Over the long weekend, I flew into…
Manchester, England,
On the invitation of our local snack food company called…
Mister Potato
To join their 30 winners who had so luckily won the grand prize in Mister Potato’s contest a few months ago called…
Mister Potato F.C.
These 30 winners from across Malaysia collected and mailed the most number of Mister Potato seals and wrappers over the promo period from May to November 2008, and was rewarded for it. We are also gonna collect 5 authentic autographed jerseys by Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Torres for the top 5 winners.
Then this coming Satuday, we will all be escorted to the stadium for a tour and to watch a live Barclay’s Premier League match between one of football’s legendary teams…
Manchester United
Going head to head against another one of footballing’s greats…
Liverpool F.C.
Taking place in arguably England’s most famous football stadium of all time…
The “Theatre of Dreams”, The Old Trafford.
It doesn’t get any bigger than that. This is such a rare opportunity and amazing experience of a lifetime that I dare say some men would even sell their grandmothers at the drop of a hat.
But there is only one tiny bit of problem.
I’m actually more of a fan of…
Chelsea F.C.
Not a hardcore fan, but a fan nonetheless.
But what to do ah? Chelsea was cool for a while, but then they lost almost every single match against the big teams. My friend Eric has been mocking me and urging me to turn red ever since the day Chelsea lost to Manchester United in the most dramatic fashion, 0-3.
Maybe after this Saturday I’ll switch allegiance and don the Red Devil jersey.
Chelsea has been doing so crap, their coach Scolari also lari already.
In the UK, almost every other person drives around in a Porsche. A brand new Porsche Carrera here costs just less than GBP 40,000, or roughly RM 200,000.
What the hell right? In Malaysia, RM 200,000 at best can get you a Honda A-Cock.
