Friendly

International/club football friendly features Malaysia vs Etoile FC a french outfit club that playing their trade in Singapore league. A current S-League champion, they will provide us with a good physical challenge with our current player with some good technical ability.

For me, it doesn't matter whose Malaysia are playing, but the most important things is they manage to play together as a team and build up a good bonding & understanding for upcoming world cup qualifiers asian zone. To be realistic, we dont have the chance to go through until the finals that will be held in Brazil, but we are building a strong team that are challenging teams within asia region. We are the king of south east asia, now is the time for us to establish ourself as the next big things for asia. As we know are having a better structured of football team, with Harimau Muda A(under 22), Harimau Muda B (under 20), and 2 team that are playing in President cup (SSBJ). Plus another team that has just been assemble, under 17, 16 & 15. With all of the batch of player, it will provide the coach with vast of player to choose & more good player will coming through the rank.

Hopefully we gonna see the true Harimau Malaya spirit in the next few years Insyallah.

Worth Every Penny....

Its been a roller coaster ride for this team. Yes, this team, my favorite football team. Aston Villa football  club (diz one 4 BPL la). Why I love this team... Cannot be explain really, dont know how on earth I felt in love this team. Its kinda of weird actually for somebody living in this country to support a football club that did not have a global appeal such as Manchester United, Liver-fool, Ars-engal and Chel-C. The worst you could see people here would supported is Spurs or Newcastle. But no the Claret & Army (others name for Aston Villa FC)

Yeah, it is true, this team is one of the few team that have lift up the European Champion Cup in 1982, it long time before, I'm not even born at that time. Probably the best team in that generation. Currently, we place our self in the bottom half of the BPL table with about half of season have past by. It was not a good statistic comparing with the previous season when we are at the 6th place, in this time of season, last year. Yes, we in the session of rebuilding the team back after the shock resignation of the previous manager, Martin O Neil last summer. This time around, we have another good proven track record manager, a Frenchman, Gerrard Houllier.

Last week, Houllier smash up the club transfer record by the capture of former Sunderland marksman, Darren Bent for £24 million . His a striker with a very good goal scoring records. 32 goals in 58 Premier League appearance speak for it self of this player natural goal scoring ability. And last night, he paid the faith shown by the manager, by scoring in his debut against BPL title chaser, Manchester City. It still a long journey for our self to see where would we be at the end of the season, but with this encouraging result, we could probably stabilized our self in the top half of the table before too long and try to compete for a silverware...
