Life’s too short to stay sober

I don't think I have ever anticipated a football game this much in my life.

I went to bed last night after catching up with several blogs and the last picture I looked at before I shut my eyes, was this:

And I woke up, from a dream, a really fuzzy one, but I remembered the details - Eboue scored a double and we beat Barca at the Nou Camp 2-1.

LOL.

It's quite hilarious how my subconscious mind retained Mr Eboue and then projected it on what I desire - a win.

Be wary of what you imprint on your brain before you sleep - it might appear in your dreams. (hahaha)

Okay so team news i.e. injury news ahead of the Barca game aren't favourable at all. Song has gone down. I'm not sure if the boss already decided that he would be the one playing in central defence with Vermaelen, but at least for now, it's pretty up in the air. All that remains is Silvestre or big Sol to fill in. Personally, I think Sol will start. I think he's got it in him to do it, and he cuts a more assured figure than the other option. The brother keeps telling me that Silvestre is more of a left back than a centre back but he prefers to play CB. Whutttt. Still, not really a great judge of things considering that in the last game, he did play at LB but Wolves didn't have anything in their locker to test him at all. Anyway, the point is, we have all sorts of trouble in the centre of our defence.

In midfield it's almost certain that it'll be Diaby and Denilson mopping up the back while Nasri drives the team forward. He only signed for us last season so this is his second season and he's been thrust into action as a replacement for our capitan, Cesc Fabregas. Large shoes to fill no doubt, but he has done well in recent games and has it in him to do a decent job. I think Walcott should start as well, and give Barca a little bit more to worry about. Bendtner's name will definitely be on the team sheet, so what remains is the left side of our attack.

Rosicky, a good candidate for that spot, is 50:50. I don't think that is unexpected at all, considering he played 90 minutes at the weekend. Since returning from injury, Wenger has given him time to slot back in, limiting intitial appearances to half an hour per game or less, used ultra sparingly. It has worked out so far, because he's been fit for the longest time possible. It's just ironic that when he was called upon to play the whole game he comes out 50% crocked. Oh moi Rosicky, I hope you make it. Regardless, I hope the boss doesn't play Eboue on the left of midfield again. A predominant right footed player will suffer greatly on the left. Walcott on the other hand, could do a decent job there (he scored against Barca with his left foot). He'll always be a danger when he cuts in a shoots, and if he cuts in from the left, he'll get to shoot with his stronger right foot, assuming we aren't depending on him for crosses. His final ball is wuzz anyway, so just shoot.

Then we have Almunia. I really don't know what to expect.

All I know is that the entire team will have to snuff out all their individual errors and create something special.

I hope the game lives up to it's billing. The worst thing that could happen is the game being over (i.e. like barca 3-0 up in 6 mins) before we have a chance to fight.

9 hours to kick off.

Watching the Arsenal is not good for your heart, not good at all.

In fact, it might shorten your lifespan.

Bendtner at the death, going into the 5th minute of stoppage time, gives us the 1-0 win over Wolves.

Arsenal started the game pretty well, but without Bendtner up front and Diaby in midfield, we lacked a bit of physicality. Theo made it up with raw pace but his final balls were absurd at times and he lacks the technique to really get past his man. He did well against Barcelona as an impact sub, but as a starter, he's just not there yet.

Eduardo missed a glorious chance early on, with the goal at his mercy and no one closing him down but it's evident that taking shots on his right side just doesn't work. I've always thought dudu better as a support striker in a 4-4-2 rather than the front man of a 4-5-1. Make no mistake, we're so not playing a 4-3-3. It's a 4-5-1 made to sound nice.

Going into the break at 0-0, Wolves probably felt how we felt going in after Barca. So technically, we felt how Barca felt, except that coming out of the half, we didn't score in 27 seconds. Waited till injury time to do it.

Eboue just isn't a player that will be effective on the left side because he's quite plainly, a right-sided player. He still gave it everything though. Wenger waited till Karl Henry got the boot for a late tackle on Rosicky to ring the changes, which I thought should have came earlier. Henry's sending off was harsh, and you'd get the feeling that it was related to Ramsey's injury. On the other hand, that ass fucker went in behind Theo, didn't get the ball, and left his foot deliberately in Theo's calf. Should have seen a yellow for that, and still the red for the one on Rosicky. No sympathies there. He's a cunt and I enjoyed waving him GOODBYE.

Rosicky surprisingly, could continue. He was filling the large shoes of Fabregas, driving us forward, but it just wasn't working. Hahnemann in goal was denying us left right and centre and the score remained goalless. Silvestre switched positions with Vermaelen, with Wenger probably wanting him forward a little more.

Being a man up against a bottom side sometimes isn't all that rosy. From then on, you simply are condemning them to set their stalls out to defend. The way Arsenal unlock defences is with space and decisive play, which also didn't happen till that last last minute.

We're now missing Arshavin and Cesc who were key players so far and it's going to take a lot to cope without them. Barcelona looms and it would take a lot to not make a mess of it. Barca will be missing their first choice centrebacks but up front, they have the power to outscore anyone.

Anyway, Vela finally gets a game, but showed why he isn't getting any more than that because he's just not there yet. When Wilshere comes back from his loan spell he'll take his place in front of Vela in the pecking order I reckon.

Okay, watching the Burnley-City game while posting this and guess who just scored. He always has stupid goal celebrations doesn't he. The douche who said he didn't make the switch to Eastlands for the money. He's kinda the highest paid player in the BPL now, enough to buy his 72 virgins.

And it's 3-0 now in 6 minutes. -_-

I blame Owen Coyle.

Alrighty, I was being Arshavin-kinda-pessimistic and posted on twitter about how I'm not going to watch any more games this season if they lost/drew. Lol. I guess Mr Bendtner popped up and changed that. I'm pretty darn frustrated with all the shit already and I'm about to have my exams and this Arsenal is adding on the stress. My papers start the day after Arsenal entertain Fulham at home in the last game of the season.

To round off a sweet sweet night, Sp*rs fell to former man Bent and lost 3-1. Hur. When is St. Totteringham's day this year? Might go calculate right this moment.

ETA: YES. If we beat Sp*rs in the next game, we celebrate St. Totteringham's day.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 12:03 AM

When Ibrahimovic scored that lob over Almunia 27 seconds into the second half, I thought it was over.

Note: Almunia beaten at his near post again

When the same Swede scored another from the same side to make it 2-0, I thought it was over.

Again.

And the final score? Arsenal 2 Barcelona 2

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

Happy April Fools.

The clown in goal, decided that he's the keeper for the big games. He kept us completely in the game in the first half, having to pull off 6 fantastic saves from Barca in the first 30 minutes. And then conceded a stupid one when the half time break was over. From zero-to-hero, and then hero-to-zero, and again, zero-to-hero. I'm speechless on this.

