Pissed. With a capital P.

I am appalled. Seriously. I may even barf.

I just found out MINUTES ago that Astro will not be showing the Arsenal-Sevilla match which will take place in approximately 2-3 hours time from now.

So what will they show?

Boring ol' struggling Man Utd against a reasonably 'lesser' side known as Sporting Lisbon.

and Barcelona vs Lyon whose fanbase may be questionable over here in Asia.

Like what the heck?

I have been reading pre-match buildups to the match in forums and soccer sites and almost everyone all over the world is anticipating the Arsenal-Sevilla encounter! Closely followed by the Barca-Lyon match.

Argh. I'm so freaking pissed I am struggling to find words to explain my inner emotions.

I think I know. Freaking ESPN-Star Sports producers are biased people. I can imagine the very scene right now.

Mr.Producer#1 looks at the list of fixture briefly and then asks, despite quite reluctantly, "Eh, what match should we show ah this week?", all while stroking his coffee mug with a huge Manchester United emblem printed on it.

Mr.Producer#2 stares at Mr.Producer#1 in somewhat disbelief and replied, "U say leh?" His prompt reply was closely followed by the shifting of his attention towards his computer screen which not long later, pops out a website displaying the latest Manchester United football team news.

Mr.Producer#1, the more PRACTICAL of the two, was deep in thought for a few seconds before he finally voiced out, "Barca and Lyon I think we show la, since it's arguably the best match of the day, and afterall, we don't show much European football besides the usual EPL on our channels anyway."

Mr.Producer#2, with a growing annoyed smirk displaying on his face, nodded slowly.

"Arsenal-Sevilla should be a very good match...," whispers Mr.Producer#1 in a voice barely audible.

Mr.Producer#2, now visibly irritated, pretended he didn't hear Mr.Producer#1 and then said ,"wah, Rooney may be coming back oh"

Mr.Producer#1 is now in a slight dilemma. Should he jump on the bandwagon and be a streotypical MU fan? Biased in every aspect and thinking they're superior without any valid reasonings?

At that very moment, Big Boss walks in the room, his motions indicated he was frantically searching for something which was clearly lost.

"Eh big boss, you come here right time la. This week hor.. got Arsenal-Sevilla playing... good match."

Big Boss continued his search and irritatedly replied ,"oh, izzit? good la show that then."

"But Man Utd also playing wor...." the indecisive Mr.Producer#1 said.

"Is it? Then you say leh? Need to think meh? of course show them la!" said the Big Boss, sounding more irritated this time. "Ah! there it is."

Mr. Producer#1 incidentally caught Mr.Producer#2's evil-looking smirk before noting down the decision given by the Big Boss himself. And at that very moment, the Big Boss stuffed what appeared to be previously lost into his pocket, leaving no trail whatsoever on the Manchester United keychain he bought during his last trip to Manchester, England.
