Park and Scholes on. Scholes to Anderson who comes up with a defence-splitting pass as he falls. Rooney gets on the end of it and neatly slots it past the keeper.

What a strange half. United start off brilliantly, score a contender for Goal of the Season, play champagne football against overawed opponents … and finish the first half 1-2 down.

I spent 10 minutes today trying to sign up for the Playstation Network. I decided to use the PSP for this. I still haven’t gotten over how cool the PSP’s online capabilities are. Hell, I’m typing this on the handheld device right now. So, anyway, it takes me 10 minutes to hunt and peck all the data Sony requires. I’m using the full-screen virtual keyboard but it’s still a slow process. I eventually complete it, feel chuffed about it, head to the PSN Store and am told it’s unavailable in Malaysia.

Suck.

It’s 3 a.m. and I’m awake so there must be a Champions League match, United must be playing and there must be a live telecast. Which I must watch.

It’s the rules.

I’m posting this from my PSP and I’m way too impressed by this. Sure, typing on the PSP’s virtual keyboard sucks things that oughtn’t be sucked, but my god, I’m posting this on the PSP. These are strangely wondrous times we live in, my friend.