Wenger took 2 gambles before the game. He played Gallas instead of Sol Campbell and started Fabregas. Both backfired, and you can understand why he doesn't like to rush players back too quickly or play them when they're not fully fit. And then we had Arshavin who definitely suffered something serious because that guy has been playing through minor injuries for us. For him to come off that early into the game and go straight down the tunnel after the substitution says it all. That is 3 players lost in one game, one unplanned and unanticipated.

Like everything about Arsenal, everyone would simply write us off as undeserved, no matter what we do. So whatever. 2-2 it is, and it's down to the Barca defence who couldn't deal with Walcott's pace. I would start him in the second leg, and that's a very high possibility, considering Arshavin should miss out.

Denilson came on for the injured Gallas and Song moved to centreback. Song could have done more about the two goals but otherwise, did well. Denilson did an Almunia and put in a very good performance. Excellent in fact.

The ref, on the other hand, was poor. Very very very very poor. That douche. You know, when the touchline ref held up the number '8' instead of '3' for the substitution, you damn well know that he suffers from ASTIGMATISM. Not sure if good eyesight is a requirement by FIFA for referees but they seem to only concentrate on the physical aspect. What's the point of running up and down when you can't fucking see? Needless yellows were flying here and there, and the time Pique brought down Cesc illegally, he waved play on. Then he sent off Puyol. Ha? srsly? One red and one yellow for the 5 of Arsenal. The worst one was the one shown to Fabregas but I'd expect him to miss the return leg through injury anyway. If we do get a result there, then at least we'll have him for the semis. Thanks to the ref, both Puyol and Pique will miss the next match. If the Barca defence can't cope with Walcott's pace then they're pretty screwed.

Our tackles were flying in, totally legit, and the ref managed to penalise us for it. Does he not watch English football? Such a wank of a ref, who decided it was necessary to 'protect' the Barca players. When will any ref decide that they have to protect us too? No one in Barca has had their leg broken by opposition. FIFA is a fucking shyte organisation that cannot function, so is UEFA. For two games now, since the knockout stages, the ref has threatened to ruin the game. From Barca's point of view, the red card was retarded. If yellow cards flew at this speed in the BPL though, shawcross wouldn't have been able to break Ramsey's leg. All these lame ref associations should decide what they fucking want or what they fucking think is best and have some continuity in their decisions. Don't come fuck around with a crazy cards party. Playing football by the rules is what most people (I exclude Shawcross) want to do, but it is baffling when the rules are according to the ref's personality. Maybe this Swiss bloke thinks it necessary to book a player who got the ball in a challenge that is purely legit in the English game, but completely out of it in Europe. Get it together. I'm sure no one can work like robots but at least be close to a certain standard. These refs owe the game at least that.

Now now, while the whole wide world is lamenting Arsenal's draw, they should take a step back to consider the following:

1) Both of Barca's goals, come from LONG BALLS and not intricate passing from their supposed BRAND OF FOOTBALL. When they tried to pass into the net, they were stopped by the clown in goal who wasn't a clown until the long balls came.

2) We had only 2 shots on target. (excluding the penalty; Theo's goal + Bendtner's saved header) How many fuckers out there have said over and over and over that goals count more than the attempts and the possession? Now that Arsenal have 2 shots on target and 2 goals, all of you shits can shut the fuck up on this one. Barca didn't make all their possession count, when we had the ball we made the difference and we're level. Where's the fuss?

3) The best team in the world, made Manuel Almunia look like a top top top top class keeper. Nuff said.

4) Valdes had only 3 saves to make - from Theo, Bendtner, and the penalty. Only pulled off ONE.

5) we lost 2 players duing the game (excluding Cesc who was hell bent on continueing in spite of), had to make 2 unplanned subs, leaving Wenger with just 1 to make a difference. Had he had 2 more with 2 of our first choice players on the pitch, we could have turned the game on it's head even more, as much as the Arsenal haters and Barca fans would disagree. Now now, look who pulled 2 goals back?

6) A draw, felt like a win. It really does, considering the whole host of chances that Messi couldn't put past our top top top top keeper Almunia. Their attack on our weakest link was really toothless to say the least. You can't even put the ball past Almunia? There's something really really really really wrong with you. You might want to sign Kevin Phillips.

The world would see this game as a triumph for Barcelona over Arsenal, both who pride themselves on their desire to play football the way it should be played. Barca simply showed the world how to be wasteful and paid for it. Had they been clinical at the same time, it would have been a different story. Still in disbelief they let Almunia foil that. How was that possible?! 2-0 up and you still could be pegged back to 2-2. 2-0 and you thought you won the game. Well I thought it too, but who knew? The mental strength this Arsenal team possesses is epic I tell you. Any team 2-0 down to Barca really need a whole lot of balls to pick themselves up from it and come back from it. Theo came on with all the balls in the whole wide world and didn't get starstruck. Fabio would be pleased as hell with his impact. This is an Arsenal team with balls. Balls they never had before. If the douches of the world tell you that Barcelona showed Arsenal how football is played, then Arsenal showed them what sheer mental strength and determination is. Only Manchester United have came to the Emirates in Europe and came away with a win, in the last 28 games.

Statistics, don't lie.

It's not over yet. We have 5 players on yellows so that'll be a big problem if we do go through but it's a worry I really want to have.

A not so glamourous Wolves tie is coming up. The games are coming thick and fast in April. We need the 3 points to stay in the title race while Chelsea and United fuck each other.

I have a fucking epic headache from staying up for the game and the intensity of the match fucked my brain so bad.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 1:15 PM

In the blink of an eye, CNY is half over already. I think most of us had a very busy weekend considering that it was sorta the only weekend in the 15 days. Let's not count the last 2 days. I don't think any kiasu Chinese will wait till the last 2 days to go visiting.

Anyway, there's no midweek game so it's all quiet. The media can repost interviews post Sunderland and it's still boring. Cesc to Barcelona circus has taken a short short break, well at least until the next time Arsenal screws up.

Chelsea play Inter Milan for their round of 16 game and we did ours last week. Which means the team has an entire team to prepare for Stoke, a place the Gunner dread visiting and they should well learn from the FA Cup exit we suffered there. There can be no excuse for tired legs (lol Ferguson) and the lads should put Stoke in their places. Failure to do so would most definitely mean that we're out of the title race. Every game from here on end is decisive and dropping points is not an option. United may have faltered but Chelsea are still going strong even without playing well at all.

