Hey guys, I am back! 
Had the time of my life. Was sitting in the 2nd row on Utd's side,
but the downside is had most of my view of the first half blocked
by their dugout. So had to see the screen mostly for the 1st half
action. 2nd half played mostly by the substitute guys, and to tell
the truth, think their performance was a little bit disappointing.
Maybe the heat got to them. It's one hell of a burning furnace over
there. Fergie was wearing T-shirts and shorts!! First time see him
so "lok"
I was hanging around the wall of the tunnel before the match
started, and Giggs and Ronaldo and some of the rest were just
standing there, metres from me!! I almost died from the excitement
and exhilaration I tell you! Tried to take some shots but my hand shook
too much from the excitement, only manage a blur shot of Giggs
closed up 
Ronaldo was fantastic during the warm-up. Duno he showing off or
wat , but his dribbling and
stepovers were just so amazing.... even more so to see it live! He
was quite friendly, waving occasionally to the stands.
What I find really disappointing was the Macau fans 
. They don't seem as passionate about
the sports and the team as we do, or the UK fans do. The game
started at 8pm, and the guys came out for their warm-up around
7.30pm. You would expect a packed stadium to be welcoming them and
cheering them. But they came out to a 20% filled stadium. Even when
the whistle blew at 8pm, there were still visibly empty seats all
around, and some pple only began streaming in at 8.15pm onwards.
AND, they left before the final whistle! Perhaps to catch the ferry
back to HK or what, but come on, it's Manchester United there, and
their show of support (or lack of) is really disappointing!
Dong came out to the pitch to parade the League Cup before the game
started....but to a half-emtpy stadium. Those that were there
barely clapped or anything. 
When the trophy presentation came about 20 minutes after the match,
there were only trickles of fans left, less than 500 fans, I think.
I'm just so disgusted with their utter lack of support. And the
fans were soooo dull during the game. Hardly any chantings, no
yells of encouragement. Only feeble chants of "ka yau" (Jia you in
canto) from a small group of fans from the HK fan club. They tried
to do the wave, but it always died before going even a quarter
round the stadium.
And the stadium....errmm...it was quite old and lok-cok. Something
like our Jalan Besar. Capacity of 15,000.
No doubt some of the empty seats were from the black market guys
who din manage to sell their tics. I asked the guy whom I bought
the tics from how come he's not going to the match. He said the
tics were from friends who can't make it, and admitted he had more
tickets available.
Back to the players...saw Hargreaves sitting at the dugout during
the entire game. He looked really bored. Alan Smith got a new
Mohawk hairstyle
Ronaldo and Rooney disappeared back into the tunnel about 10
minutes into the 2nd half, after they were substituted. And never
appeared again. Some of the guys still mingled around after the
game to do a spot of running on the pitch and even signed T-shirts
for the fans who were still standing around.
Who were the friendliest? Van Der Sar, Eagles, Carrick, Silvestre
all made the effort to walk to the stands to mingle with the fans.
I was standing on the other side where there was a barrier,
sigh...so could only watch and drool while they signed autographs
with the fans at the other side of the tunnel. Eagles' really nice,
even walked up the stands. Alan Smith waved a few times, and before
he disappeared into the tunnel, threw his jersey to the waiting and
screaming fans. He was the only one who did.
Kuszczak was very dao. Totally ignored all the fans and walked
straight into the tunnel. Fergie was quite friendly actually,
smiled and waved.
The game, think you guys got all the first-hand news from the net
and stuff already. Nani had a really good game. So excited to see
him play!
The guys left almost immediately after that in their coach. There
was an army of security guys there, and no less than 5 patrols
escorted them off.
Manage to take some shots, but not very closed up and some quite
blur. Will put them up shortly.
Still very shack from the trip, just got back early this
morning...reach home 3am. Okay, going back to zzzz....will see if I
can put up the fotos tonite
