you are our solskjaer
our ole solskjaer
you make us happy when the skies are gray
'cos when it's pouring
you just keep scoring
so please don't take my solskjaer away

the last time i heard it at a mufc game, it was in 98. the man utd medley. gosh, i can't find the lyrics for that anymore. ahaha. but that's one part of the song that i really like.

the last time i heard that song? at sunderland's game. it's their game song now. funny that they're playing against sunderland on sat. finally a match that's not on sunday, 10.55 pm. load up on the snacks!! we're winning this game!

now the injurytime legend is leaving us. the one who scored against bayern in 1999 to bring the trophy back home. the one who had saw a 4-goal spree against Forest and had me screaming the house down.. the one who delivered the FA cup against liverpool.. all in our treble season.. the cherubic angel-face striker who had secured a place in the hearts of all mufc fans.

the myspace page had so many msges left for him. i swear, i nearly cried when i read the first page alone. he will be fondly remembered. after all, he's our super-sub.

i don't think any other club has managed to establish players the way mufc does. people will remember schmeichel for his red ruddy nose, screaming at the players on the pitch and scaring the opposition shitless. or cantona with his i-so-cool-you-don't-wanna-mess-with-me air.. or beckham and his free kicks.. what do you remember abt terry? or henry? that they were good players and capts. but no one makes an impact like the mufc players.

ok, i'm biased, fine. but which arsenal fan can forget how ryan giggs dribbled past their line of 'formidable' defenders to flick the ball into the net all by himself.. see my point? ahahaha.

i suppose i deserve the hate msgs after that bit. buut.. it doesn't change the fact that our dear ole gunner solskjaer is putting up his boots. never will we have another solskjaer. there will be other great players, i know. just none like my angelface.

i love my darlings. they can't stop reminding me why they are so dear to me. they spoil me to bits, checking on me thru msn and sms, being concerned for me, keeping me in their prayers even now when i'm far from them. literally.

yar, we're just separated by the aye and cte. but you cannot deny the fact that tuas isn't very near bras basah. boo.

and we haven't had supper together for such a long time! saturday night! saturday night's alright for supper!