There's been much talk surrounding Walcott and a World Cup call-up but the lad knows that he needs to do well at the club level first. He also knows that he needs to improve on his final ball. I'd start him against Stoke and give them something to worry about while we worry about Delap. Although in the return fixture at the Emirates Vermaelen did very well in that game. He took it upon himself to clear the long throws and they didn't cause us any troubles.

Nicky B has received backing from the boss, like he really needs any. I hope he'll become more and more like a striker i.e. shoot when in good position. Don't need to take an extra touch, don't pass it out wide again when you have it in the centre too. And don't assume that the defender in front of you is definitely going to head the ball clear. Just go for it. Bottomline, is, don't be lazy.

Injury news haven't been updated but I'm hoping Arshavin returns. Stick him on the left with Walcott on the right and you'll have craft, creativity and speed. Then of course there's Cesc in the centre. If Diaby doesn't come back I'm hoping Ramsey keeps his place. Diaby of course, is still the preferred choice. We need all the height we can get.

Anyway, I really love Eboue.

He has come a long long way since the fans booed him off in the Wigan game at the Emirates last season. Do you recall twatybayor using that incident to blame his bad performance on the fans? This is how you win the fans over, something that Adebayor failed to do. He chose to give up and continue to be lazy. It wasn't until he realised that he could actually in a coffin (from the Angola shootings) that he started to be more appreciative of playing football and giving his best. Well his best got him nothing against Liverpool last night but he was trying. Anyway, Eboue got his head down and worked hard to win the fans back and I'm sure I'm not the only one who lub him many many now. There was always the easy way but he chose the harder way and came out stronger. His dribbling is breath-taking. I can't recall him giving away possession while with the ball to his feet all game on the opponent's flank. Finally. There is competition for that right back slot. And good competition it is. Sagna could take the cue and improve his attacking side and it's a win-win for the whole team.

Just like how Denilson should take Ramsey's cue to simply be a better footballer.Wenger's faith in Diaby is almost completely repaid now, so is Song's.

I'm not too excited about the World Cup. I don't care about who's going and who's not. In the past, like 4 years ago, I would be so interested in Arsenal players playing in the tournament and watching it for them. Probably how I came to like France when Titi, Pires and Vieira were playing. I think France is nonsense now though. And I would love if our dudes took the summer off to recharge and prepare for the next season than taking part in some tournament which benefits the bookies more than anything else and risk injuring our players. The international managers don't seem to care much about the condition the players are returned to the clubs anyway. I don't think they actually care if the player has to play through pain and injections.

To end off, I have a friend who thinks John Terry is hot. Jaw-dropping. Ashley Cole already has his 5th mistress and counting. Tiger has 18. (Is there a need to count?) Anyway, their records make JT's look juvenile. Only 1 Vanessa Perroncel. Of course, he prolly has more from the past. Smart enough to pay them all off to keep it quiet. Or he must really be damn farkin hot to charm their pants off and seal their lips too, although sealed lips sure means less for him.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 9:19 PM

A game we needed to win, and we did. Arsenal beat Sunderland 2-0 at home.

And Denilson didn't start. He only came on in the 89th minute. Hah. That certainly was pleasing. Ramsey put in a decent performance.

1 game down, 11 to go in the league. As Arshavin says, we need to win all of them to stand a chance. Reasonably speaking, 9 wins and 2 draws should do the trick. Man Utd dropped all 3 points at Everton (Thanks!) and oh how I celebrated Jack Rodwell's goal.

Anyway, on the Arsenal game:

We dominated possession. Lost the ball and got it back pretty easily. Did well during the 50-50s and created a fury of chances up front. We should have scored a lot more goals with the scoreline getting comfortable earlier but it's Arsenal - we make things difficult for ourselves. The most negative of fans would have prepared for the worst, meaning Sunderland grabbing a dramatic equaliser at the death but it didn't happen because ex-sp*rs man killed off any chance of that with a foul on Fabregas which actually looked to be outside the box but the ref gave the penalty anyway. Not a match changing decision, but a welcomed out all the same. Now Arsene Wenger can't cry foul as much huh?

Song as usual did extremely well. He was there doing all the dirty work and he owned the opposition in one-on-one situations. The same cannot be said about Silvestre. I'm sure he should be looking at his performance today and how his positioning is atrocious. Not sure Sol Campbell would have done any better if he played but we do need Gallas fit asap.

Clichy was better, Vermaelen business as usual and Bendtner did pretty well, even if he screwed up a few clear cut chances. At least he didn't choose to pass the ball and tapped in the goal. Walcott showed how he offers a different sort of attacking play on the right but was poor when it came to the final ball. He needs more games to get back into it but he's definitely not a lost cause. I'd like him to start the next game as well. It's been a long long time since his pace has caused the opposition that much trouble and it's such a big welcome.

Undoubtedly, the show today belonged to Eboue. He got in there and despite playing at right back, shone more than Walcott when he went forward. He seemed to have the ball glued to his feet and it's as though his dribbling has improved immensely. Just a little drop of the shoulder and a twist of the hip and he's past his man. Created the first goal and did very well to get the the byline to pull back for someone to knock it in. If anyone need a lesson as to how an attacking full back goes forward, they can watch this performance. His quick feet left him on the receiving end of Lorik Cana's two-footed lunge and that fellow should have been sent off for that. Nani was. And Cesc was wrongly carded for a late block on Mensah and there was hardly any intent there, yet they both were cautioned in equal measure.

So, the story of the ManUre brother and my HTC Hero. I am unfortunately, a Starhub mobile user. And we got that big family dinner just now which meant that his only chance of watching the Everton v Man Utd game, was on my mobile.

Hahaha. Look at the outcome. He had a meeting with his friends after the dinner and kidnapped my phone and totally watched Everton put the last 2 goals past his team on my phone.

Awesome stuff. He has vowed never to watch a game on my phone again. And oh, I told him United will possibly drop points at Everton when I told him that Arsenal can still win the league and he totally dismissed it as impossible.

Never say never!!

A Little Drunken Madness @ 1:09 AM

AWESOME STUFF AT ANFIELD.

Captain Fabulous and the Verminator gave the post match interview and finally, Arsene Wenger threw the fit we all know he is capable of.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY because it worked.

The first half was piss-poor. As the boss put it, we weren't winning the 50-50s and the commitment level wasn't there for a big game like this. He quite rightly blasted the dudes and they woke up at half time.

I'm just wondering about the thickness of the walls of the Anfield dressing room. Did Glen Johnson get frightened into submission?

Heh.

That own goal came out of no where but it's down to the pressing and getting in behind the defence. Walcott put good pressure on the defence and I think he might prosper better as the lone front man instead of on the wings. The defenders would be more aware to his presence and that might result in openings for the rest of the attack.

