Pencitraan diri : Potret Suporter - Saat hati memilih

Suporter pasti akan selalu membela tim-nya terlepas dari die hard atau tidak. Hmmm... sebenarnya istilah die hard suporter itu masih belum saya pahami, entah karena saya tidak terlalu suka julukan itu atau alasan lain. Menganggap diri paling benar sudah biasa di kalangan suporter. Tim yang dibela pasti yang selalu terbaik. Contohnya saya, yang mengaku menjadi pendukung tim Manchester United yang dengan segenap hati saya tahbiskan menjadi tim juara dan terbaik di hati saya. Demikian juga dengan sahabat saya yang begitu mencintai Arsenal-nya dan menganggap gunners tim terbaik. Padahal tim yang berhasil meraih enam gelar dalam semusim adalah Barcelona (nah lho!) Argumen pun tak terelakkan dan sekuat apapun kita berargumentasi takkan bisa merubah pendirian seorang suporter. Coba tanyakan saja ke fans Liverpool yang sudah lama sekali tidak juara, mereka akan dengan bangga tetap menyatakan diri mereka pendukung Liverpool. Apa yang dapat kita ubah? tetap dengan bangga kita beberkan kehe...

Cinta tidak mengenal batasan : Pantaskah kita menilai ekspresi kegembiraan seorang supporter?

Terkadang kita berlebihan saat merayakan tim yang kita dukung meraih gelar juara. Pertanyaannya adalah siapa yang tidak akan merayakannya? Terlepas dari "major" atau tidak kejuaraan tersebut, menurut pendapat saya adalah sangat wajar seseorang atau fans ikut bergembira merayakannya walaupun tim yang didukungnya berada di belahan dunia lain. Cinta tidak mengenal batasan bukan? dan bukankah wajar mengekspresikan cinta yang kita miliki. Memang ekspresi bermacam-macam dan bahkan ada beberapa yang terkesan berlebihan dan menuai banyak hujatan dari berbagai pihak. Tapi pantaskah kita menghina mereka yang mengekspresikannya? Pada saat Real Madrid berhasil menjuarai Copa Del Rey, banyak sekali hujatan mengenai selebrasi supporter Madrid(di Indonesia) yang dinilai berlebihan pada saat disorot di tv, bahkan ada juga yang membandingkan gengsi trophy yang diraih dan selebrasi yang dilakukan. Saya yang membaca pun jadi terheran-heran. Apa salah fans Madrid merayakannya? mereka berhak ...

The Shocking Comeback : Did i read it right? Jens Lehmann back from his retirement?

After leaving Arsenal in 2008 for Stuttgart and retired last summer, "daddy" Wenger recalled his former goalie Jens as his solution with Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny both injured. Shocking eh? or is it a very desperado move from Wenger ? or he tried to example SAF's who still believe in VDS? hahhaa but hmmm...we'll see. But no matter how strange Wenger decision, i believe the 41 years old Jens will bring a positive effect in Arsenal dressings room. We'll see the effect on the title race. And welcome back Jens!

The Unbelievable News : 5 match ban for Fergie!

Shocking news, i can't believe it happens during this "hectic" title race. Ah yes, for those who always say United has being supported by reffs decision, this is one more example to remind you all that reffs not always favouring us and how we always fight till the end. And the 5 games Fergie will miss are (and fined £30,000 by FA chiefs) : WEST HAM (a) Prem Apr 2 FULHAM (h) Prem Apr 9 MAN CITY (Wembley) FA Cup semi-final Apr 16 or 17 EVERTON (h) Prem Apr 23 ARSENAL (a) Prem May 1 But from the further information, the ban can start on the game vs bolton. So, Fergie will be back on the pitch at Emirates. We love you Fergie! C'mon you Reds!

The Atonement : Roo's overhead kick winners against city

Roo's finally had the chance to get the fans heart again after the transfer saga chaos. He melted it all with his stunning overhead kick and the celebration showing a class of his own. "I owed United Fans That Goal"- that's what Roo said(via RoM)...indeed! The most important thing is we got 3 points against our noisy neighbour. United has showed them the mentality, the class above the rest. Top of the league, one game in hand, a perfect combination of course! Despite of the winner, the 4-5-1 formation is almost made me can't breath..why not 4-4-2 in the important game like this? but i guess SAF's already had his own calculation. Can't say much really :) A screamer goal, a derby winner and the celebration...is it gonna be Roo's atonement day?

