The spirit of adventure

It’s rather embarrassing to see that Manchester United fans are wearing T-shirts proclaiming that they’ve won nine Premiership title to Liverpool’s none. It shows a sad lack of historical perspective but if they want to believe that football started in 1992, they’re welcome to it. Yet it rather sums up the two cities that United should be fixated with domestics while Liverpool are on another foreign adventure. Go to Liverpool, and the city looks over the Mersey, a gateway to the wider world, to adventure, to endless possibilities. It’s a place with a global perspective. Manchester? It looks out over Saddleworth Moor.

The correct score, of course, is 18-16 and 5-2.

Athens here we come

Bryan Adams, in a concert in Manchester, invited a female from the audience to sing along with him and she turned out to be from, of all places, Liverpool.

One concert goer says, “Being Canadian, Adams probably didn’t appreciate the bitter rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool. Unluckily for him, he chose a Liverpudlian woman to sing with him and she wasted no time rubbing fans’ noses in it, chanting, ‘Athens here we come!’ “

Congrats to the Mancs on winning the league. I know I wanted Chelsea to win, atleast till the time Jose came up with all the crap in the building to the 2nd leg of the Champions League semi-final. Since then I have been glad they didn’t. It’s a title well deserved for a team who have, to be honest, scared the living daylights out of most opposition with their attacking play. I hope we can challenge them next year.
