I turned off the tv to sleep.
I was driving to work today and was listening to news that The Spurs won it !
A multi million club loosing to a team that were at the bottom halve of the table.


Arsenal drew, Chelsea losses, and MU wins by 5 goals !

Red Devils oust Gunners !

The Red Devils, after not wining the last two games showed no mercy to the gunners last Saturday.I was a bit worried about United playing Arsenal after a slump.
I knew United will have a hard time with that FA cup fixture, and at 1:10 am kick off It was worth a watch. It was MU 3 - 0 at half time, can you believe that. Four nil at 90 and the Gunners are out of the oldest cup in football history.

Last time they meet in 2005 for the FA cup final, I watched it at a packed Mon't Kiara courtyard. It was nil nil at 90 minutes, nil nil at 120 minutes, and the Gunners won it on penalty. It was an emotional loss since the MU were rebuilding that time, I left after Arsenal made their final kick.It took me 45 minutes to get out of Mont Kiara, imagine hundred of cars with one exit.

Play Hard

The last ten days were hectic, fun and a string of loses by my teams.

After MU was held to a draw by the Spurs last Feb 2 ( a very late MU goal), MU lost last night at home to City. Two straight games with out a win. Did the trip to Saudi Arabia cost them ?
Last night's derby with City was supposed to be a dedicated win to the great MU team that perished in a plane crash 50 years ago.
***
England's win over Switzerland was a good indication of how Cappello will manage the team.
He's new rules include the team eating together, banning fizzy drinks, asking them to wear ties and banning track suites and play stations , and the WAGS !
***
Feb 2 I went trekking as usual for about three hours and played badminton later in the evening.

Feb 4 I woke up early to watch the Super Bowl.

Feb 5 I played a good two hours of basketball with friends.

Feb 6 I went to Sepang to watch the Moto GP testing. Valentino Rossi was testing his new bike and Bridgestone tires. With the new set up I think the doctor shall regain the championship.

Feb 7 - 9 I drove up to Cherating, the east coast of Malaysia for some fun in the beach and friends. I will not forget the beaches over there. The wind was good and the surf was high. It was one of the best spots to sleep, eat, drink then sleep again.

Patriots lost the Super Bowl

So the Giants fans are calling its the greatest comeback or a Hollywood finish.

The Patriots, winning all their games this season except the most important one, the Super Bowl.

After leading 7-3 at the start of the fourth, they gave away two touchdowns in the last quarter.

Blame it to the defense of the Patriots, they thought they have it just a few minutes away.

Defense is the best Offense.

I feel bad when I loose, this was bad.
