Life’s too short to stay sober

I got back from the noisy noisy happening Liz and the replay of the game is on Football Channel since there is no late game tonight.

A joy to watch all the goals once more, minus the one from an ex-sp*rs man. Oh how he celebrated. And how he was still on the losing side of 4 goals.

This game is probably the easiest one on paper when you look at all our opening fixtures. Man Utd and City away are to come, after Celtic midweek.

The boss took the opportunity to rest his key players with Gibbs and Eboue coming in for Gael and Sagna. Song was rested too with Denilson playing in his defensive role. Diaby started his first game of the season and did really well.

If you cross-referred to last season, Diaby was fantastic when it started too. He was scoring goals and exhibiting his technical quality on the pitch until the point where he gets injured for long periods of time. I hope nothing happens after this game. No one wants a repeat of last season where he featured sporadically and was largely disappointing whenever he came back from injury.

This game was probably to show the fans that we do have the depth to rest our first teamers.

But we will still be screaming for reinforcements anyway.

The Lescott deal should be materialising soon with Senderos joining Everton and we'll be extra light at centre back. I think that should be a priority signing at the moment.

Anyhow, what a game, and another emphatic scoreline. That's 10 goals in 2 league games and only 1 has came from a striker, Eduardo's goal against everton, which resulted from Arshavin's shot which bounced off the post.

Most of the goals have came from Gallas and the middle of the park. Gallas is now top scorer. He holds the number 10 shirt mind you. Denilson has 1, Cesc 2, Diaby 2, Ramsey 1 and that's a great return. It's almost like playing total football where anyone can score and it's a team effort.

This removes much reliance on the strikers when the whole team scores goals.

This is what Van Persie means by the team playing for each other.

I had an interesting conversation with my friend about Puasa. Robin is a muslim. Isn't he fasting? hahaha. Prolly why David James managed to save his thunderbolt while subsequent shots went into the wall.

I laugh many many.

Till Celtic.
