Coincidence or Prophecy

Every newspapers I have read over the last two days have pitched Home United as the top contender for the S-League title this year. Tonight's results seemed to confirm these results (and the fact that our reporters are sharp) - WE ARE BACK - with vengeance.

COINCIDENTALLY, Manchester United also trashed Fulham 5-1 in their Premiership opener at home. See where they are now - top of the Premier League and most likely to clinch the title this year! (Even MAS ads scoff Chelsea's chances of winning the title this year) If destiny has it, it's the YEAR OF THE PROTECTORS!

A chat with bro Daniel concluded that HUFC still seems edgy at times. Some Home U players may be too eager to prove themselves in the Season opener, and appeared rather individualistic. But given that the team is young and fresh, that may be a good problem to have. Look at C. Ronaldo (ok, ok Man U again) - playing in his own little world until even his own teammates were seething with anger and frustration. But he was soon enlightened (probably by Fergie) and reckoned that he had to cross to his mates earlier - which he does now with occasionally flashes of individual brilliance. He is now considered one of Man U's best buys (the rest of his cohort has all disappeared).

So, give the Protectors time to click and they will be a formidable force where everyone is a potential threat to the opposing team in his own rights. Subsequent clashes with the big guns such as Tampines, SAF etc. will give a clear indication of whether we are championship material or not.