Or an own goal by his fellow Englishman. It's kinda funny when you look at it from a different angle. Walcott plays on the English right wing while Johnson at right back. Aren't they supposed to link up well? They did good today. Fabio will only be proud of one though.

After that it was all Arsenal. Wenger got through to them and they pushed on with more purpose while Liverpool simply wore away. Must have been trying to show Xabi Alonso how much they missed him while he yawned away.

When Diaby came on I thought we might throw it away but it didn't happen. Somehow. Him being tall and being able to exert a physical presence isn't really significant to me because he is Diaby. Yup. And now, since returning from injury, he's going to slot right back into the midfield won't he? And our weak link is back. Boo.

Song and Vermaelen did fantastic today. I have no higher praise. Song was there to nullify any Liverpool attack and got stuck in really well. he didn't make lame challenges like Mascherano just for the sake of breaking our rhythm. He wanted the balls to jam start our attack and that's pure commitment. Mascherano had a good game though, right until he got a yellow card and then he gets a little more cautious. Of course, Denilson gave him a kick in the butt cheek. That must have been painful. Removing Mascherano helped us on quite a bit since there isn't that little prick to frustrate our attack.

Between Song and Mascherano, I'd take Song any day.

The Verminator took responsibility for every set piece, as at Stoke last weekend. He took it upon himself to clear the damn ball from danger and did really well. I couldn't count how many balls he got to and kept out. Another showing of pure commitment.

He must have realised that he can't trust the one behind him to come out to punch any shit without looking for protection from referees that aren't always given. Damn you Almunia.

Traore did really well today as well. He dealt well when up against Torres and held his ground. Starting to make that left back slot his own now when the front two are out. He's an asset to the team and is taking his chances well. Clichy coming back will be a boost too, and knowing that there are capable players who are fighting for that spot should make him a better player.

You have no idea how much I miss Jens Lehmann. He made Almunia work for that no. 1 shirt. It is no coincidence that his best season happened with Jens piling the pressure.

Damn you Almunia again. He gets shittier and shittier with every damn game.

So, all in all, a great win. I honestly didn't think we would turn it around. To be fair, Liverpool made it easy. Finally, a win against a big 4 team. After losing to Man Utd and Chelsea, we needed to beat Liverpool. The implications of a loss today would have been massive. We would be further from the league leaders and not making the most out of slips from Chelsea and Man Utd.

And Arshavin. He does love scoring at Anfield. What a goal to win the game. I'd imagine him enjoying this one better than last season's 4 because we won. That's a team player for you. I love how he left Reina rooted while his shot went in with power. Amazing stuff.

Arsene Wenger lost his temper at the right time.

As expected, the injury news just keep piling up.

Theo's out for a month, Rosicky has a niggle too. Apparently his niggle will last at most 3 days, but whadddaayaaaknowww. It's Rosicky. 3 days could mean 3 weeks or 3 months or him retiring.

Meh. Please don't do this to me.

The good news is, Nasri and Fabianski will both be making their return for the reserves. If they have a good game each then they'll be in contention for the senior squad and Nasri sure is a welcome boost, now that we're going to miss Theo again.

The other issue was the Birmingham City fans and their sick chants about Martin Taylor. Somehow, with all the China-bashing, it's the ang-mohs who have no substance. They criticise the yellow people and then they can't think and behave themselves.

Speaking of the Chinese, the funniest shit going on now is the Liverpool beach ball that provided the winning goal in their Sunderland game. It is epic. I never expected such an episide, given this time and age but it happened. Liverpool have a right to be aggrieved but they can't complain too much since the ball was thrown in by their own supporter and their keeper made no attempt to clear it out of his area. I mean, he even went for the beach ball instead of the football. Oh I'll show you alright.

The beach set was subsequently sold out on the Liverpool website as one suspects the Man Utd fans bought them all to throw onto the pitch come the next game when they play each other.

May Arsenal never ever make a beach set. EVER.

Liverpool have lost 4 already and Benitez is still defiant they can win the title. Sounds a bit like our situation last year. It's different for us this year though. We've got the players to make the difference when it counts. We've got the players who have the ability to finish the game off. It could be our year, we just have to keep believing and keep winning.

It's AZ coming up. A win would go a long way to secure qualification for the knockout stages early. That's pretty valuable. If the senior squad takes care of qualifying early then the youngsters will be able to gain valuable experience in the later games while the seniors get a good rest. I like it when this happens. It's always so exciting to see the likes of Ramsey and Wilshere stepping up to lead the team.

It's time to sleep. Dead tired. School tomorrow. Moo.

What is a marketing lecture without the mention of cunty telecom, Singtel?

And we were learning about game theory, which applies best in an oligopolistic industry.

How apt. And timely.

So it's heard that Singtel bidded 400 million for the BPL rights. Not just that, but specifically ESPN Star Sports. They hold the license to basically everything. From F1 to Tennis to Football, you name it. Starhub previously won the bid with 250 million, which doesn't look like such a huge sum after all. That was roughly 3 years ago. From 250m - 400m. Please don't tell me it's to account for inflation.

The truth is, it simply shows how big of a cunt Singtel is. They've got the resources to bid that much and they chose to. In such a situation, one party gains when one party loses. Starhub loses in terms of overall marketshare and revenue. No one really cares about consumers do they? We lose the most. From the hassle of switching to the cost of switching, you name it. More contracts for us to sign our name above the dotted line. More potential penalties in the event of early termination of service. Early termination mostly would happen to a football fan who has financial difficulties, not because the fellow suka suka want to give it up.

Surely the stinkin MIO will get more subscribers. I would be one of them because I will die without football. Singtel would have achieved it's aim of claiming a large part of Starhub's marketshare on cable TV but are we happy? Those cunts will be laughing all the way to the bank while we sit at home and sulk even though we have what we want. It's not like we're pro Starhub. Everything's been pretty okay and comfortable with 1 set-top box and 1 subscription plan. Then Singtel goes and takes the Uefa Champion's League and what did that do? Starhub subscribers pay the same amount as last season for less football coverage. Who the fuck suffers?

US.

It'll forever and ever be us suffering and the big corporations gaining from our misery. Please don't tell us that you didn't forsee such major unhappiness. And they expect us to believe that they'll be charging Starhub's prices when they won the bid with freakin 400 million. Why the fuck would anyone dive right into such a deal which isn't going to bring substantial returns? Just for that statistic on marketshare? Is it just a fucking game?

I am so not amused.

Now, let's examine where the 400 million goes to. The UK. I'm sure we all know we've been a British colony before. Oh Singapura, a bloody fishing village of the 1800s. We're still some feeder country to the UK and we're basically giving all our hard earned money to the Ang Mohs. What a lose-lose situation. Singaporean companies both of which the government have stakes in, attempt to kill each other by raising the bids to epic proportions. I would love to know which other psychotic country will pay 400 million just for football rights to make people downright unhappy. The ang mohs are probably laughing their pink asses off at stupid dumbass Singapore.

