Pictures taken at the my flat's lift lobby . I'm sure somebody already thought of that... See these two snapshots took at my flat's lift lobby? Well, the main thing is not the lift but the two notice boards placed on the pillars of the lobby. One of which is maintained by the town council and the other is under the care of the Residents' Committee (RC). As mentioned before, clubs should align themselves with the RCs and other community-based organization .

In the modern game, player power is raging, with players dictating almost every aspect of the game. Players with more fame are more marketable and, of course, bring in a lot of cash that will enrich the club. Thus, it is no surprise that clubs and corporate sponsors a...

Hope it's not too late but I would like to say a "Happy Birthday" to Albirex's coach Hiroaki Hiraoka. What a way to mark the celebration with an upset victory over the defending champions SAFFC at their own backyard, Jurong East Stadium. Post match celebration was marked by the serving of cream to the birthday boy (as pictured above). Once again, Happy Birthday coach..
