Entry backdated to November 19, 2005 (from my yahoo blog)


<--- this is a fake pic that my yahoo friend had specially helped by putting my pic together with Keano. He has really done a very good job! Thank you.

On THE NIGHT OF 18 NOVEMBER 2005
it was a very sad day to me.

My favorite soccer player, Roy Keane aka Keano, has quitted my beloved soccer team, Manchester United... suddenly

I still recall I heard this news on the radio at night on my way back in a taxi and this cabby was commenting about Keano deserving the sack as he had condemned his teammates in public few weeks ago. But I do not agree with him.

I told him that Keano is an inspirational captain and has all the rights to criticise his players when they are not performing to their required standards.

I also do not agree Fergie has sacked him because of that public outburst on his teammates. I told him this is not Keano's first public outburst and Fergie should have known and accepted his captain's fiery temper as well as outspoken personality many years ago.

After my little "outburst" with the cabby, I suddenly noticed that he has a big scarf with a blue Chelsea FC Logo hanging at the rear dashboard of the vehicle. Oops, I am actually sitting in a taxi driven by Chelsea Fan (in case you don't know Man Utd has just beaten Chelsea last week and end its longest winning run in their football history).

In fact, I couldn't help wondering whether this cabby will take revenge by alighting me in some deserted cemeteries after my "public" outburst on him. :-P

Fortunately, the cabby sent me to my home punctually.

Before he drove off, he told me that he is very impressed by my football knowledges while respecting my unselfish and unbiased support on Keano.

We exchanged our contacts and I started having some mixed feelings; I have gained a new friend (Choy) but lost my favorite captain (Keano) on this very starry night
