SUPERSTITION #1

I read with glee in today's online Telegraph.uk.

It had an article about David Beckham.

Ermmm. Let me be more specific. It had a story about Mr. Posh Spice, and his ... urmmm.. buns.

The story goes like this:

Beckham, who previously went by the name 'Goldenballs' - a pet name given to him by his wife Victoria (aka Posh Spice) - has been labelled 'Goldenbuns' because his AC Milan team-mates supposedly like to touch his backside for luck.

Since the 33-year-old's arrival on loan from LA Galaxy, Beckham has started every game for the Rossoneri and the Serie A club have since not lost a match.

And, when he scored for Milan during their 4-1 thrashing of Bologna at the weekend, his team-mates Andrea Pirlo and Clarence Seedorf made a point of stroking his posterior.

An 'insider' is even quoted in the Sun as saying: "Italy is a superstitious country, people touch things for luck. "Now the players are doing the same thing with Becks' bottom. He is seen as lucky." 

Woiittt ... janganlah. Nanti Posh ingat aku geiboi plak....

Only in Italy that superstition is taken to the limit. One of these days, Milan will crash to a home defeat infront of their fanatical fans in San Siro and Beckham's arse will be done for. 

Come to think of it, the Malaysian football team would need more than a bum grope to escape the doldrum its in. Our current ranking in world football is not something that we can jump for joy and shout "MALAYSIA BOLEH!" at.

The only way to turn Malaysia football around is also bum related. We just need to kick some old, hairy and crony asses off the organisation and bring in some new butts whose management, tactical and business savviness would be Blue Ocean to a football afficionado like moi.

But I better stop at that, before I get my own posterior into trouble!
