You would not like to  hold "crap', better go back for carpe diem :)

Hi Mike. Did you get my comment for that discussion? It wasn't the topic itself, but rather the comments being generated by the topic that made me think it's best to delete. Sorry.

hi Mike,Guess you have a pleasant trip in Austrilia. will go to Germany next week. Thank you for you invitation. i would like to join you guys. but really sorry, i am not availabel this Friday. hope you guys have fun and looking forwards to join you guys next time: )"

Hello Mike,

Sorry for the late reply. I wasn't away like you or occupied by anything, truth is lately I've been attacked by laziness...very seriously. I can't focus on anything. It's like my brain has turned into a wet sponge--I can't think, can't concentrate. And I find it really difficult for me to sit through a 2-hour game, thus I still haven't finished watching the FA game...and how pointless is it of me to ask you to recommend more games...

Oh well, I'll try to pull myself together and get back on track next month, nevertheless, World Cup is coming, I don't wanna miss the biggest event in sports!

Oh thanks for sharing the photo with me. I could see how happy you were, and how can Chris be so cute?

I have a jersey from season '12-'13, but I've never worn it. I'll try to wear it and send a photo to you as well.

Cheers,

Kate

Hi Mike, your life experience is impressived, I never judge people, I admire them and get along with them. Well I get my own temper, but still acceptable, you will see if u know me better.

Distance is never a problem for me, we are still in the same city,as one of my friend said its all up to the motivation of seeing people, so no worries, we can meet for sure. Actually I met u once in pennyblack few years ago, u were too busy with your ladies ;p

Cheers

Tina

that's like 30 years before i was even born but i bet it sounds great as it was back then and you need new flat-mate..

correction: it's Rugby, not rudby,

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your tips. But I am not heading to England, go to most of counties in Europe but not England.

Maybe you are right about the football, actually there is always something to see whatever they are in League one or two even lower.  Enjoy the atmosphere of rough men or relaxing like to stay in a pub to enjoy the live show... All are okay.

That's why I am very easy to like watching handball, also snooker. They might be not the main flow of sport in the world, especially handball, like you said. But it's enjoyable.

I now remember a guy E.K mentioned Rudby, it's interested that this is a name of city where people decided to divide football and rudby in the beginning of 19s. I watched a couple games in HK before, seems not bad, compared to american football. I perfer to watch rudby.

Hi Mike,

I used to be a fan of Chelsea, but recently, I watched some german clubs, no matter it is league 1, or 2, even league 5..etc. Women's cup , I feel the gap from league 1 - 3 or 4, is not very big in Germany. Just planed to go to watch some matches in Europe. I don't put myself as fan of any club anymore.

Another sport is also very interesting to me, I like handball as well. Unfortunately there is no much show time for handball in China.

World cup is coming, the heat of world cup is spreading here, would be joyful to watch some of them.

Hi Mike,

Yeah, I thought we'd go further...Torres even scored a goal! Note that he's our lucky star, usually we'd win if he scores, but unfortunately the magic doesn't work this time. But you are right, this isn't a season that we should expect too much. I'm sure we will do better next season!

I've only watched the first 30 mins of the FA Cup match so far. I found it very interesting though. The way they played is quite different from today's. There were many long balls, many crosses, and, many errors. I think that's the typical English football, right? I should watch more classic games from different periods. It's a very good way to study the development of football. Any recommendations?

My last three jobs were in Futian. Science Museum, Coco Park, and Exhibition and Convention Center to be specific. I went to Coco Park to have lunch with some friends last weekend. I saw some handsome white guy with grey hair also eating there. Was that you? :)

I hope we could make it to the final in Champions League next year. If not, we can still watch a PL game together on a Saturday night, what do you think?
