Football blues








So Chelsea finally won the English Premier League two nights ago. Yayy ! (Cakap budget avid football fan) Okay can't help but to feel happy for Chelsea fans (Chelsea Chelsea ! Chelsea Chelsea ! Singing the blues team song). Because I'm actually one of them. Okay okay. Actually, I'm a first hand Man U fan. Chelsea is second in line. But yeah, that's mean I'm both teams supporters. Not a die-hard one though. I'm the one that will be cheering for them at the very end of the line. Quietly. Haha. Just because I know where I stand. I don't watch football that often. Sometimes. Okay fine. Sangat la jarang-jarang sekali. And I can be frankly honest that my knowledge on football is definitely below zero. But my guts have always been telling me to cheer for these two teams. Don't ask me why because I can never really answer you if you ask me.



One thing I can tell though, I have always been a fan of Beckham. And back in those days where he used to play for Manchester United, I started cheering for Man U because he was in the team. I guess, that's how I started officially cheering for Manchester United. And I remember Ayah once took us to see Manchester United playing against Malaysia when I was in standard 6 if I'm not mistaken. I can still remember, playing Destiny's Child's cassette on our way to see the game. Singing 'Bootylicious' and 'I'm a survivor'. Those were the days. I can still remember cheering for Beckham during the whole game and watching his every moves without knowing better. And that we had to leave early because my younger sisters bragged about going home because they're too young to understand my whole passion in watching Beckham playing live on the field. Haha. I used to be very passionate about football back then. Though I know nothing much. Thanks to Beckham. But Ayah didn't disappoint me for getting me home early. Ayah bought me a lot of Manchester United souvenirs right outside the stadium. Including a few posters of Beckham and the whole team. I can't be more happy then that because later I get to tell and brag to my friends about it. Budak-budak kan. Haha. And I remember back then, everytime I saw the Manchester United store (during that time, there's one in Lot 10 and One Utama) while we went for shopping, I'll tell Ayah to stop by to get something for me. Everytime ! Those were the days.


What ever it is, even after Beckham left Manchester United for Real Madrid ? (Am I right ? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Because this is what I imagine to remember knowing) , I'm proud to say that I'm still faithful in supporting Man U. And Beckham might not be the reason behind me cheering for the team in the first place. Maybe, I have always been a true Manchester United fan after all. If I'm allowed to put it that way. Haha. Can I ?

So, the moral of the story, follow your guts. Hahaha. My guts always been telling me to stick with Manchester United through it all (despite the long que of haterssssss. A lot !). And they told me to be a Chelsea fan too. I don't choose to be one. Some things comes naturally as it is. Without being forced to. That is all I can concluded about me being those two teams supporters. Anyway, FIFA World Cup is coming soon. Guess which teams I've been supporting since the last FIFA tournament ?
