Bundle of joy......

Yup thats right, my bundle of joy has arrived. My lil cousin Aalia :-) She's the best, trust me. I woke up at 5 to go pick her up fr the airport. Luckly i didn't have to wait long as she was the first to come out with her mother. Armed with a soft toy for her i tried to woo her. Shy at first she looked the other way and peeped from the corner of her eye but once the 'Green Dragon' poped out she was all mine. Sitting pretty with her toy we came home n the first thing i taught her to say was 'Manchester United'.... yeah the match against Lyon had jst finished a couple of hours earlier, say 3:30 am and I was still groggy fr the late night. Tevez rescued us fr defeat for a 1-1 draw. With 3 mins of the game left Tevez stabed the ball home for a crucial away goal. Now we go back to Old Trafford for the 2nd leg. I'm gonna try and make Alu watch the match with me ;-)

Giggsy: 100 & counting....

In the 100 club

Raul – 114 apps Roberto Carlos – 113 apps Paolo Maldini – 106 apps David Beckham – 103 apps Oliver Kahn – 103 apps Luis Figo – 100 apps Clarence Seedorf – 100 apps Ryan Giggs – 99 apps The list says it all, and now our very own Ryan Giggs will join the elite 100 club of champions league matches tonight against Lyon in France. A loyal soldier for the Red Devils from the tender age of 14 when Sir Alex Ferguson went personally to his house to persuade him to join Manchester United instead of Manchester City and he joined us :-) back then his dribbling skills were compared to Diego Maradona, George Best & Johan Cruyff. In 3 years he turned professional and from then on there was no looking back. He's won the F.A Premier League 9 time, F.A Cup 4 times, League Cup twice, Community Shield 6 times, Champions League once, and the Super Cup once. What more can i say. Just waitin for tonight's match to kick off.

"Fasten Your Seatbelts"

Manchester United v/s Arsenal, FA Cup 5th round... What should we expect. All i can say is nuthin short of fireworks. After United's derby loss to Manchester City this would be the perfect way for The Red Devils to bounch back and go undefeted till the end of the season in all competetions. A victory would boost the moral of the devils sky high, just the tonic we need at this stage of the season. Can we complete the treble??? of course we can. With Manchester United anything is possible right uptill the last second. I just cant wait for the game to kick off. My livingroon is a sea of red with banners & jerseys of United all over. The england flay is up flyin as well :-) It's a perfect setting. Everythig is in place... The battle lines are drawn... As Sir Alex Ferguson say's "fasten your seatbelts", Are you ready?
