Facebook and football
After having many friends on Facebook who are also football-crazy, it was inevitable that over the weekend, my Status Updates bar would end up looking like this:

‘Hungary’ for pole position? Think again
Just read that Formula One champ Fernando Alonso has been showing his ugly side again. If he wants to prove he’s still number one, he should show it through his superior driving skills and not by doing nasty things like spreading conspiracy theories that his British constructor (McLaren) is biased in favour of a British…

Congratulations to John Terry, I do not doubt he deserves the PFA Award. A few hours from now, we’ll see if Chelsea win the title, or win it a bit later. Sounds like a win-win situation doesn’t it.

He shot a winner through the legs of at least five men who were scrambling in front of the goal. And he scored a penalty. Total: two goals in the first half. However,…

Guess you must be glad that you actually chose to continue watching the Arsenal game rather than do your church website. And that Arsenal eventually prevailed.
Ha… Actually, I gave up at half time and resumed work on my church website.
Then, 20 minutes later, my father’s shout of triumph was so loud, I went back and learnt that Arsenal had scored a goal!
I continued watching… then caught the second goal! Hurrah.
Then I went back to work on my church website! Been working very late.
