Tottenham Hotspurs 3 Manchester City 1

Why does this game matter? Because we're 13pts ahead with 5 games to play!!! Whoot!

Spurs looked like they were gonna lose after a very early Samir Nasri goal. Somehow a 5 or 6 minute spell around the 77th minute suddenly changed the whole outcome.

First Clint Dempsey scored, then Defoe and then Bale, all in quick succession. Quite amazing if you consider how tight the Man City defence had been leading up to this game.

I was so sure City would win that I bet $150 on a simple win. But it's money I'm happy to lose now that we are one win away from our 20th title.

Let's beat Aston Villa tomorrow!

GGMU!!!

West Ham 2 Manchester United 2

Sigh.

Dunno if it's two points dropped or a lucky point earned away to West Ham last night.

We haven't been very good in our games lately. With five games remaining, we will just need to win two and the title is ours. Or to drag the anxiousness further, we could also win one more and draw two, and win on superior goal difference.

We have got Villa at home (W), then Arsenal away (D), then Chelsea at home (L), Swansea at home (W), WBA away (D) left to play.

That's right, as you can see, I don't have much confidence right now, but even then, we'll probably still nudge past the finish line. Hopefully our results don't get worse than what I've predicted.

And that's to say City has to win their remaining six games as well. They are flying high right now but hopefully they can drop at least two points to gift us the title. Last night they struggled to beat Wigan 1-0 at home so it might be a good sign they're running out of steam. Problem is I can't really see where that's going to come from, so I've taken to betting $50 for a City win in every game till the end of the season. Winning easy money always eases the heartaches.

Well done to RVP though, his scoring spree has begun again. Kagawa also deserves a mention. It is this season's new boys who're pushing us across the finishing line. DDG has had a splendid season as well so I hope they win the title this season. It will be a memorable one for them.

Rooney to PSG done deal? Dunno what to make of that but I'm not gonna be very upset given what he did to the club in 2010, here, here and here (I actually devoted FOUR blogposts to his silly saga). Hopefully we will strengthen our squad in midfield though. I hope Chico and Welbz stay to continue their good work for the club.

#20!

Stoke City 0 Manchester United 2

Happy with the win.

And happy for RVP who finally scored again. Hopefully he will begin another scoring spree.

I thought Kagawa and Rooney did well in midfield.

15pts clear with 6 games remaining. 2 more wins and we will have won it technically.

Feeling great as we edge closer and closer to number 20.

GGMU!!!

Man U Insurance

This is how you insure yourself against another last minute choke by Manchester United.

Tough derby loss last night against shitty.

Still we should see this season out comfortably.

USDJPY 2013

Probably will end the year at 110.

Have seen it rocket from the late 70s to the present 99 level.

Can you imagine if you had bought a standard lot (100,000) of USDJPY back when it was dwelling at 78? Right now you'd be in the GREEN by a nifty USD21K!

Still it's doubtful many people caught the full ride up.

Welcome to the new normal of quantitative easing.

One FC MMA

Last night's fightcard and action was one of the best I've ever watched in my years of watching One FC.

Shinya Aoki must be one of the best fighters in Asia!
