Touched and Inspired to be a fan of Man Utd..

I was doing some random googling and research this afternoon. Maybe I was a bit depressed after England's draw yesterday. So I was reading something about England's only champion in the World Cup in 1966, and I somehow found out something that I did not know about Man Utd:

the Munich Air Disaster in 1958

This was such a long time ago, I only know that 8 players of the Man Utd were killed in the crash, including the genius Duncan Edwards. What touched me the most was the Championship League ten years later

I managed to find this on youtube,



enough said... The dream started by Sir Matt Busby finally became reality in May 1968...

When he raised the cup 8 times and called out the 8 names, I just felt that this is some club that a real man should play for...

so I went on googling, haha of course I wont forget the 1999 champions league final vs Bayern... In the last 3 minutes, Man Utd scored two goals and won the match: the Bayern fans had already started celebrating, but Man Utd fought to the last minute and won.. This is something that the England national squad cannot do.. haiz haiz..

oh and I watched this on youtube,too



Denis Laws famous backheal... At first I was wondering why he was not celebrating, in fact, I think he looked quite sad... then I realized that he was in blue but he was from Man Utd.. Argh...

argh, Man Utd.. Okie, I will still keep all my impure thoughts in Newcastle, but yes, Man Utd!! muack..

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
