Manchester United

This is my Manchester United post!

I’ll be the first to admit that I know nuts about Man Utd besides whatever Ooib tries to drill into my head. But it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn’t exchange for anything else! Besides life of my parents maybe wtf.

Anyway we were in Manchester because Mister Potato is entering into a global partnership with Man Utd as their sponsor!  So the Mister Potato people very kindly gave us spots to join their press conference and meet the players session as well as watch a match at Old Trafford *big shiny eyes

Actually I wasn’t supposed to go wan.  I was supposed to wander around Manchester while everyone else is at Old Trafford but last minute someone opted out (loser wtf) so I got a pass too!

If you want the same experience we got, Mister Potato is sending two winners monthly to Old Trafford to watch a game and meet the players from now until 31 Dec!  Go here to find out how to get to Manchester.

Anyway there are 58 photos so they’re below the cut.

Now I know why got so many photos.  Cos three of them are of my outfit -_-

DSC02791

But I love this dress!

DSC02793

We had to dress formal for the press conference and the meet & greet session with the players.  So I wore this Azorias dress and a pink blazer (which totally didn’t match my black shoes wtf)

Super loved my dress btw 😀 Lately I’ve been all about otoko style (boyish) and keep wearing pants and shorts only but this dress turned me into a girl again wtf.

.

Our first view of Old Trafford from the bus.

We’re here!

.

We were ushered into a special room in the stadium which was all set up for the press con.

Omg best press con ever no other press con I go to will be able to top this.

.

With Mister Potato himself and Fred the Red!

.

The setup.

.

With Pierre of Mamee Double Decker and Fatty!

.

Vuitton and May of Mamee.

.

I liked this quote on the wall 😀

.

Press con started!  With Mamee VIPs and Alex Ferguson himself.

.

He looked like a very nice old man!  Unfortunately I could barely understand what he was saying -_-

Took videos! Ferguson talking about Park Ji-Sung.

DSC02814

Me and Giggsy wtf.

DSC02840

Mister Potato jersey!

.

We didn’t get to meet all the players actually!  Selected ones came for the launch.

DSC02857

Mame Diouf!  There because his name is Mame HAHAHAHA.  FTS just googled him and he’s two years younger than me *dark

(and no that wasn’t a racist joke)

He was very nice though! When I asked him for his autograph he gave me a big smile and happily signed it for me!  Then when I wanted a picture he bent down to be same height as me T_______T

.

Michael Owen!  When I saw him my heart melted.

But then he turned out to be not so friendly *heart shatters

He was just signing souvenirs non stop and didn’t even look up at me when I went up to him. And you would have thought he would have cos my jacket was so loud wtf.

Or maybe cos Fatty kept shouting at him “MICHEAL MICHAEL CAN WE HAVE A PICTURE? LOOK HERE!!!!” hahahahahaah damn rude lo call people he just met by first name!!

.

Park Ji-Sung!  Not very friendly either he just seemed very bemused by it all *heart shatters further

.

Bryan Robson!  Very nice *big shiny eyes

.

Gary Neville who surpassed my expectations in good looks wtf.


Here’s a video of Pierre teaching Neville how to speak Malay hahahaha sorry i accidentally cut it off -_-

.

Quinton Fortune who was also very nice.  And who has quite a nice singing voice cos he sang a bit of a song at dinner later!

.

Then stadium tour.

Our guide.

Panaromic view of Old Trafford.

.

This is where the players come out isn’t it!!!

.

Fatty in front of the dugout.

.

Fatty next to the pitch. *unimaginative captions

.

.

Inside the Mega Store where all kinds of MU merchandise conceivable reside!

DSC02896

Then we had dinner (also at Old Trafford) Special Mister Potato Asian themed dinner!

.

Premier League cup.  Real one apparently

.

Wanted in on the glory so forced myself into the crowd to take photos.

DSC02909

Denis Irwin!


Quinton Fortune being forced to sing What A Wonderful World!

.

Then next day we went back to Old Trafford for The Man Utd – Chelsea match 😀

.

Me and Cheryl of Mamee.  She’s only happy here cos she gets to stand next to me and feel superior.

.

Atmosphere around the stadium was amazing!  Overnight all these fan-owned stalls selling unofficial merchandise cropped up.  Some of the stuff they sold were cooler than the official merchandise!

.

Me and Fatty.

.

