Old Trafford

I have a love-hate relationship with Manchester United. I hate them for being a soulless, money-making machine but- because they're the local boys- I'm kinda proud of their history and international fame.

This season they're slipping in the table and have allowed themselves to be beaten by lesser teams. This makes me happy. But when they beat Abramovitch's Chelsea the other day- ending Chelsea's unbeaten run of 40 games- I was happy too. I guess I just like seeing hubris brought down.

Anybody's hubris.

I used to have an Irish email buddy who was NUTS about Liverpool. I think one of the reasons he liked writing to me was because I live in Liverpool - in the U.S.

I must say i have a rather ambivalent relationship with Liverpool. Okay, so I'm still (mainly) on their side, but ever since the Scouse boyfriend dumped me, I've felt a certain glee whenever Liverpool have lost... Petty, but better than boiling his rabbit, I suppose! :-)
