The Match...

Managed to buy the Sunderland vs Arsenal tics at onli 5 pds. Well... it's not the EPL matches but the Carling Cup matches, so ticket prices tend to be cheaper. A typical EPL ticket would cost at least 30 pds, incredible izzit?? Yet there are still people willing to fork up the money to watch 1 match. It's a home game for Sunderland so we just took a Metro (similar to MRT) to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland. It was a 20 min journey and we soon reach the stadium. The place was crowed with people wearing red and white strips jersery, most probably the Sunderland fans. We had to queue for quite a long time to enter the stadium.


The stadium was totally packed with people. It's like another NDP in S'pore. We got quite a good seat, just a few rows from the field so it's kinda up close and personal. We are at one corner of the stadium so we could catch an even better view when the players take a corner kick. It is 7.45pm and the match is about to begin. The Sunderland players ran into the the field with the fan cheering loudly behind. This was followed by alot of booing when the Arsenal players came in. Well... that's the moral disadvantage for away team. It was a one sided match with Arsenal dominating the whole game. Arsenal had fielded in their youth players but they still managed to win the game with a 3-0 victory. It is really a good experience watching a live match with the fans cheering for their own teams.

After the match, we went to the casino. Well... we din go down for the gambling but for the FREE buffet. The casino is providing free food and drinks on sunday, monday and tuesday nights to attract a bigger crowd. They are even giving free DVD players if you visit the casino for 20 times in 1 month. The supper for that night is steak and it was superb, the best and most filling meal I had so far. Well...it's a pity that Regent, Zhen Siong and Yusen can't eat beef.