Chelsea-Liverpool Bigmatch : Torres, the 50million pounds man in action!

The big day for poolz and chelsea fans. The main topic is Fernando Torres,the brown hair "blonde wannabe" boy who "betrayed" his idol club Liverpool. 50 million pounds is the investation nominal. Will he scored, will he be the greatest and bring Chelsea to retain the BPL Trophy and win the UCL for the first time? First half, seems Torres still trying to adapt with Chelsea play scheme. Not much of touch but had a chance before Carra block the ball off Torres feet. The game are interesting to watch, high tension and they aim to win the game. The thing is, with the man they called King Kenny i see a better liverpool now. The passion King Kenny brought has been an antidote to Poolz worse play all this time, and specially without Torres. Poolz should've led in the first half when Maxi's touch from Gerrard's assist hit the post bar, should've scored it's should've been a goal. Chelsea also had a couple of chances but Carra's been a soli...

Malam penuh kilau cahaya...

21 Desember 2010 Tak sabar rasanya ingin melihat pertandingan yang mendebarkan ini...tak sabar rasa hati ini melihat 11 pemain Garuda bertempur merebut tiket final yang sudah di depan mata. Setelah di leg pertama kita menang 1-0 lewat heading Christian Gonzales, hari ini saya dan teman-teman menyaksikan leg ke-2. Semua tentunya berdebar menantikan game ini dan tak sabar ingin melihat tim Garuda kebanggaan kami mengepakkan sayapnya menuju final. Memasuki stadion, tempat "ibadah" nan sakral ini sudah dipenuhi lautan manusia. Akhirnya saya berhasil mendapatkan tempat duduk setelah sempat duduk di tangga. Bagi saya yang ada di tempat tertinggi stadion GBK, saat itu perasaan saya berkecamuk...tak dapat terurai kata-kata. Satu per satu saya nikmati pemandangan puluhan ribu bahkan mungkin ratusan ribu manusia yang memenuhi tiap sudut stadion tanpa jarak dari ujung ke ujung dan penuh kilau dan kilat cahaya yang tak henti-hentinya memancarkan sinar. Sejauh mata memandang, merah y...

Naturalization is the answer for Garuda? The AFF 2010 Journey

Indonesia National Football Team...Usually always being underestimated by people even Indonesians themselves! but yeah this time we prove we can win (and with style of course)! The AFF Squad this time is different. We have 1 naturalization player, Christian Gonzales and welcome home Irfan Bachdim. Christian was born in paraguay while Irfan have Indonesia blood from his father side. Well, with Mr.Riedl in control, Christian "el locco" and Irfan, not to mention Oktavianus Maniani "the black pearl" now we headed to the next step. Now the game is more entertaining, more sharp passing and more passionate football shown by the team. Never in my life i watch Indonesia win the game when i watch at the GBK. But on the 1st of december 2010, i had a fiesta! we won 5-1 against our rival malaysia(gonzales and irfan made their first appearance and a goal each). And today, on the 2nd game of AFF, we crushed Laos 6-0...fantastic score and yes, it was a party to us Indonesian ...

End of the Saga...Roo stays! dan sebuah maaf untuk Roo dan Scholes :)

Dan akhirnya Wayne menandatangani 5 tahun kontrak perpanjangan di United. Gue percaya semua fans akan happy dengan keputusannya. Dan yang pastinya yg gw tahu my friend bang pat dan ardi adalah dua orang yang luar biasa bahagia dengan berita ini :) Banyak banget yang pengen ditulis tapi entah kenapa semua ini(lega,seneng,bete) smuanya campur aduk dan membuat gw jadinya tidak bisa menulis. Congratulations wayne, you have made a right decision! Dan tampaknya teman saya Ardi menuntut permintaan maaf tentang tulisan gw yang "gembira" saat Scholes mengtackle keras roo di sesi latihan :) Ini kata-kata dr Ardi : "c'mon accident happens do you seriously think scholesy would want to go out there and injure people?he can't tackle that's obvious except for de jong, i don't believe there's a professional who wants to go out there and injure another professionals" - Antonius Ardi D. Jadi, untuk itu gw minta maaf untuk scholes krn telah membuat di...