It's going to be a week soon from that damned fuckin 1st October announcement and I'm still fucking pissed. I swear, bloody MIO TV is going to be the only fuckin thing I'm getting from that shit company. My handphone and internet plans are going to remain as they are. To actually not be embroiled in their playground squabble, we should just all switch to M1 and let them die.

After Singaporeans have supported Singtel since the beginning of time, when have this shit telco ever given back to us? Ever? All they do is use the resources they've built from ages past to exploit us further. All they think about are profits, profits and profits. They could have just left the bid at 250 million thereabouts as before. There are a fucking load of good things that can be done with the 150 million. They could plant more trees. They could help the less fortunate. Will they ever? I doubt it. They'd rather wire the money straight into the hands of the British without a second thought.

I'm pretty sure elections are coming up next year. I'm sure as hell not voting for PAP. I don't care what opposition, just not PAP. They simply live up to their name of making us pay and pay and pay. This cannot carry on forever. Touch my football and you lose my vote. If they fail to do something about this lame ass shit situation before May 2010, I sure as hell am not voting for you white blood suckers.

There is only one thing I care about in my life and it's football. Pure and simple. Take candy from a baby? You're only courting death.

Being a Singaporean should not be all about being numbed into submission every single time. It really has got to stop at some point. We chased away the communists from before and now their idealogies seem so much more desirable then bullshit democracy because we're not democratic at all. Things just hit us in the face like that and we get pissed but after all that, we can do nothing but accept the situation and life goes on, albeit unhappily. I'm not one who is interested in politics but somehow, getting opposition into parliament might force this white shits to take better care of consumer welfare. Gen Y is all about change and choices, so up your game or you'll lose.

Anyway. Theo has been called up to the U21s. I hate Stuart Pearce. Just when I thought we had a little more insurance over Theo. Rosicky celebrated his 29th birthday on Sunday. He's in his last year of his Arsenal contract. I am utterly gutted. I suppose a big part of getting negotiations started would depend on how much he plays this season. Stay fit my bb. Get that contract and retire at Arsenal please. He's a model pro and one with experience this team needs.

There was so much more to last night's game isn't it. Thierry Henry came onto the pitch before the game. He was in the stands. Contrastingly, Patrick Vieira was at Stamford Bridge for the Chelsea-Liverpool game. I was wondering about that one quite a bit. Whhyyy wasn't he with titi?

Our game was more epic and enjoyable. Why bother watching 2 teams who are chiefs of negative football play each other?

Anyway Torres is such a baby. Such a poor role model for all the kids who are watching. I can't count how many times he showed the wtf sign when fouled. Such a baby. And I thought getting married and becoming a father makes boys grow up.

So. International break. A fortnight long. Meh.

I bring you good news.

Walcott wasn't called up by Capello!!!!!!!!! His chances of picking up an injury within these 2 weeks has been greatly reduced. He can practice one-on-ones with Almunia who should be making his comeback already. I'm still wondering what is going through his head. I expect that he'll be reclaiming his place come the next game.

Van Persie has not travelled with the Dutch squad to Australia. His second child is coming. Fantastic timing.

He shall not be crocked.

I hope it's a girl. He has Shaqueel already and he's adorable. I'm thinking about how a Van Persie girl will look like.

So. Picture of the day.

I can die happy. So happy. Rosicky nestling in Fab's armpit. Creating 4 and scoring 1 in a football match. Awesome. Iniesta is back in the Spanish mix so I don't know how that'll turn out for Cesc. If he doesn't play, all the better.

This football-less period is currently greeted with the flu bug. I am killing trees with the amount of tissue I am using. What's brilliant though, is that no one cares about H1N1 anymore ahaha. I already saw a doctor and he sez it's a virus etc etc and gives me medicine I have never seen before. Only to be take twice a day. What's the point? Heh.

Have a great week ahead. It's freakin Monday and the day is ending~

Grey's Anatomy has resumed normal services as of 24th of September.

And then someone found this:

sauce

McDreamy! With san Iker. Now all they need to do is shave...

My bff is trying to catch up to Grey's Season 6 and she just finished season 2 today. Had to ready the tissue. Potent tear ducts. Well I had a fantastic time laughing my arse off.

So, back to the Arsenal side of things.

Mannone has declared the Fulham game as the best he's ever had. Can't argue with that. He's got a long way more to go and it's good to start everything off with a bang. Now we can take a moment to think about where Almunia has disappeared to. Fabianski too in fact. He was diabolical last season during his run in the first team. Makes me wonder if Vito would have made a difference had he been in goal last term during those games. Hard to tell isn't it. I just think all Arsenal keepers send chills down your spine after Seaman left.

Nicky got into a car accident but fortunately, it's not serious. Just bruising. Face probably. Taking a week off to transplant some skin from that fine ass to his face. Will be back at the weekend.

Injury news ahead of the Olympiacos game is pretty mixed. The boss doesn't seem to ever want to bring Theo back. I suppose he doesn't want to rush the players when there are enough options in the team. The right side of midfield is pretty covered so Theo will benefit from the extended break. I want to see him back though. We still haven't had the chance to experience the difference attacking dimension he brings to a 4-3-3.

That much said, enough with Diaby. I am losing my patience with him. If he stays fit though, he's going to be a regular started because Denilson has been ruled out for 2 months with a back fracture. If Denilson was to be Song's back up in the defensive midfield position, that option is now gone. Arsenal FC on facebook has since posted about Denilson's injury news and 320 gooners liked the update.

Sick to say the least.

The game on Wednesday morning will be shown on Setanta Ireland and prolly ESPN too so yes! I will catch the stream. Credit when it's due - the only good thing bloody Singtel has done right is the Formula One GP. That's it.

The rest is history.

Here's a cry to Arsene Wenger.

Please play Arshavin, Rosicky and Cesc at the same time on the pitch please.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 11:51 PM

The big news is that of the U21 euro tournament which ended last night, with England not lifting the trophy.

With Germany winning 4-0, it was no closely fought match at all.

And the first person to come under fire, is Walcott, just because he's an Arsenal star and one of the most established player in the U21 English team.

I don't think it's necessary to defend Walcott and place the blame on someone else because it's just logical. He can be at fault for not scoring, but he's definitely not at fault for conceding 4 goals.

Pearce had no choice with suspensions to Agbonlahor and Campbell but to put Walcott as the front man. The lone front man, a role he is definitely not familiar with. In Arsenal if he had to play up front, he would have a partner. He never comes across as an out and out striker simply because he cannot challenge effectively in the air, much different from Adebayor and Nicky. Even Nicky has struggled and Adebayor is just lazy.

