Manchester United Started Off The Snake Year with 12 Points Lead

It is business as usual for Manchester United who beat the Toffees 2-0 and is now 12 points lead over the noisy neighbour, Manchester City after losing against Southampton. I was watching the match live with my brother at Nasmir and definitely one of the most thrilling match I watched this season, some of the them pretty disappointing especially on the defensive problem, but yesterday de Gea and company prove once again that the Red Devils can keep a clean sheet if they wanted to.

Manchester United celebrate after Giggsy 1st goal against Everton

The match started off with Manchester United attacking Everton and I just can feel that RVP can get a goal or two in the match and not long after the kick off, Wayne Rooney threaded a pass through to Van Persie, which allowed the Dutchman to cruise round Tim Howard, but he turned his shot on to the post. 

Anyway, Giggs handed Manchester United the lead when he calmly slotted in the pass by Robin Van Persie in the 13th minute. And before the first-half ends, RVP added his name to the score sheet, by rounding off Tim Howard with a through pass by Rafael before calmly slotted home the second goal to wrap off the game.

Everton, responded well, with David de Gea produced an excellent flying stop to deny Leon Osman and Kevin Mirallas' cross was not quite accurate enough for Victor Anichebe, who would have had the goal at his mercy. Phil Jones did exceptional well to keep the in-form Fellaini at bay and a late swipe at Cleverley to collect a yellow card summed up his afternoon.

There were other scoring opportunities for Manchester United, with Evans were thrice denied a goal in within five seconds and RVP fires wide inside the box, but I bet Fergie would take 3 points today with the same scoreline, while we are preparing the Real Madrid match. So, the Red Devils ushered in the year of snake with 12 points, with just 12 games to go.

It's Euro 2012 Final Tonight

Time flies......seriously. It seems like New Year was just yesterday and in the blink of an eye, we are at the second half of the year. This year is full of major event from footballing to Olympics. Just as we starts off the second half of the year, we will be having Euro 2012 Final.....the match between Spain and Italy - which I foresee the battle will most likely be at the midfield.

I am not a supporter for Italy nor Spain, but tonight I definitely will watch these two teams play and will be siding Italy, due to the fact that my brother is Italy supporter. So, what is the preparation that majority of the football fans do to stay awake towards the three hours of match (assuming we will play until penalty shoot-out)

Well, for me, I took a nap in the afternoon, hmmm, actually, it was more like sleep halfway while I was watching TV. Anyway, my energy level now is 400%, like Iron Man, when he was struck by lightning by Thor in the Avengers movie. Well....still five hours more to go.

Besides taking the extra sleep before hand, I also bought some junk food and prepare few cups of coffee so that I have enough sugar and energy to cheer the Italians. Luckily today showing an old Hong Kong comedy Happy Ghost, so I have some entertainment before football and then I will cook some tom yam flavored instant noodle to boost up my energy level. So, how do you go on preparing for the Euro 2012 Final?
