Life’s too short to stay sober

What a match. We all have vested interested in the U21 Sweden vs England game and they did well.

I shall start with the grand cliche we all know too damn well - it was a game of two halves

This point can easily make me throw a fit when I recall last season so it is advisable to never touch a copy of the 2008/09 season review.

England were easily 3-0 up at half time thanks to set pieces. If height were a determining factor to how much of a threat a team would be from dead ball play, it wouldn't apply to Sweden. The Swedes are tall. Nicky is tall. Ibrahimovic is tall. I suppose I can safely assume that Scandinavian dudes are tall. And yet it was England who profited from all 3 corners which resulted in goals.

Come the second half and no one in hell would have thought that the Swedes would fight back. Not until the 70th minute at least. I left the match on while I was doing my own things like watching some other show on my computer since at 3-0 and the way the Swedes started the half, it looked like England were through.

It was kinda like a wolf in sheep's clothing. They led the Englishmen on the pitch to believe that the game was all but over. Then suddenly they pulled a goal back. And another one.

I stopped watching my show. This is the kind of fightback which just gives you the feeling that it'll go all the way, and boy did it.

In no time at all, it was 3-3, and that freekick leading to the third goal was sublime. Kinda like the Dani Alves winner for Brazil to send them to meet the USA in the finals of the Confederations Cup, minus the retarded goal celebration and the pointing of his fancy "Daniel" tattoo. Who tattoo's their name in cursive across their chest?

Anyway. The game then went into extra time and it was no longer any game of two halves since it became 4. Of course, Fraizer Campbell was on song to make his application good enough for Hull City by getting sent off for a bad lunge. All too familiar. He's going to fit into Phil Brown's setup perfectly, especially since he has Manchester United and Tottenham education already on his CV.

And then now with Agbonlahor suspended for the final too, Theo will most certainly be the man leading the front.

Frankly, I do understand why he has come under fire recently. He belongs to a good football team and has most things going smoothly for him. He's got the adoration of the fans and all so people just want to try and stick things up him when they find the chance. Everyone forgets that he is still a youngling who needs time to grow and he's been through quite a bit since his first shoulder injury, which I believe, is affecting his game a little bit.

you would recall a time where Arsene Wenger declared that Walcott has the potential to be better than Leo Messi when he reaches that age. One thing he is lacking now is the ability to successfully get past his man. Many a times he bombed forward just to be dispossessed and the attack breaks down. He's been plying his trade mostly on the right wing so when he moves to the middle he tends to be quite anonymous. That would be the other thing he needs working on, which is his off-the-ball movement. I believe that when he gets the hang of those 2 he can truly be better than Messi.

And all others, including the cuntbag brother laughed when Wenger said what he said.

Wait and see is what I tell you.

And for more wise words from Wenger, ESPN's football up close is doing an interview with Le Prof, to be aired at 7pm this coming Monday. I have no freakin idea how to tape it since I don't have a dvd recorder so I'll pray some wise Gooner will do it and upload it to youtube or something. Interviews like these ain't like those Spanish shit where the English media conveniently lift off whatever they think is useful in order to do what they do best, to give a warped version of the truth.

So anyway, it went down to penalties and James Milner did a David Beckham slip. The cursed number 7 shirt for you. Let's hope Walcott doesn't take that shirt for the World Cup. He did however dispatch his penalty with ease. It was unlike the Roma one where he placed the ball and turned for his run up and then just went for it without looking at the keeper. This time he placed the ball coolly on the spot and then ran up to take his shot while the keeper was being a clown, with flailing arms trying to put him off.

It's the small things like that which shows you that he's becoming a man.

Then we have Gibbsy who did his bit as well. I guess it's safe to say that any Arsenal player is technically gifted and I'll add that to my list of why I love the Arsenal.

Twitter was a blast. It totally came to life with honest to God updates. Love it.

the_cannon sums it up beautifully:

Theo and Gibbs score - we've done our bit

I lol-ed at that one. And at this one too.

This is just why we need Sp*rs around. They're really a bunch of numbshite clowns who never fail to amuse. Now they're signing a petition to remove the mustard off their jerseys. When we wore the Herbert Chapman white jerseys in his honour they were going on about how wearing white is such a purity Sp*rs issue. Now they get yellow, which they refuse to call yellow but mustard. They can't tell colours apart can they? I can't say no one eat hotdogs in England since I should think it's the kind of food people eat at football games. Anyway, now we can laugh at them. Like hell Puma's going to change the kit because of some stupid petitions. If anyone knew better, petitions just do not work. They could get Arsenal fans to sign on it and it still wouldn't.

Another weird bloke is trying for reforms, but without a petition. Maybe he's one level smarter than the spuds. Phil Brown wants a 30 min timeout before post match interviews because he can't get his emotions in check like SAF and Arsene Wenger because he's inexperienced as a Premier League manager, not because he's a cunt. This has got to be the joke of the century. With the current technology, everything is reported in real time. Who wants to wait half an hour for post match reaction? It is not a fucking interview where we sit down with coffee and ask a whole host of questions listed on a piece of paper. It is meant to be spontaneous to capture the heat of the moment and why we bother watching sports at all. In Premier League terms where another fixture is to follow after the first game then who the hell is going to wait that half an hour to hear what the orange cuntbag has to say? Might as well just scrap it completely. The world would be a better place without having to listen to Phil Brown.

I shall end with the greatest bit of irony: the ref PB abused is taking over as the chief ref.
