Peow's Passions - 2nd anniversary

It just dawned on me after the most recent post that the blog is 2 years old! To celebrate, I thought I'd run a lucky draw to give away one of my copies of Invincible Iron Man (free edition) signed by both writer Matt Fraction and artist Salvador Larocca from STGCC 2010.



All you have to do is leave a comment here with your candid feedback about how you feel about the posts in Peow's Passions, be they bouquets, brickbats or suggestions on what you'd like to see here by 18 Aug 2011; 1800hrs SGT. Your name will go into the hat and one winner will be picked randomly. You should identify yourself with an email address at least in order for me to contact you. Good luck! :)

P.S. Glory Glory Man Utd... who came from two goals down to beat the noisy neighbours 3-2 to win the Community Shield for a record 15th time! That's why we're champions! Here's to another trophy-filled season.

Manchester United 2010/11 Home jersey

No matter the outcome of tonight's match against Blackpool, Manchester United would be crowned champions of the British Premier League for a record 19th time. That takes the Red Devils to the top of the perch, eclipsing Liverpool's long-standing record of 18 titles. When I became a fan back in 1985, I did not expect to see this day so soon as the Red Devils only had seven titles. Since then, they've gone on to win 12 of the last 19 titles. To commemorate this momentous occasion, I spent a little cash customizing this Nike home jersey from the 2010/11 season. Glory Glory Man United! :)
