I blogged last year (HERE) about why I do not believe that my beloved team Liverpool will win the League title this year...and unfortunately I was proven right. I will be lying if I said that I didn't want them to win. They have been playing really fantastically recently but alas its too little too late.
I have to hand it to Manchester United. They were good week in week out (something Rafa can learn from here) and the only one capable of actually destroying their title hopes are...well...Man Utd themselves. As long as they soaked up the pressure and kept to their winning ways, no other team had a chance. But if they slip up, their rivals are ready to make them pay without any second invitation needed.
It is this way that Liverpool can still technically win the title this season despite Gary Neville having lifted the trophy last week. Think about it... Man Utd still have 1 more game. So they need to do something catastrophically stupid ...like try to rasuah the referee or the other team. Then not only will they lose the title but they may be playing in the Championship next season. Wahahaha!
Ok there are more chances of it snowing in KL than this happening. If there are any Liverpool supporting bomohs out there...you can give it a try and put a hex on them or something.

Breathe Right: Do they work?
GSK has been very aggressive in marketing the Breathe Right Nasal strips and the sales volume speaks for itself. Its in the papers, on the radio and everywhere you are sure bound to hear about it.
Does it really work? - that's what everyone always ask. Well first of all, it is printed on the box...
Breathe Right Nasal Strips open your nose to
-Reduce snoring
-Relieve nasal congestion
-Breathe better
Despite this, I guarantee you 9 out of 10 customers will come and buy this product to stop snoring. Why? because...that's how it was advertised. The radio ads featured 'Ways to stop your partner from snoring' and this is very effective. The message that consumers hear is 'buy this product to stop snoring'.
I can also tell you that 100% of return customers tell me that this product does not work for snoring (my wife can testify to that too). In fact, this is not a new product. It has been in the market for quite a long time. I remember seeing athletes wearing it a long time ago as you can see from the young Robbie Fowler in the picture below (which was taken in 1998).
That picture was taken from this news report (HERE) which also claims that the strips were ineffective when used by athletes. Having tried out this product myself, I can say that it does open up my nostrils. However, having big nostrils doesn't mean you won't snore right? If its true then all gweilos won't snore...
So the answer is no, it does not work.