What Walcott possesses is great pace and his crossing is good at times, and these are better utilised on the wings.

For him to do well, there has to be a midfield creator, in which England does not have. Lee Cattermole for all his quality in his combativeness, does not have an ounce of creativity in his blood. Same for Fabrice Muamba.

England did what Arsenal has been doing - not fully using their player's abilities to their full potential.

Positions on the pitch and tactics employed are how important. You can't give the ball to Theo with the goal in front of him as well as 4 German defenders waiting to pounce with the only support behind him. It's just insane.

I like Theo and the rest of the world should just shut their trap. What did Sp*rs contribute? What did Man U contribute? Some shithead who got sent off. How about Liverpool? Even City gave Micah Richards. Chelsea have stinkin Mancienne who really sucks. I still don't get how come Arsene Wenger gets accused of not feeding the English team. When Gerrard ages and fades there aren't any Liverpool faithfuls, unless you want to count Glen Johnson who was bought to make up the numbers for UEFA's home grown rule.

On a much lighter note, I got to credit Eto'o for being so smart. He's milking the tit as tightly as possible. Making their financial prowess known to the world does have it's downside. Players know what they are worth and how much you are willing to pay them so they ask for more to move to some shit club in the Eastlands. If you don't show me the $ then I'm not coming, simple as that. If you want to give it to me then I'll consider.

£250,000 a week, plus a signing on fee of £12.5m. Otherwise I'd rather stay at Barca.

A very good move, albeit a greedy one, but very very smart. Citeh would have to consider how far they want to go. If they let this one over their heads there'll be more, and their transfer market will be such an exclusively hugely inflated one. Wouldn't Tevez want to same treatment too? Heh.

That's it for today.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 3:42 PM

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.

I WANT TO WORK AT THE ARMOURY.

There, I said it.

Pics here. It's the release of the new away kit.

How awesome is it to be surrounded by awesomeness and then it gets more awesome when the players come down for an autograph session?

FREAKIN AWESOME.

This is an example for a (quite possibly) low paying job with massive returns on your emotional health because you are guaranteed to go to work and end work a very happy person.

For all things happy, there is the unhappy.

1) Cesc
2) Theo

There isn't much to read into, besides the positives. Cesc is angry and being trophyless. Theo is angry at being dropped and is taking it out on the pitch instead.

With Cesc, it's all about the crazy media stirring the pot wildly. They took one word and made it some huge hoo-ha. I swear it might just be because the word is 'impotence', more commonly used on males who can no longer reproduce like it's their God-given right. At least he didn't say that Arsenal is castrated or something. That would be really bad, assuming Arsenal is a boy. By default the English are all shes right?

Medically, impotence can be reversed if it was caused by a vasectomy. If it's naturally occurring I think it's going to be like that forever and ever.

Bad choice of word Cescy-boy.

But lol. I thought the article was really funny. Earlier I was saying that C Ron was leaving even though he won everything at United and I think anyone would kill be win the things he did and Fab as a player on the world stage, he wants those things to be added to his name as well.

What the pot-stirring cuntbags don't realise that he wants to win these things with Arsenal and no other club so they can twist and turn his words and point it in the direction where it's more scandalous but ultimately, gooners of the world should know clearly where his heart lies.

And if his Euro 08 success was a jinx since he was the only one who started last season with a trophy, Spain crashed out of the Confed Cup to the USA (of all people, but credit when it's due). It's back to Spain who can't perform well on the world stage isn't it? I do get the feeling bloody England are front runners to win the world cup next year.

Then we have Theo, who will be part of the English squad certainly. He was dropped by cunty Pearce and then came back for vengeance in the following game as a sub and could be dubbed the chief influence to their 2-0 win over Spain in the U21 Euros.

Anger ain't a bad thing in football as long as it is directed on the pitch, on the ball, and certainly not at other players.

That's football.

In my own life, happiness is what matters.

I want to work at the armoury!

I might just give an exclusive interview to whoever chooses to print Adebayor on their jersey since he's probably off somewhere.

Mooo. Am being dragged out of the house. Feel like pang-seh-ing.

Heh. But I can't. I'll get murdered. Friday nights are best spent at home with my computer and my games instead of squeezing with the weekend crowd or worst still, have a night out and incur cab fare. Or get drunk.

My last night out was worth $28.20 in cab fare and twice as much in drinks. And I didn't get drunk!

*moans about tonight.

Thomas Vermaelen is due to undergo a medical at Arsenal today and complete his transfer.

Might be some news if it's posted on the official site since everytime I hit refresh I am disappointed.

I'm playing Football Manager to get by, with the updated patch. Updated patch does not contain Arshavin. Still. It's a patch which adds more rubbish and perhaps is more realistic and enough to frustrate my brains inside out.

1) Bendtner underperforming and the fans voicing their concerns

2) every damn goalkeeper I play against is always in top form

3) Newcastle is in top 4

4) Denilson is a wonderkid :O

Then there are certain things which are true reflections:

1) Hull City is foul. Bad bad bad disciplinary record. Relegation battling team.

2) Diaby and Rosicky are never fit.

On the not so virtual football side of things, the England U21s beat Spain 2-0. What a surprise. Spain hasn't scored in the tournament yet? They drew their opening game 0-0. Bojan, Bojan.

I still hate Stuart Pearce. But I love Theo for being the professional he is. Wherever he is, however he's treated, he gives his all. That's Theo for you. He does things to the best he can.

I've seen Cesc's new haircut quite a few times and it is bad. Baaad. Like a mini mohawk but a more outrageous version of Robin's. They had better not share barbers. Zohan will come and get you.

I am dying in my room. It's in a mess from unpacking and I have no storage space. Feel like throwing every piece of junk away. Solve all my problemos.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 5:58 PM

I caught a movie today on my day out.

Taking Pelham 123

In this time and age, we've seem too many movies consisting solely on hijacking. I mean, we had Air Force 1, then we had Speed 2 (no Keanu bahahaa) and basically anything to do with hostage taking can easily be a hijacking on whatever vehicle they're on.

The plot is well thought out, but it's not intense enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, the way Angels and Demons did. For both shows, they were running on a ticking clock but somehow you would have felt it more on A&D even if Taking Pelham 123 had someone dying every minute instead of every hour.

So then you'll be figuring out if I enjoyed the movie at all and I did, because of the two leads who will make any movie work - John Travolta as the baddie and Denzel Washington as the goodie of course. It can never be the reverse.

A rare mini movie review for ya!

In other news, Aaron Carter posted his number on Twitter and it's real. Not that I tested it. I only want candy.

