Arsenal,Manchester City ..give me a smirk

Football has always been a passion in my family as we grew up in the kampong within Kuching City vicinity. Being the eldest i always try to "dominate" proceedings and i never hide the fact in those early days,more than 40 years ago how crazy i was and still am on Manchester United. The Shoot magazine and the BBC radio world service every Saturday nights were our source of information on all the football proceedings.

Always scrounged whatever pocket money i had to buy the Shoot Magazine at KK Abdul Majeed in India Street.

My brother Zul supports Manchester City(hmm wonder why?) and it must have been perennial pain for him to witness City season in season out always being overshadowed by the other Manchester club. Well somehow this season i noticed a smirk on his face , ha City just spent more than 100 Million pounds on new players that include Tevez but i still doubted they will finish in the top 4.

My other brother, Shahbuddin (or Wen..) supports Arsenal, hmm a team whose favourite player of mine is Frank Stapleton. You can guess why.

The 1998/99 FA cup semi final was a great reminder of how great matches between United and Arsenal can be ..

Well it seems Arsenal is having a great start to the season and again i notice a big smirk on my brother's face ...but honestly i believe this is going to be Chelsea's year if it is not United.
