Rise of The Blue Moon & The Fallen Devils

 City Claims Second Title in Three Years



It was the blue half of Mancunian celebrated  by parading the trophy in Manchester. Again it was Manchester City hailed as champion of England twice in three seasons. Quite a remarkable achievement for the team who fought hard for decades to step out from the  shadow of more fancy neighbor of Manchester United. For long time it was the Red Devils who dominated the headlines with their achievements. Now City is the best in England while United finished miserably at seventh place, their worse standing since the inception of Premier League  in 1992.
What when wrong with Man United? David Moyes regime reigned for only 10 months. The man who chosen by Sir Alex himself.  I believed Moyes was capable to thrust Man United into the new height or atleast sustain the Red Devils supremacy.  There were no serious reports in dressing room unrest to indicate players mutiny against him. May be it too much for Moyes to carry the huge name of Man United brand name.
Also been blamed for the dreadful season was Sir Alex himself. Moyes inherited a weak and old team from the legendary Scot. Every year there were talks about replacing Scholes but no one had arrived. Micheal Carrick was the only one stand out at the midfield but he also seemed to out of gas. Vidic and Ferdinand were already passed their prime but their understudy – Jones, Smalling and Evans were still far away from the expected class.
However Sir Alex was not alone in the blaming list. Top of the chart were the Glaziers. It was reported the Glaziers spend lot of money to pay their enormous debts so little were left to buy world class players. Last time  it was only Chelski that gave Man United buying power look unattractive now came Manchester City. Man United could not afford to lose great players to these clubs.
Now Louis Van Gaal was appointed as the new gaffer with three years contract. In his office awaiting £200 million transfer kitty. Giggs was appointed as his no 2. So he still need the influence of Giggs to make sure all in his control. Meaning his leaving his no 2 in Holland antional team – Patrik Kluiverts.
He is a great man winning a lot of titles with great clubs. So with money his pocket the attention will be the new players that he rope in. I believed among others would be Arjen Robben and Kevin Strootman. First of all both are Dutch secondly Man United really this kind of players in their squad. Van Gaal was dislike in Barcelona because of his Dutchification. He turned Barcelona into Ajax Amsterdam. He brought along many Dutch players during his tenure at Barca from  1997 -2000. However he was the one who discover the great talents in Xavi, Iniesta and Valdes. So in the other words he is very good with young players.
 Kroos will come in if he failed to get Strootman. But still he needed somebody that could spark creativity in the midfield. Kroos and Strootman is box to box player where sometimes their position deep in midfield. Febragas should be the best candidate however he was reported preferring Arsenal if he had to go back to England. Kros and Febragas partnership would be awesome.
At the back Luke Shaw seemed to be heading to Manchester United. Hope this could be true. He was the revelation for this season   He energy, skills and speed are really tremendous as his is only 18 years old. With Evra leaving the leftback postion will be his for along time.  One more area Man United need to boost is central defend. I would love if Mat Humels or Ezakiel Garay to come in.
However Manchester City really deserved to be the champion. They are solid and compact team. They main man easily Yaya Toure. He is the complete  midfielder. The closest to him would be Stevie G. The whole team is superb from the backline to the strikers. It gave you a scare when you see Stevan Jovetic as their fourth striker while the  names like Jaxi Garcia, David Siva, James Milner at the bench.
So Glory Glory Man United

Konvoi dan Marshal

Marshal konvoi tanpa polis satu kesalahan
16 May 2014

KUALA LUMPUR 15 Mei - Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) memandang serius perbuatan segelintir individu yang menjadi marshal dalam konvoi kenderaan tanpa penglibatan anggota polis trafik di jalan raya ke­rana tindakan itu menyalahi undang-undang serta boleh dikenakan tindakan.

Ketua Trafik Pasukan Bukit Aman, Senior Asisten Komisioner Mohd. Fuad Abd. Latiff berkata, tiada undang-undang yang membenarkan marshal bertugas untuk mengawal lalu lintas di jalan raya tanpa kehadiran anggota polis trafik.

