This week promises to be an eventful and piquant one as there is a hive of activity to uplift the otherwise nondescript and prosaic mood.
It begins with the arrival of English Premier League heavyweights Arsenal, a team which has been embroiled in a heated transfer saga with Barcelona over the transfer of their most illustrious and influential captain- Cesc Fabregas( A unique and sacrosanct player to Arsenal). As a steadfast Manchester United fan, the whole Fabregas issue is viewed with much chagrin as it is definitely a harbinger of disintegration of Arsenal football club. However, I do not intend to harp on the issue. On the contrary, I am more fascinated with the purported claims that Nasri is heading to Manchester. :) With the purchase of Ashley Young, David De Gea and Phil Jones, the arrival of yet another complete and versatile player would undoubtedly bolster Manchester United's arsenal.
Nevertheless, Arsenal are my second club and the truth is that I never want to see them doomed. So Sneijder is preferred over Nasri to replace Scholes at the heart of the team.
This time around Arsenal fans must be ebullient as they finally get to witness their dream team in action. I wasted no chance 2 years back when Manchester United made their way to Malaysia as part of their Asia Tour. Watching them play in front of more than 80,000 fans was a dream come true( never mind the location). I was totally rapturous and euphoric and I believe every United fan must be experiencing the same feeling.
Liverpool and Chelsea join in the fray to play Malaysia XI and the Malaysian team must be feeling intimidated by their oppositions' prowess. Sure enough, the homegrown will be thrashed by one of the teams by a huge margin! :) Now sit back and enjoy.
Football stories aside, now back to the issue that has been hogging the limelight for the past weeks..-the Bersih rally.
I am completely flummoxed by the government's actions in labelling Bersih as an illegal organisation. If Bersih could arrange an official meeting with the King, then why on Earth is the organisation illegal? Are you suggesting that the King will entertain any Tom, Dick and Harry? It makes no sense at all.
Besides, the roadblocks across the city were gratuitous, puerile and certainly uncalled for. Have you ever thought of the utmost inconvenience and great disruption to the citizens? The protest was meant to be a peaceful one, of course the police forces should be on standby mode should any untoward incidents occur but roadblocks for??
I do not wish to vent my further frustrations here as it is slightly inappropriate as I might go overboard. But seriously the roadblock plan was inane and incredulous.
The way things were handled was ignominious for our country, to say the least.
Can we snap out of such immaturity?
Indignant.
