It’s a beautiful day today: 18 years ago the Dippers celebrated their last English League title. As Liverpool die hards say themselves:
Next season will be Liverpool’s.
Promises.
We’ll knock them off their Champions League perch as will. That is if they reach the finals. Looking forward to play them in Moscow in May. Days after Manchester United lifted the Premiere League Cup for the tenth time. :)
I started a challenge with myself… and the world. It’s about blogging. I’m returning.
The challenge is simple: make a blog popular (subjectively), without whoring the blog out in comments or on traffic platforms. Just rely on the ability to write passionately, opinionatedly and know some keyword stuff SEO have a popular topic.
Both blogs enter an already overcrowded area and target a passionate and active community, which actually makes things harder, but could also be an advantage.
The topics are Mac/Apple and Manchester United (English football/soccer team).
In one month I will report here about the first weeks and how stats have grown (or not).
Both URLs will not be used in comments on more than 2 other blogs each.
Update: Life has come in between the challenge and the reality. I still believe in the concept and several blogs are in the planning. One more actually: Bloggers Turn Me On, a return to the good ol’ (JOAB) times, just a little more high profile and less obligatory as then. See you soon in a blog coming to a browser on your monitor.
One rule of thumb:
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
Today would be the day we resurrected, the day the soccer Phoenix, Manchester United would show the world, 50 years after the Munich disaster that we are a bunch of figthing heroes.
Instead we lost against Citeh. At Old Trafford. For the first time in 34 years we lost against City at home.
Allowing City to do the double for the first time in 39 years.
We didn’t put up much of a fight, even not to commemorate 23 lives, our history.
And no, Cristiano Ronaldo is not the best player in the world. The best player in the world can turn around a game like this. Cristiano’s role against top teams is rather inexistent. The situation is the same as last year, when we were close to the CL final: we need Wayne Rooney more than anyone else and we still need a striker.
If I were upset when we lost at the Council House, today I am devastated. Not just because we lost from City, more because I have been looking forward to today’s game for months now. To pay tribute to our fallen heroes and their family.
I’m devastated.

Money or Trophies
Anfield sensation Fernando Torres on the rumored deal around Mancester City and Kaka. A transfer worth 108m GBP and a possible 500k GBP/week:
Being a Manchester United fan I obviously do not fear Man City or see them winning trophies anytime soon. I must admit that the prospect of seeing Kaka in the Premier League is an interesting one, but at that price?
No one is worth that kind of money. And to be honest, I kind of ‘gave up’ on football some months ago after realizing how negative fans, me included, think. I want to be entertained and enjoy what players offer me, not scrutinize their every move.
