My diary (it's long post...)

Last Saturday I wake up at 8:30am and have breakfast, then spent 3 hours to watch Soccer AM, I had watched many clips in youtube.com about this show, but it was the very first time I had watched it on the tele. Not a bad show but a bit boring when they interviewed the singers and other sportsman, sorry! But the 3rd eyes was class! ;-)

Then I shower and well prepared myself, of course first time wearing the new Drury home shirt with the full tracksuit on, walking to Carrow Road! I go to the Gunn Club because I know they have the Wigan vs Man City game, and honestly I cannot miss every football on TV, I was a football mad!

After the final whistle I went to the City Stand and watched the game, as the same time, I had bring my little walkman with me, so I can listen the LIVE commentary too! I just love listen the commentary and you know it's funny, because what you listen it's what you see in front of you!

What a great goal by Dickson Etuhu! I am sure Dennis Bergkamp would be proud of that because it was the kinds of goal he always scored; after Dickson's goal, we put men at the back, but we counterattack quite oftenly, I am sure Earnie was caught in two minds in this game because he seems not in his peak, mind you he was in two games goal drought but I am sure if he played tomorrrow, the goal drought will break!

Second half we were liked put 10 men at the back and to be fair, I think the Adam Drury's booking was wrong, he was tackled from the side and most importantly he got the ball, but in today's football, the player's reaction also help referee to make decision, sadly. I am not sure why Hucks go off but hopefully he was OK. I think Cardiff surely miss their top scorer Chorpa, their number was not very good to be honest, Shacks and the Doh looked after him very well, but their number 6 was strong, winning all the headers until the end of the game.

Doesn't matter the 5 minutes injury time, hay the ref was poor, every Cardiff player go down then it's a free kick to them! Anyway we won 1-0, and Adam Drury the man of the match! Great! Brilliant! I met Diane outside the clubshop and she said she cannot find me where I sit! Oh but I actually did not go to toilet at the break, maybe I was 'transparent' for a few minutes! HAHA! Then I go to the Gunn Club again...

The opposite of the Gunn Club was the players lounge, and I ask the security man can I go in? He said I don't have permission and I can only go to the Gunn Club, doesn't matter, I can wait, because I hope to chat with some of the players; then, a Norwich fans just besides me asked did I want to go in, I say Yes, and he give me a ticket of 'players lounge' and told me to go in! Oh! How nice is that! I can't spell his name but I saw him a few times before, it's nice to see him to give me the ticket!!!

I go to the players lounge and possibly I saw Adam's wife and his babyboy, but of course I won't say Hello because they will never know who I am! HAHA! Then about 10 minutes later, Drury was the first man to appear, I chat with him about the booking and he said yes it wasn't, but the referee given it and he had nothing to do, but he said we won again, that mean I am not a 'jinx' again! HAHA! ;-)

Hucks was the next player to appear and I asked him did he feel ok, he said he injured his back and showed me the bandage around his waist area, but he will be OK, I took picture with Hucks and Adam together! Then I take picture with Dickson and praised his great goal, then Earnie, Lee Croft, and then Youssef, I asked Youssef was it a long flight from his country to England, he said no, he said only 3 hours!!! I was a but amazed because I think it would be a long long time! We had a good chat.

Then after all the presentation, all the players left, I go to the Gunn Club and saw Villa vs Fulham, I saw Neil Doncaster but he was in a rush so I cannot say Hello, I take picture with Robert Fleck, Iwan Roberts and Jerry Goss, and had long chat with Bryan Gunn and Andrew Cullen. I spoke to Gunny can I have the players lounge ticket at the next home game because I hope to say Goodbye to players, he said he will arrange it for this during this week! OH! GREAT! He said I was the lucky mascot this time if we keep winning, he won't let me go...;-)

Andrew knows who I am and we had long chat, I asked him if I had any ideas about the clubshop then I can e-mail him? He said yes, then I told Andrew about the 3/4 pants, I told him many other sport brand liked adidas, umbro, reebok or nike all had this products for the fans, but why Xara did not have? I said it would be be better for me in HK because it's humid and better to wear shorter pants. He was not really what I asked in the first time but it's surely my fault, because I did not speak clearly, but after that Andrew understand.

Andrew then pick out his note book and write it down 3/4 pants in XXL or XXXL, and he will ask Xara Office during this week, and hopefully see what he can get something for me, because he think some of the keeper pants are quite big he knows, of course not guarantee! OH! I cannot believe that again! I have a request or idea, and the club will treat that very seriously. He will get back to me by e-mail before I leave! Oh! How great attitute and positive is that!

I am also asking can I set up a suppoter club in Hong Kong, he said the supporter clubs had meeting at Stoke City on this Saturday, after the meeting he may give me some informations to me and let see what I can do. Great day again!