In more other news, Thailand's H1N1 cases has twenty-folded since it's first declaration of the virus. I couldn't laugh more, even though I'm due to go there like next month. Just fuck it really. I'd do better to go there nearer to school reopening so that I can be responsible and isolate myself for 7 days and 7 nights the same way my friend's boyfriend, the HERO of newpaper (shittiest tabloid everrrrrrrrr epic fail X 793486378648967896757644) did.

He will be most commonly known by us as the boyfriend who isolated himself.

And even if I were to be sent to CDC or whatever, I've been preparing my computer for it all. Sims 3, Football Manager, Fallout 3, PES. That'll be enough to occupy me and keep me from boredom till the next millennium.

No actually. I need football. Live football. Live Arsenal football. The U21 Euros in Sweden has proven to be ultra bad substitutes. I want Gibbs and Walcott to triumph but I hate Stuart Pearce.

What conflicting feelings I have.

So apparently my dear country Singapore is expected to move away from the process of contact tracing and quarantining people since it's stretching our resources, not because it's completely stupid. They're treating all this H1N1 shit like SARS when it isn't that bad. Take the cue from your greatest ally on mother earth - US doctors just tell their patients to wear a mask and get well soon.

And so not torture people to the point of insanity by keeping them in isolation. If only the movie Moon was to be released in Singapore. Everyone should love Sam Rockwell.

The flu is coming, whether we like it or not. An imposed hospital stay should not be $400 per day just for the flu with no decent television and internet, as TTSH claims.

That's about all the dirt the Singapore media wants since they have nothing else to report on, after rape, theft and assault, rape being the hot hot hot hot favourite where the victim is left scarred for life.

Until Jet Li became a Singapore citizen.

Bwahaha.

srsly. We're the new Monaco of Asia I see. Is China's taxation that bad?

So. I don't suppose this is a football blog anymore. Heh.

Ah. Draft fixtures here.

Arsenal.com has already given the lo-down on it so I don't think I need to analyse or over-analyse because it is what it is.

We play at St Andrews only in March 27 next year so hopefully dudu will be flying already and can go there and no one gets all emo about it while we continue hating Martin Taylor yes.

Lastly, no one is going to forget Newcastle United. I think their progress in the Championship will be highly scrutinised with no good reason. That's a lot of unnecessary pressure really. Anyhow, it's going to be a premier league clash in the championship when they face West Brom on the opening day.

I can only laugh.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 8:51 PM

I thought the all important update should be coming after 5 pm since the fixture list will be out.

Apparently though, for Arsenal, part of our first fixtures are out already and according to all the other shitty non-gooners it's pretty bad. Smart of them to start making themselves heard before they see their own.

But whatever, no matter how easy or how difficult, Arsenal always has a tendency to stumble anyway. Do fixtures really matter? The job still remains plain and simple - keep winning.

I'll see the rubbish we'll be getting later.

Anyway, why the earlier post is because Xabi Alonso and his Liverpool fucks are fucking leg-breakers. As if once isn't enough. Further reports have suggested that the tackle on Cesc and Carzorla weren't serious to keep them out of the Iraqi game, but srsly.

FUCK YOU ALONSO.

And they went and tried to end the careers of the two who had bad injuries last season. Carzorla missed the Arsenal-Villarreal game through a serious injury if you recall.

You can hardly safely assume that a shitty team like stinkinpool doesn't practice defending like 99% of the time because that is what they only do. Defend, defend, defend, the counter attack.

The counter attack part means pump long ball.

I bet that fucker Alonso wouldn't go in as hard into Gerrard or Torres but because it's Cesc, from Arsenal.

Not sure Cesc would still want him at Arsenal now. Except that they've made up yet again after Alonso simply apologised. If apologies worked then the world wouldn't be at war. North Korea could apologise for their nuclear test (no way in hell they would) and then still keep their reactors going and the world will be fuckin okay with it.

Then we have the other cunt in the form of Stuart Pearce, who dragged Theo to Sweden for the U21 Euros just to want to axe him now.

SERIOUSLY.

The press isn't the best outlet to air such rubbish about non-performing players. Theo is the last player you should speak of like this because he's one of the few players of the world who plays football with his heart and without a doubt, gives fucking everything, especially for his lousy country with some numb shit as manager who doesn't appreciate it.

GTFO STUART PEARCE.

Even Capello knows he has to give Theo time and is keeping faith in him to allow him to grow and develop as the first choice right winger for England. So screw you Pearce shit, Theo can take a break on the bench instead while England crumbles to Spain and you wouldn't have Theo to blame, neither will you have to depend on him because you simply don't deserve to have Walcott at your disposal you stinkin son of a bitch.

In happier, happier news, our lady-hater Arshavin is coming out in strong support for the female Russian team. Not sure they'll appreciate it wholly after his declaration that women should be banned from driving but apparently not football. Hiddink is the other extra who's jumped on the bandwagon. I like him so much better when Chelsea isn't in the picture. Actually no, still can't hide my animosity.

I love you Arsha, and the ladies should too.

There are the extremely dumb ones who can't see beyond that comment. They choose to adore the likes of Ronaldo who is a golden brown STD carrier with only a capacity for one-night-stands without knowledge of how women should be treated with respect, with the exception of Paris Hilton.

Would you prefer some guy who thinks girls shouldn't be behind the wheel because he's had a bad experience i.e. an accident which almost ended his life but he is still all capable of starting his own family with a female being

or

some other guy who just fucks 'em and leaves 'em?

Women of the world always choose wrong.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 12:33 PM

So the LA Lakers ended NBA season instead of allowing the Orlando Magic to force a game 6. That essentially means that they've won the title.

Being football starved forces you to get up at 8 am (having only fallen asleep at around 6) to watch some form of sports to feed the ailing heart.

Except that it didn't complete work since I'm still football starved because it's BASKETBALL.

Fundamental problem of every month of June unless there's extra rubbish going on. I mean, it's 2010 next year and there's the world cup. Nothing out of the ordinary, once every 4 years.

What's hilarious is Singapore's thrown-away GOAL 2010 dream. Never was close. Never will be. You get the feeling that football in Singapore will always be a total fail. Even our greatest pride in Table Tennis still loses hands down to China, keeping in mind that they're from China too.

Anyway, Kobe Bryant is some kind of awesome. To be at the top, and then hit rock bottom and make it back to the top again, is no mean feat. Phil Jackson kinda reminds me of SAF but I'm missing the point where he isn't a cunt, or that I would never know since I don't follow. He did publish a book branding Kobe Bryant "uncoachable". Look where they are now.

We'll never see this with Ferg and Ronaldo will we.

Not that we want to.

