i HEART Nike!

There is something about me. I love Nike. I love their products, I love their commercials, I love the way they do their marketing. It fortunate that Man U is sponsored by them. I just can"t imagine them being sponsored by adidas. Since I'm having a stable job right now, I have been looking out for Nike products. Currently have Nike shoes, Nike shirts and shorts. Not enough though. Would love to have more. If only I can get sponsored by them. Bad thing is that my gym will be sponsored by adidas starting next year. Kinda of sad, really. Its like cheating on your beautiful wife on a lower standard lady. Just wrong.

I love their commercials. They are just so unique. Have you seen the Brazilian football team commercials, old and new? Simply brilliant. My favourite commercials ever. Alot of other nice ones of course. The Joga Bonito series are a must watch. Feel like taking out the ball and just have a kick about everytime I watch them. 

The EPL have started. Man U is having a bad start again this year, but I'm confident that they will get through this. Been reading the newpaper lately and saw an article about the NBU (Nothing But United), versus the ABU (Anything But United). I can't understand why the ABU keeps dissing United. I bet if their favourite team is at the top, they would be boasting at others. Just shut it and concentrate on your own team. Not Man U's fault that they are doing well and their own team sucks. Seems to be that Liverpool's fan are the first ones to diss Man U (or Manure to them. That's SO original, oh grow up, please). 

Talking about the EPL, its kinda sad to see managers leaving their post because they were underminded by "Technical Directors". I don't see the point of them anyway. To me, managers are the boss of the team. It is just wrong to have these directors buy and sell players without consulting the managers. I can understand why Alan Curbishley and Kevin Keegan left. Not really a fan of Kevin Keegan, but what have Dennis Wise done after his playing career to let him have a final say over Keegan? I'm so glad that Mike Ashley is selling the club. 

Man City is now the richest club in the world. They will be adding to Robinho in the January transfer market with the best players in the world, so they say. I see a trend here, when you look at the Chelsea case. When Abramovich took over Chelsea, Claudio Ranieri was replaced after he couldn't win the title that year. I see that Mark Hughes will suffer the same fate even with the best players in Man City if he doesn't win the title this year. I saw the match between Man City and Chelsea and they seem so far apart in standard. It will be fun to see an influx of transfers in the January market, but I just don't see Man City challenging the top 4. Not in the near future at least, not with Mark Hughes.