About wayne's saga

I don't know what went wrong with our wayne. He was in love with United and he'd even said that he want a permanent contract with United. But now, what happen? what happen with the fire? where's the love? Guess it started with the disclosure of his affair while his wife pregnant. I don't care about the affair (agree with my friend Ardi) as long it doesn't make an impact on his performance. SAF on the other side trying to play the father figure role like he used to do all this time. But wayne seems unhappy and let the ogre side of his out and ruined it all and all this mess lead us to another shocking fact. The fact that wayne's want more on his payment. For me it is reasonable to gain more but this is United, u will be rewarded wayne. With this mess that he made, his "so not wayne" act has an impact to the team. And the impact is not good! And suddenly all United fans booing him and even have a new chants "Wayne Mooney"...but i don...

Another draw result! can't you believe it?

Ow my dear God...it's torturing to see the result 2-0 and then it turns out to be a draw again...i just can't believe what i've seen! No..no way jose! it is just a dream and am gonna wake up *sigh* But as i said, when we support United we don't care win lose or draw we just support United but of course there will be a lil critism when they play badly. And this time everything looks like its gonna be ok when United leading 1-0, 2-0 but suddenly wesbrom has found their way to bounce back and with VDS blunder the score stay at 2-2. And the worse of it all is when the "so called" United fans suddenly burst out "Edwin made stupid mistake like Green" arghhh at that point my heart aching. WE, MAN UNITED SUPPORTER WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT UNITED WHATEVER THE RESULT! and for God's sake, VDS has always been and always will be our heroes despite the fact that he made blunder. One time and can erase all the saves he made for United? i don't think so....

Another draw,another points wasted...and guess who's in 2nd place?

I believe that United will desperately fight for 3 points before the game vs Sunderland started, specially with blues on the killing fields battling with gunners on the next day. It'll put a pressure on them if we win the game. But the game shows the opposite *sigh* Poor, pathetic performance shown by the lads. I don't know why but argghhh United are very lucky not conceiding a goal from the black cats. Sunderland in my opinion deserves a full 3 points from us! And guess what?? chelsea won over arsenal(although i really thought arsenal deserves 3 points and chelsea were lucky enough!) and that made them strong in the top of the league. And that was nothing compare to this. ManCity won over Newcastle and they jump to the 2nd position of the league and force United satisfied with the 3rd place. Holly crap! City above United??? arghhh can't really imagine this before...but now its happening. Our noisy neighbour was really really put their stereo on. Hrgghhh...i believe ...

A Victory in Mestalla, a secure 3 point

This is my timeline on twitter this morning : It's not always about scoring a goal but how u make a difference in the game. Dedicated to Nani,Kiko :) #UNITED That's reffering to Nani whom i tought had a marvelous time of his career and Kiko who gave the assist so Javier can score in Mestalla. To be honest, i am still not impressed by the performance. Our defence still looks vulnerable. Thank God Rio's back, couldn't wonder what will happen with the quick pace Valencia's shown without him. The twin towers are back! And this young Italians, Kiko. Just came in from the bench and provide an assist, i think he was incredible. The spirit he had shown last night were fantastic! Anderson, it's been quite a long time not seeing his performance. And talking about him, i remembered my chat with my friend Ardi. He told me, watch and see...you're looking for Scholes successor? i got one name for you. ANDERSON! If Sir Alex put his trust on him, he will be our next...

Another draw in away...

Ya, the third draw at Old Trafford in BPL games. 2-2 draw against Bolton after dropped behind twice. Nani played well and Bolton really show their efforts to win the game but Owen's goal saves United from lost. My eyes are on Roo's. I don't know, he seems to losing his touch. I know he face very serious marriage problem but i'm (and all ManUnited fans i believe) hoping he strongly survive until it's through. There's another (former) United player that had been through a tough problem. Hated by his country, booed by United fans. He's Beckham. And he strongly survive through Sir Alex guidance and his strong will from his World Cup red card and can perform extremely well for United. From hero, zero to hero again. Hopefully Rooney will bounce back. Despite the fact Barca has put interest on him, i'm sure Rooney know where his home at. We believe you Roo!

Tottenham's new signing : Van der Vaart!

