Here we go ... again
It is the kick off of the English Premier League season.
Had to find an irish pub to catch the opening match, Everton vs. Manchester United
Spoke to katherine from the hotel this morning and she mention that there was a pub near this particular station right in the middle of munich
Thus began my journey to catch my fav team in action
I drove to puchiem to catch a train to munich ... and managed to snapped a few shots
I hopped on that train ... got off the station ... and walked around to find the pub
Asked a shop attendant at the station where is the nearest irish pub
And his reply was that he was not aware of any pub around this station, but mentioned that there is one near the station before
Walked a while and then stopped by starbuck and asked for further direction
She asked, "which one?"
I said (thinking to myself, there are more than one?), "which ever is the nearest"
"They both are about the same, one to the left and one to the right" (so katherine was not wrong after all)
She then gave me direction this particular pub called Shamrock
"Aha ... that rang a bell, as one of the German colleague mentioned it few days earlier"
So i got excited and hurried to the place ...
When i finally there ... it was closed, you call yourself and irish bar?!
Anyway, i hurried back to starbucks and asked for the direction for the other one
And finally made it to murphy's, over 20 mins into the game and still 0-0!
It was a nice game at the end
Great game for the younger neville
It was surreal seeing him in blue playing against us
And his signature a long throws ... and those hard tackle ... gotta miss him
It was a great gesture to the players greet one another after the match
Great outing by both EPL debuttants, park and van de sar!!!
Great runs and threat down from each flak and through the middle by park
And great goal keeping by VDS who kept us in the game, have we finally the one?
Hope this will be a great start to the new season.
And giggs and ronaldo still yet to come on and not forgetting solskjaer!!
The trip however did cost me 10 euros (inclusive 0.40 euro tips), so had to be worth it :)
By the way, in case that you are wondering, the germans loves their football, so there are bundesliga matches live on free tv, but EPL's only available on ppv