Cesc doesn't want to. He thinks United will crumble without Ronaldo, who has opened a crab farm in America. He might fail his Madrid medical because he lost his P.

Cesc has been talking a little too much to the media really.

But he has his points.

Whatever it is, he will stay at Arsenal player. However much he loves the Barca players and Pep, he loves the Arsenal too. Growing up in one place doesn't mean you have to stay there forever and not fall in love with anything else.

Our airport has slipped to number 3. Normally I would care, but I just don't. Incheon International is number 1. Maybe that's why. It's hard not to fall in love with Korea because it's Korea. South Korea to be exact. You'll never find another as cultured society elsewhere, with probably closest rivals being Japan. The only things different with Japan are their masked kinkiness and their penis God.

42% of South Koreans do not have a religion.

How marvelous is that.

There is football tonight. Theo and Gibbsy will be in action for the U21s. I'm definitely watching. Gibbsy as a utility player? That's something I gotta watch. Stuart Pearce pushed him to cover in the centre of the park the last game and he was superb.

I need to be clear that I'm not for converting positions because it's crap and we've seen too many people playing out of position last season and that totally did not sit well with me. Besides, Gibbs was converted once already from being an offensive lefty.

That's enough.

In boardroom shit, apparently Use-my-knob has came up with an ingenious plan to buy unsold shares and give it to the fans. Even a 2-year old can see that it's a bloody ploy. In his world, by accepting any little bit of his kindness would just inherit obligations from some numb shit. He never gets it that we don't need his help.

If there's anything to learn from what RM has done this transfer window, English clubs need to see for themselves that a billionaire's backing is unnecessary. You don't need someone to tell your manager that hey, I dug into my pocket and here, you have 10m to spend. Use it wisely. If you want more, you'll have to sell before you buy.

When Fans own the team, they can buy anyone. It benefits the stupid shit Ronaldo and his spread of herpes in Spain but at least he is out of England.

So. I had to watch the whole game last night. Not that I was watching as intently as I would an Arsenal game but ya, watching.

Somehow, Capello seems to like to make half time changes so I was hoping that Walcott would come off for Ashley Young so I have all the reason to turn off the TV but he replaced Gerrard, who simply cannot play on the flanks. Young did so much better and that should speak volumes.

I wanted to set fire to the commentator who was constantly dissing Walcott with his every touch of the ball or when he lost the ball. For the love of God, he's only 20 and is still developing. If you are unhappy about his selection, take it out with the manager. I'm sure Walcott will outsprint you by a million times. He is so passionate about his game and country (sadly) that he's going to take part in 2 tournaments and forgo whatever summer R&R, going against his club manager's wishes.

So up your hole, commentator whose name I can't really be bothered to find out, except that it wasn't Martin Tyler.

I think I was pretty much caught up reading up on Osama Bin Laden come the second half. To be honest, I thought he was in his 80s. Weird beard and saggy face makes for such an assumption but in fact, he is 52, after his declaration of his birthdate. What I was interested in is his ideals and what he wanted for the world and why the hell do they call doofuses like him extremists. Now I know why. He completely lost me when his beliefs consisted of civilian deaths being part of the master plan. This numbshit claims immorality on homosexuality when he married 4 women and fathered 25. He too claims immorality on fornication, which is consensual sex between unmarried individuals. If every man was entitled to 4 wives, perhaps whatever fornication bullshit would not take place. If Osama had to be contented with 1 woman he would be more American than he wants to. Americans can go to Vegas everytime they want to have sex then. Marriage as an institution consists of one man and one woman and not one man and four women. That is what is truly immoral you cunthole.

I got onto the dead or alive chase (albeit a very short while) because of recent N. Korea rubbish. No one knows if dear freakin leader Kim Jong il is dead or alive.

Some things we'll never know. Anyway, that wonky dictator's wiki states that he is a proficient user of the internet and srsly, when the rest of his country isn't. I suppose he watches foreign television as well and probably subscribed to Setanta or not, since they're crashing out. Skysports then. If he ever supported an English team, it would definitely be Manchester United don't you think?

SAF is football's only dictator and we're all crying tears of sheer joy he didn't take the Arsenal job. He may have delivered more trophies to Arsenal than Arsene Wenger would have, but the fundamentals of the club, whatever makes Arsenal, Arsenal, and why I love the Arsenal, will all cease to exist.

Lastly, Capello is one hell of a manager.

Capello: I want an early goal

Capello gets it within 4 minutes.

How often does that happen? Save for the opponents having to be Andorra.

I'm exploring twitter. I think it's funny, especially when within hours of opening an account, I've got followers even though I haven't posted anything.

Why would random people want to follow someone they have no idea who they are?

Besides, I think it's pretty lame to post things like "I am going to eat at Tampines Macs at 6p.m. later". Or "I am going to play Sims 3 right freakin now."

Truthfully, it more to replicate my friend and follow Ellen and perhaps a few others. Definitely not to be followed.

My life is how boringly boring so it makes no sense to keep track of what I do everyday unless you're a serial stalker who has nothing else better to do than to stalk people. AH HAH! YOU'RE AT MACS! or something like that.

To set the records straight, I am not eating macs at 6p.m.. lol.

As usual, I did my bit of following on BBC Footie and then the headline news at the moment is Singapore group plans Magpies bid which made me lol quite badly after I read the article.

I've only ever heard of the Profitable Group when they flash the commercials during half time of games and frankly, I never knew they were Singapore affiliated. And I wouldn't have guessed that they'd have £100m in reserves to splash on buying a football club.

I would say finally, maybe Singapore will have her chance of being in the football playing arena, but the deal isn't confirmed and I wouldn't consider Profitable Group Singaporean. I don't understand why Singapore anyway. We're a society who are quite cautious of investments and things to do with ang mohs since our concept of them is that they're frivolous in their spending. Look at Real Madrid. After Kaka, they're still going after Ronaldo. Maybe Ronaldo will leave as well so that ManUre can cut their football debt as well bahahaha. Then I realised Chelsea doesn't really have anyone who is worth £50m. If they needed to sell players to service a debt they'll have to sell a few players.

I'd say we have Cesc Fabregas who could garner such a price tag but he's definitely not for sale. He had a minor head injury in his Spain match but it all should be fine. I suppose the change in hairstyle might have caused it.

There'll be a bit of football tonight and hopefully some Walcott action. Capello has expressed his faith in Theo and is excited to see the player he develops into. I still don't like him playing with the cunty national team but that's life. He's English. He'd better start or I'll have to watch the whole game with him on the bench waiting to come on and settle for booing Cuntley Cunt's every touch of the ball. If he does start though, I'll be turning off the TV (or changing the channel) when he gets subbed off.

P.S. Kobe Bryant is awesome