2 hours before the transfer window dateline, Spurs came with a surprise 8m pounds for Van Der Vaart. Good player i wish i can see him in United jersey a few years back then. Too bad his knee injury kept him struggling. It's time for him to shine again with Spurs and yeah, this season BPL is more and more interesting. Now, Rafael's gonna have a new start in BPL. Not to forget his beautiful wife Sylvie will be a new celebrity in WAGs with Damian their son. Well, have fun and stay safe Rafael! welcome the "new beckhams" :)

England is Red?...and congrats to Matt

It begun with me annoyed with how England play their game at the World Cup. They should've been in the top position of the group. In the end, they have to fight till the last match to secure the runner up position. In the last game, they wore red (their second jersey) and guess what? they wonnn hahaha...so, me and my friends talking "maybe England should wear red like ManUnited" hehehe... Oyah, our friend Matthew is very nervous before the game and having the time of his life when Defoe scored and after the final whistle he can't stop smiling hahaha...congrats Matt, we're happy for you mate :) What a nite for England fans... England will meet Germany...another classic! i hope England will win :) *sorryyy Amiii :) *

And how much i love Gazza!

Mungkin bagi sebagian orang orang selebrasi Gazza dan Scholesy sabtu kemarin sangat "gay" dan aneh. Saya tidak bisa menyalahkan orang yang berpikiran seperti itu terlebih saat tahu yang mengatakan itu adalah mereka yang bukan supporter Manchester United. Gazza memang terkenal sebagai pemain yang berhati supporter. Dia tidak segan-segan mengacuhkan teman-temannya yang "menghianati" Manchester United. Sepertinya memang Gazza terlahir sebagai United. Mental dan Loyalitasnya membuat dia kian dicintai oleh para supporter United dan mungkin dia sendiri pun tidak bisa mengukur kadar cintanya terhadap ManUnited. Di game ketat melawan City, setelah memasuki menit ke 90 tanpa gol dan dengan bayangan-bayangan lepasnya gelar juara BPL (terlebih jika Chelsea mampu menang atas Spurs) tentu jantung semua pendukung United berdebar keras dan sangat mengharapkan kemenangan atas City untuk menjaga peluang gelar juara. Demikian pula Gazza yang merasakan langsung ketat dan tegangnya per...

Keep it that way neighbour !

Sebagai pendukung Manchester United, pertandingan melawan City adalah game yang sangat penting dan ditambah dengan julukan "derby". Game kian seru mengingat betapa berkembangnya tetangga kita ini berkat kucuran dana segar dan aroma persaingan tingkat tinggi, mereka ingin 4 besar dan kita menginginkan gelar ke 19. Rivalitas di atas lapangan pun tak bisa dihindari. Dengan hampir ditiup peluit akhir dan tak ada gol yang tercipta, semua pendukung United pun harus bersiap kembali kecewa dengan hasil akhir karena United bermain baik dan hanya kurang beruntung saja tidak mendapatkan gol. Tambahan waktu 3 menit terasa sangat singkat sebelum akhirnya Paul "ginger prince" Scholes menghentak City of Manchester Stadium dengan heading sempurna yang melesat masuk menembus jala City. Tekanan berat pun terasa terlepaskan. Euforia kegembiraan pun pecah dan weekend itu menjadi weekend sempurna saat Chelsea dan Arsenal kalah dari Spurs dan Wigan. Ahh..how much i love the game :)

England Struck on UCL...

Since 2007, England always put their representation through semifinal and final. I remember in 2007 Milan were surrounded by england sides(although they won over those poolz 2-1). 2008, it was United who won through (another) dramatic final. With Ronnie's failure to score in penalty kick, we thought the Cup were flying to Chelsea. Until that moment when Terry slipped and VDS "magical" saves against Anelka kick and Giggs seal the final kick to make United won in Russia. 2009, United as a defending champions through to Rome. But, this time Barca won. Now in the 2010 UCL, with ManUnited defeat against Bayern there's no England sides in the semis. With Barca-Inter, Bayern-Lyon surely the weather is changing. As a ManUnited supporter, i hope United will play in Barnebau but the reality hit me one more time and it feels hurt more than the lost against Chelsea last saturday. We won, but the aggregate kill us although i have to admit that Robben's volley was beautiful. Wh...

This is how it feels like to be City...

This is how it feels like to be City, This is how it feels to be small, This is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all And that exactly how we feel when United defeated after the game versus chelsea... Drogba's goal is offside! i don't know why the ref didn't bring up the offside flag and Ji Sung should get a penalty! and that's killing us! what they're up to? we missed Wayne's there and after Carrick left the field, we are "attacked" by chelsea. Arggghhhh... can't say much but Garry expression can tell how we feel about the result...
