Shit happens

18Dec07

The second unexpected thing to happen last Sunday… is really not that unexpected lah. And as I look into my crystal ball, I can predict that most of you will go “Cheyyy!!” after you get to know what actually happened.

So you wanna know?

Really?

Okay lor…

See! I told you your reactions will be so! And come to think of it, it’s not really an unexpected thing to happen right? Hehehe Okay lah non-soccer fans, you can close my blog’s window already.

I didn’t watch the match though. No SCV, no cry. I watched Asian Idol instead which paled in comparison in terms of entertainment value. But I was constantly checking the score online till the last minute.

What I heard was Liverpool got numerous free-kicks, controlled virtually the entire game but didn’t muster any real chance. Can I side track a bit? I hate Gerrard for his burst>pretend to get tackled>get free kick/penalty>score>celebrate like as if he didn’t do everything intentionally.

If you Scousers hate our Ronaldo, then we Devils hate your Gerrard. You call that a captain leading by example? Pfft.

Till now, I didn’t have the chance to watch the highlights for this match. But I heard (again) that the central pairing of Hargreaves and Anderson, and Ferdinand and Vidic was solid in stifling Liverpool.

That’s why Benitez put in Babel to attack Man U from the wings! Aha! The art of Tinker-ing baby!

On the (stark) contrary, Chelsea’s midfield pairing of Mikel and Makelele was like water like that. I watched the highlights of this match though. If Van Persie had had a little but more match-fitness and Fabregas, composure, Chelsea could have been slaughtered.

Chelsea really isn’t grateful for Cech. No doubt he made a mistake but he redeemed himself quickly. But Chelsea just couldn’t bother to score with Shevchenko and Shaun Wright-Phillips as the main culprits.

The match aside, I’m impressed with the Gunners. Already I like the fact that they’re young and hungry, technically sound and disciplined too – just like how I want my dream FM team to be. Now I can see that Arsene Wenger has groomed them into a bunch of no-fear soldiers too.

Gallas was a man with a mission. If previously he was just a utility player in Chelsea, now he leads Arsenal into the field. This is another example of yet another masterstroke by Monsieur Wenger to exchange Ashley Cole for Gallas.

Plus he gets $5 million from that deal. And who did he buy? Bacary Sagna. Now that guy is romping up and down Arsenal’s right flank like a mad man.

But wait, apparently there is an unwritten clause in that deal – “Ashley Cole should be fucked up whenever he returns to the Emirates Stadium.”

And true enough, he was booed everytime he touched the ball.

“But I didn’t go to Chelsea because of money!” squealed Cole.

“Oh yeah?” says Fabregas.

Ooohh!! I love that tackle. It was perfect. No doubt it was of little good intention, perhaps near-malicious but it is filled with anger, revenge and gusto – a perfect gift for a traitor.

I know the picture looks wrong. Haha! Trust me, it is better in motion.

Oh my, this is such a long entry. It doesn’t happen always in fitree.wordpress.com! Just like the chances of the ‘Big Four’ clubs in BPL going against one another, back-to-back, in one day.

Anyone read till this line?

Okay then you’ll be rewarded with this piece of information:

Do you know why Wes Brown refused to sign a new contract? Or any idea which club he wants to go?

I shall let the picture say the thousand words. I think he wants to enter by the back door lah!

Maybe Ferguson should put in that unwritten clause too.
