Carling Cup tonight, which will be interesting. Man City will be looking to bounce back from their record 7 draws in a row. We really got rid of that hex by selling them Toure and Adebayor.
Now, we're simply losing. If you look at it though, we've lost 6 points over 2 games and if we start winning again, it's fine.
On the other hand, to throw away 14 points over 7 games is just retarded.
Both teams need to get wins to at least gain some momentum for the league games to come and I foresee the winner taking it all.
Lazy Adebayor will once again be fired up to play against his former club, the only games of the season he decides to not be lazy because there is a huge need to bite the hand that fed you, or made you who you are today, minus the lazy part. He has the potential to cause problems (when un-lazy) so whoever's playing at centreback should be watching him closely. The laziness in him will wait for a free header so the only way to frustrate him is to mark him for 90 minutes + extra time and I believe the likes of Senderos, who should be putting in a shift tonight, is capable.
Youngsters like Ramsey, Wilshere, Vela and co. will play. Nasri has just spoken about his happiness at the club after making his 50th club appearance last weekend. He hopes to hit 300 or 400 because he simply loves it here. I mean, when all the shorties are out on the pitch, the team is incredibly hot. The girls would love to believe that Arsene Wenger hires on looks.
Imagine a team with Nasri, Vela, Walcott, Fabregas, Ramsey, Wilshere (DIMPLES). Oh, I forgot Arshavin. The shorties have looks. Ramsey drives me crazy with his lack of screentime.
I didn't include giant Bendtner who constantly hurts his groin.
So, I got the email from Arsenal Singapore, which contained the response from Starhub regarding Carling Cup match coverage. Riggghhhht. I saw the part where negotiations reached a standstill and I just rolled my eyes. Trust Starhub to hit a glitch in "negotiations". Have they looked at Singtel's football coverage prices? That's a big boy who knows how to play the game. There is no need for basic groups and all you need to pay is a freakin $25/month to watch every fucking thing, including tennis and F1. This season sucks because I don't have UEFA Champion's League coverage. When FA Cup season kicks off we'll know if we have that too. Consumers are always the last to be informed but the first to be charged.
Singtel's doing an awfully good job at winning us over. Low prices are key. It's the part where they win our trust that scares me. That's when we get screwed.
No game to watch tonight. I don't think anyone's surprised.
Come end May 2010, I'm throwing my set top box back at Starhub. Suck that. I can't believe I got a Starhub mobile phone plan just to get the hub club discount. So going to dump that when it's over too. If Singtel could charge us so much less, why was there a need to constantly increase the subscription prices over the years when Starhub had the rights?
Switching to Singtel is like getting a 50% discount. In Singapore terms, that's absolutely fucking worth the trouble to switch. And I doubt we'll get shit like "negotiations hit a standstill" or the fucking broadcaster selecting which matches not to broadcast just so that the football fans get the notice like the fucking day before the game. Oh yes. Sunderland away of last season.
Football fans don't forget.
