It's dudu! I wanted to but Arshavin in too but that'll be a little too much. Eduardo can hold his own. :D
Anyway that's not what I'm here for.
ASTON VILLA 3 EVERTON 3
HAHAHAHA.
What a laugh. This weekend of football has left me in stitches. First Silvestre scores and puts us ahead. Then Jason Koumas lays a perfectly weighted pass for Arshavin to ram home. And father of 2, Alex Song scores. I hope this father of 2 thing won't get old. It funny.
And I read about Villa and Everton who talk up their ability to snatch 4th spot from Arsenal. Considering the way Everton played last week with that 4-0 trashing of Wigan, you'd expect them to have the momentum to take 3 points off Villa and be 7 points behind Arsenal in 5th spot. The did start better, with 2 early goals and 2-goal leads twice in the match which they conveniently threw away. I said Villa is losing much steam and good performances not followed by results can be a problem and it showed early on. They however, found that extra drive to peg Everton back almost immediately and Howard Webb on their side.
The Howard Webb who yellow carded Messi for a dive in a blatent penalty claim and sent Pep Guardiola to the stands. I don't suppose awarding Villa a crucial penalty which would put them on level terms any kind of redemption considering that it wasn't a penalty at all?
And he is England's best, globetrotting and receiving hate mail by the tons.
So I wanted Villa and Everton to draw and I got the result I wanted. They both lose 2 points, and are 8 and 9 points behind Arsenal respectively. That is a good buffer to take into the games with Liverpool, Chelsea and United in the league. Sometimes in football it can be worrying when one team is playing to keep 4th and another is playing for the title. In all logic, the one going for the title is going to have something extra to take the game. It is just the mentality of the situation presented. In any case, thank you Howard Webb for the penalty hahahaha. I think Martin O'Neill will be thanking him too while Moyes, Ferguson's preferred successor, should be red-faced in anger. He was screaming really hard on the sidelines. Expect a fine. Who can blame him anyway.
Since I've been magical as of late in my wishing which led to all the immense gloating and I'm not jinxing the team, I should just lay out my declarations and may it all come to past:
ARSENAL TO WIN THE CHAMPION'S LEAGUE THANK YOU
..AND THE FA CUP TOO
and completely believe in it so that the laws of attraction shall take effect.
ARSENAL CHAMPION'S OF EUROPE~~~~
