2 days ago Manchester United came to Malaysia for their Asian tour. The tickets for the games were sold out so I only managed to catch the training. After Malaysia, Man Utd were scheduled to visit Indonesia. But some terrorists decided to bomb the hotel they were going to stay in. So Man Utd cancelled the Indonesian visit and decided to stay in Malaysia for another 4 days and playing an extra match with the Malaysian Selection. The last time Man Utd came was in 1999. That was 10 years ago. I didn’t get to go then for some reason I can’t remember and this time the tickets were sold out. But they are playing an extra game and I’m not free to go. How fucked up is this? I have to wait another 10 years before I can see them play against Malaysia. Anyway, I went for the training and it was awesome.

Forgive me for the quality of the pictures. Thanks to forest fires in Indonesia the haze is back in Malaysia. The pictures look like I took them in the fog. Enjoy.

I look like a fucking tourist.

The booth sold some really expensive Man Utd merchandise. I’m sure it’s official merchandise unlike those I saw outside the stadium. I couldn’t get a picture of the stalls outside the stadium but I noticed they didn’t sell any Man Utd jerseys… Maybe they were just sold out.

Even the FRU truck is a Man Utd fan.

Heng and his family.

Fawked and Brother Heng. Merah for life!

Heng and Dawn. Waiting for the damned gates to open. They delayed it for an hour.

Finally we could go in. A picture of the empty stadium. This was at about 3 PM.

Picking the best seat in the stadium. Right in the middle of the hot 3 PM sun. It was awesome!

Me leaving the best seat in the stadium to look for some fucking shade.

K9 Unit sniffing for bombs and shit. When he passed us I shouted “Bang boleh posing sikit?” Translated it means “Hey fella, could you pose for me?”. He replied he was on duty and he just smiled. Actually I was talking to the dog.

It was going to be about 2 and a half hours before the training started. The Malaysian team was going to start training first followed by Manchester United. While waiting for the training to start more and more people started to come into the stadium. A couple of months ago Chelsea came to Malaysia and a bunch of us wore Man Utd jerseys to their training. I think we verbally screwed them so much Scolari lost his tactics and eventually got his ass fired leading to Chelsea finishing 3rd last season. Haha, Chelsea sucks monkey balls. Anyway, I was bored so I started to look for anyone that was wearing some other EPL team jersey. I planned to start a riot if somebody wore rival jerseys. A few pictures I took while looking for rivals.

For a moment I thought Michael Owen was in the stands

Either rip off the name or burn the jersey. Ronaldo is a fucking disgrace.

Not another one?

I didn’t see any rivals and I was disappointed as fuck. But I saw this guy. The closest to a rival as I could get. But I’m still deciding if I should have fucked him up. But he was wearing an England jersey.

Somebody brought a banner that read

“WHO CARES ABOUT RONALDO & TEVEZ”

After waiting like hell in the hot as hell sun the Malaysian team finally came out. Rajagopal came out to tremendous cheering and he decided he wanted to show us a thing or two about kicking a ball… into an empty goal. He fucking missed on his first try. He kicked the ball wide off goal. We booed the fuck out of him of course. He gave it another shot and oh surprise! He scored.

Doing their warm up…

I didn’t take much pictures of the Malaysian team. Basically what they did we already did in primary and secondary school so no need to post pictures of that. We all have good memories of Pendidikan Jasmani. Shortly after the Malaysian team were done, Manchester United came out.

Scholes came out first.

Nani, Scholes and Giggs.

The man behind the success, Sir Alex Ferguson

This guy was dropping blue cloths on the field. I thought he was trying to dry his laundry in our hot sun.

He kept dropping the blue cloths and I didn’t think much of it.

Manchester United running laps before stretching.

The team stretching.

Ben Foster, Tomasz Kuszcak and Van Der Sar.

Getting ready to do sprints.

Rehydrating.

Gary Neville performing his Captain duties.

Getting ready to play “Get the ball Monkey”. Now I know what the blue cloth was for. The Monkey would have to hold the blue cloth.

Every time Berbatov became the Monkey we would shout

“RUN AFTER THE BALL BERBATOV YOU LAZY BASTARD!”

Training passing. Berbatov is one lazy ass.

They left poor Foster out of the game so he had to go pick the balls.
