~~ A wait worthwhile...heh ~~

For almost close to 3 months of non EPL actions...finally the new season kicked off on Saturday. Arranged to meet the usual kakis to meet up at BarCelona our favourite haunt. And what better way to start the season than to have my favourite ManU in action against Everton. Without any silverware last season, ManU was more than determined to make up for it. Same goes for Everton who wants to prove that they are not a one season wonder. Both teams were really hungry and hence produced a great match for my standards. ManU were eventual winners with dear Rooney and good old Van Nistelrooy scoring one each. Heh...made my day. I hope ManU's run will continue.

It was also heartening to see ManU's first Asian first team player, Park Ji Sung, playing his heart out for the team. Determined to prove that he is not brought to ManU just for commerical purposes, he put up a brilliant performance that could jeopardize the place of regulars Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo. Being Asian certainly did not deal him with a disadvantage in any sense. He more than made up for his smaller physique with his blistering pace and precise passing. All that said, I hope he gets a chance to sustain a run in the team and eventually be a permenant fixture in the starting line-up.

So this is a weekend filled with endless soccer actions...the 3 months wait was definitely worth it...I am already looking forward to the next weekend...haha!
