Well, it looks like that the Red Devils are in an outstanding form and managed to scored 4 goals against their opponents four times in a row with wins against Wigan (4-0), Aston Villa (4-1), Dynamo Kiev (4-2) and lastly against...

ameyrp Well, although it was a good result for both team, I bet Manchester United will be a little disappointed with the outcome because they lost focus in the last few seconds and let Arsenal off the hook. good goal from Gallas though to deny the visitor from coming...

Do you find it is necessary to use emoticons while messaging or writing e-mails? For me personally it's not necessary and look very unprofessional indeed. But some of my colleagues keep on using the emoticons which I find quite...

ameyrp Emoticons used sparingly is the best way to go. It does liven up boring conversation

ameyrp I certainly agree with you. As football world cup is the most watched event in the world, South Africa will do their best not to embarrass themselves in front of the world. But will their best effort is enough? Only time will tell

ameyrp Emoticons if used sparingly will give light to otherwise bring and serious conversation, that's the reason they've been created in the first place. But some people do misuse it

ameyrp Yes, I agree with you. The emoticons if used excessively doesn't contribute to the conversation and can be quite annoying, especially if we have to try to understand the message that's been delivered during the conversation

After a series of 1-0 win earlier in the season, Manchester United looks like regaining their form and managed to scored 4 goals against their opponents three times in a row with wins against Wigan (4-0), Aston Villa (4-1) and...

ameyrp After a slow start, both weayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez have prove their critics wrong by combining perfectly and contributed to the 12 goals scored in the last 3 games. Hope the goals continue to flow from the dynamic duo

I've read today that Manchester United is set to offer Ryan Giggs a new contract. Is this a wise move by Alex Ferguson? He is 34 already and have played for United for 17 years! Amazing feat for a professional footballer to stick...

ameyrp I agree with you that he is old, but he can always contribute perhaps not in full 90 minutes action, but in patches. Could become super-sub or whenever Manchester United need experience against hard opponents the field

Between this two classic board games, I tend to like Monopoly more due to the business-like nature of the game. Furthermore I'm not that good at vocabulary in order to really succeed in playing it.

ameyrp Hello christineli, Occasionally I played Scrabble too, but I kept on losing to friends who have better vocabulary than me. They came out with difficult English words that churned out high marks! There's no way I could match them

ameyrp Yes, it's a fun game to be played together with family members or friends. If you have good vocabulary, you should try Scrabble though

ameyrp He can still give impactful performance coming from the bench due to his experience. Perhaps Sir Alex could start with Nani or Anderson, and if they still not managed to unlock the opposition defence, then it is time to unleash the Welsh Wizard!

ameyrp He's not as exciting as during the years where he was used as a left winger. His dribbling was simply amazing. Nowadays Sir Alex used him as an central attacking midfielder or second striker, perhaps due to his age.

ameyrp I agree with you that Giggs do not have to play 90 minutes or even to start every matches. He could come in during the last 25 minutes or so perhaps to replace Nani and to break down opponents. He will definitely give more impact to the team using this way

ameyrp We all can learn from this lesson. The emergency is for us to use, not for the emergency of others. If the fund get borrowed by someone else, we don't even know whether it will be paid eventually or not. Have to start from scratch again to kickstart the fund

ameyrp That is a very good suggestion. But easier said than done though. It's hard to act calm when you feel like defending yourself all the time. Good comment

ameyrp Glad to know that I'm not alone. Yes it's easy to procrastinate, especially when we face with a daunting task or chores that we hate to do. There must be a way to procrastinate effieciently :)