“Keperluan bantuan tugas marshal mesti dengan kehadiran rasmi polis trafik seperti dalam acara berbasikal Le Tour De Langkawi dan Jelajah Malaysia.

“Sekiranya mana-mana individu atau kumpulan menjalankan tugas marshal tanpa kehadiran polis, mereka boleh dikenakan tindakan undang-undang me­­ngikut Seksyen 21(3) Akta Polis atau Seksyen 79(2) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan," katanya dalam sidang akhbar di Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman di sini hari ini.

Mohd. Fuad berkata, pengguna jalan raya tidak perlu mengikut arahan marshal sekiranya tiada penglibatan anggota polis trafik.


“Tidak salah sekiranya mereka hanya memakai pakaian bertulis marshal mengikut konvoi, tapi kesalahan berlaku apabila mereka menahan kenderaan lain bagi memberi laluan kepada kumpulan mereka," ujarnya.



Dah lama gak sebenarnya terbit rasa sedikit tak puashati ngan geng motor besar ni. Bukan jeles kat depa yang mampu beli sebiji tayar berharga RM800 atau helmet Arai RAMIII Gauloises harganya RM8000 tu.  Tak juga terasa walaupun  aku ni tak mampu untuk memiliki sepasang sarung tangan berhargaRM100..

Yang aku geram depa ni buat jalan raya macam depa punya. Berapa kali terserempak dengan depa ni aku dipaksa untuk ketepi dan perlahankan kereta. Maka berderumlah mereka dengan jumlah yang banyak menguasai lorong di jalanan. Heran gak masa tu depa ni ada lesen untuk memecut lebih dari 110km/sejam ka.  Berdesut ja perginya ketika meter kelajuan kereta aku telah pun menunjukkan 110 km/sejam. Pastinya ini di lebuhraya. Ada sekali aku saja buat keras kepala berada di lorong kanan memecut pada 110km/sejam, kelihatan segorombolan motor besar cepat menghampiri. Dalam beberapa saat sahaja sebuah motor yang pastinya perasaan marshal meminta semua kereta ke kiri. Aku buat dek ja. Kemudian perasan marshal tu berada di sebelah aku kanan aku memberi isyarat perlahan dan meminta aku ke kiri. Aku buat muka bebai  (kata orang penang). Si perasan marshal memberi senyuman dan terus meminta aku ke kiri. Aku buat mulut kumat kamit seolah sedang berkata sesuatu yang aku tak puas hati padahal aku sendiri tak tahu apa aku cakap. Akhirnya aku mengalah dan si perasan marshal memberi thumb up kat aku. Tapi aku terus buat muka marah. Hahahaha saja ja sebenarnya.

Kemudian aku membuka booth di sebuah event di hotel five stars di Pulau Pinang. Yang bestnya ialah gathering dan mensyuarat kumpulan motor besar. Aku terus bertanya hal konvoi dan marshal kepada seorang orang kuat kumpulan ni. Dia menjawap  marshal tidak hak untuk menahan kenderaan yang lain dan dia mendakwa kumpulan motornya tidak akan berbuat demikian. Malah dalam ahlinya ada terdapat juga pegawai polis yang turut menjadi penasihat. Aku bertanya lagi kenapa lately ada banyak kemalangan melibatkan motor besar. Dia menjawap kemungkinan besar yang terlibat dengan kemalangan adalah orang yang baru belajar menunggang motor besar. Menunggang besar ni mengikut beliau perlu latihan yang banyak termasuk mengenali lebih dalam tentang pemotoran. Ada juga kemungkinan mereka ni cuba menunjuk-nunjuk padahal kurang pengalaman mengendali motor besar.

Setelah berkali di tahan oleh perasan marshal kali terakhir di Batu Kawan oleh perasan marshal yang mengawal sekumpulan besar kerata Fairlady akhirnya aku puas hati setelah mengetahu yang ketidakpuashati aku tu dipihak yang benar.

Kita boleh ambil gambar dan buat laporan jika ni terjadi. Yihaaaaaaa