Haha awesome flags!

.

Pale pink baseball caps that I felt very tempted to buy.  Only that I look like shit in caps.

.

Bobsy twins with matching match scarfs.

.

With my only MU souvenir the scarf!  I got an autographed jersey but gave it to Ooib.

.

.

All the guys.

.

Police on horses to control the crowd!  So cool I wish they’d been there during #bersih wtf

.

One last photo outside.

.

Then time for us to in!  Climbing the stairs up to get to our seats.

.

Took this pic cos I thought it was cute to see three men with identical jerseys in a row hahaha.

.

Blue Chelsea corner surrounded by cops.

.

The tour guide told us that Ferguson makes it a point every game to make sure the pitch is watered before the start and during half time.  Forgot to ask why though wtf.

.

Players come out!

.

I loved the enthusiasm of the guy in front!

It was my first ever time watching a full football game, much less a live one and the experience blew me away T________T

I only know the basics of football but our view was fantastic and so was the crowd!  I think what I loved the most was the energy and atmosphere in the stadium.

Whenever a MU player neared the goal with the ball, everyone would jump to their feet and cheer or take up special MU songs that everyone in the stadium knew so they would all sing along together.

And whenever a MU goal was scored everyone would jump up and cheer and scream I was so touched I nearly cried WTF.

.

The reason why we were in Manchester.  Mister Potato ad on the side!

.

Another view of the packed stadium.  I thought it was gorgeous 😀

.

Game over. With Fatty and Ming.

DSC03002

Then dinner at Rio Ferdinand’s restaurant, Rosso.

.

Pierre was damn sweet he saw this pink United scarf in one of the unofficial stalls and got it for me T___________T And he didn’t know I secretly coveted it but didn’t buy it cos I already had my other scarf <3<3

All in all the Manchester trip was one of the most awesome experiences in my life thanks to Mister Potato T____T Click here if you wanna win a trip there too !

  • Niceee ! Btw can I know where u bought ur brown bag ? So niceeeeee !

  • *waves to aud on tweeter*

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOO i don’t want to read the part about Michael Owen!!!! *heart shatters

    in my mind when i walk up to him for a photo, he’d smile happily and say, ‘sure, anything for you pretty’ and he’d hug me damn tight around my waist and when we part, i’d find a note in my pocket which he’s slipped in without me knowing it, which says ‘i think i’ve found my soulmate’ and i’d weep and run back to him and tell him, you’d never walk alone wtf’ and we’d hug happily and live happily forever after wtf

    reading your Michael Owen part ruins it all for me 🙁

  • actually why did Owen look so tired and haggard in the photo? did he just come off from a tedious practice? why his wife never sayang him and make him hot ayam soup to drink? i really think i’d make a better wife lor wtf

  • wow you look like Ayumi in the first photo!

    i hate youuuuuuuuuu for being so pretty..

    hahaha

  • Aud,

    I have heard of MU, and it does make the news ever here in the States.

    Soccer just is not big here.

    However seeing your cuteness made the post worth reading.

    No wonder there were cops around.

    I have read that riots and fights between fans of opposing teams are common place in Euro zone soccer games.

    Have fun and stay safe!

  • CM asked you why you never tell Park Ji Sung you’re wearing clothes from his home country WTFF hahahahaha

  • u got the dress!!! no wonder its sold out! =( but i m glad i didnt get it..cos it fits your perfectly! which means i wouldnt have been able to fit in it…=D nice nice!!!

  • Michael Michael look here Michael shahs aha like paparrazi only Tim

    You look so pretty /shy and I love ur bag

  • SUPER like the dress and your hair!! why first pic so nice T___T want to see you T___T now T__T i come over now wtf *kicks tim away

  • Strawberry, I think you’re my favorite person and I don’t even know you wtf

  • Ooib: because you also want to make hot ayam soup for Owen? wtf

    i’m surprised you didn’t scold me!! normally MU fans don’t like any mention of Liverpool, not even chopped liver or swimming pool in the same sentence wtf. or maybe i have very petty guy friends wtf

  • OMG since when got pink MAN U SCARF!!!! lols…I’ve always been a devil supporter, fav player is giggs!

  • Great blogpost!
    It’s funny how Tim asked Michael Owen to take a pic but I can imagine the way he said it…Tim is too friendly!
    It’s a great experience though!

  • Your dress looks sweet.
