UEFA Champions League Day 2

And so, the 2nd day had results that pleases me!
Ronnie is NOT gonna like this. He might just take my name off as a contributer in the blog!
Lol, nah.. He's not that mean. =D



Score : Manchester United 0-0 Villareal

I'm pleased with the score!



and this boy is back in the field!
It's crazy that he had so much support from the crowd even though he wanted to leave the club few months back.
Oh well, let's just hope he stop scoring goals and wants to go R.Madrid next season! *woot*

Lol.
Sigh, I'm way too bias in the football world. =/
Aww... but who isnt?

Anyway, the rest of the match scores... (although you can go directly to soccernet)

Bayern M. 1-0 Steaua B.
Lyon 2-2 Fiorentina
Porto 3-1 Fernabahce
Dynamo Kiev 1-1 Arsenal
Real Madrid 2-0 Bate Borisov
Juventus 1-0 Zenit

No upsets though, all the CL giants ease thru the 1st match of UEFA. (besides Roma the other day)
So, what's in store for ManU since Ronaldo is back?

I reckon its gonna be even more competitive and crazy.
Not forgetting the cocky ManU fans too.

Right At Your FACE!

Score : Liverpool 2-1 Man U!


*Woot*

WE FINALLY GOT OUR FIRST WIN OVER 4 YEARS IN THE LEAGUE!
This is such an important win for Liverpool! Omg!!
(I know most of you are wondering why I'm not blogging about this, how can? Such a big win you know! lol)

Honestly, being a Liverpool fan myself, I thought it was a one-sided match as Gerrard and Torres were not playing! I would be happy if it was a draw.

You know what's worse? It was also Berbatov's debut match in ManU. All eyes were on him, waiting for him to score a goal in Anfield. I already lost hope already la.
Got Berbatov, Carrick.. but dun have Gerrard and Torres! =/

I could still remember, during youth service, most of the ManU fans were making fun at our situation, telling us how confident they were, how they are DEFINITELY gonna win the match! One even told us.. 3-1 Man U! I dun wanna mention names, cuz you were really nice to me when ManU won against Liverpool the last time. But hey, to the rest of you..

Haha. RIGHT AT YOUR FACE!

Ok la, cannot be too cocky bcuz at the 3rd minute of the game, I wanted to cry big time already.
Berbatov crossed the ball for Tevez to score a stunning goal.
At that time, I was just shocked and I buried myself with a pillow.
Julia was practically screaming in denial, while the rest of ManU fans were celebrating!
Oh, we were at Ben's place celebrating lantern festival btw! lol.

That was not funny ok! I was practically shouting in anger for the rest of the 13 minutes scolding them! Haha.
And every minute Cheah and Kane walked in the hall, they would ask.. so, 2-0 already ? 3-0?
Nonsense la they all.

Then, came the time when out of nowhere, Van Der Sar and Brown made a huge mistake doing-dunno-what and we got an own goal from Wes Brown!!!


Liverpool 1-1 Man U!

This is how he looked after he scored the goal for us. Maybe deep down he feels honoured to score such an important goal for Anfield. =P
Who cares if it wasnt a Liverpool player who scored the goal? A goal is STILL a goal!
and that was what mattered! =)

At half time, it was still 1-1. Nothing much happened besides me whacking Kane, Ian and Alvin so hard each time Liverpool almost concede or scores. =p
I confirm no need to get bf if pple see me screaming like this! Lol.

This is our Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez btw. Just to let you know la, in case you dunno who he is! =)

2nd half was way better than the 1st for us. They started to attack consistently, going forward with every opportunity. ManU barely got past the midfield.

Bcuz I was so engrossed with Liverpool attempting to score, I didn look at how bad the ManU's defense was. (ManU fans say so!)
Even Joel said that we had a strong midfield.

I think its bcuz Gerrard came in sometime at the 2nd half that got Liverpool's confidence!

Our beloved skipper, Steven Gerrard.

At the 77th minute, after numerous efforts of Liverpool players trying to score a goal, Ryan Babel scored a goal!


GOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

At this point, its Liverpool 2-1 ManU!

Mascherano was the one who dribble past the defenders before passing the ball to Babel for the goal! Apparently it was ManU player's fault at defending bcuz they should have kicked the ball out and concede a corner instead of shielding the ball.

Oh well, what can I say? =)



At the end of 90 minutes, we got the full 3 points to stay alive in the title race! Well done, Liverpool! We deserve this win and we needed this so badly.
Losing to ManU 7 out of 8 times was really demoralising and now, we're back!
It gave us the confidence we really needed and we are gonna fight hard and do whatever it takes to get the trophy!

Liverpool, you'll never walk alone!

p.s. Vidic got a red card, so they'll meet Chelsea without him. Terry also got red card, so no terry and no vidic.

p.p.s I'm so happy!! Yea, its just the beginning of the season, wait till Chelsea beat u next week, then u know! =D

The Man Is Back

After months and months of being overshadowed by Rafael Nadal in the world of tennis, Roger Federer, being dethroned by Nadal as number one earlier in the year, roared back with a resounding victory at the US Open.



For a record, it is Federer's fifth straight US Open at Flushing Meadows, with only 4-5 tennis players holding such a record in the tournament's history.



More importantly, it also signified the return of his form.



As quoted by Anthony Suntay from ESPN,



"After realising that the rest of the world had caught up with him, he went out and looked to add to his already intimidating game. He took the losses in stride and looked to improve"



It truly is. I only managed to catch the highlights of the game, but I had witnessed his fantastic backhand shots which is always his trademark in his style of play. Perhaps still one of the best backhander in the world, and perhaps left finalist Andy Murray with no ability to reply as well.



With this victory, he responded perfectly to criticisms saying age has caught up with him, and he no longer has the dominant force in him.



Who says so?



The fact that his slight blip over the tournaments was treated like the end of the world for him by the brutal media coverage, but the truth is, he still has the determination to wrestle the number one spot back from Rafael Nadal. Maybe few of u knew that he has gotten into the top 4 stage for the 18th consecutive time, according to statistics, and not many players are able to do that.






US Open glory for Fedex.

The man will be back for more, again.

A "Bombing" Weekend

Yes, Claryn was right. I should have blogged about this long long time ago.

I would like 2 wish a warm welcome to




THIS MAN!

After months and months of speculation surrounding the transfer saga, Man Utd finally got their man in the form of Dimitar Berbatov.

Rather big in size as a striker, he possesses talented skills much to the envy of any other strikers would dream of. A reminiscence of the great Eric Cantona, he has the calmness when he's on the ball, and it's not to easy for defenders to play against him as he can virtually stun you with a shot at goal dead-accurately even when he is in an impossible position.

Absolute means of composure in front of goal, he is blessed with a touch of a classy goal-poacher as well.

I SERIOUSLY can't wait for his debut against Liverpool in the weekend. Trust me, it's gonna be one heck of a game.

Transfer window closes

My verdict : Bad news!



Berbatov is confirmed joining Man U for 30.75mil pounds.
The news here.

My thoughts on this? LIKE WHAT THE CRAPPPPPPP!!!
No!
Why must he join the devils at the very last minute?

ManU already good enough ok! Why la why?
I tell you, when they play Liverpool on the Sept 13, I'm gonna hide my face la if he scores like his debut goal and wins the match! =/

Ronnie is gonna scold me for bloggin like this, and I bet he's gonna blog about it.
You should see his face when Calvin told him the news today.
I was expecting him to go ManCity ok! The newspaper say one! =/

Mana tahu! I darn sad now ok! =( *cries*
It's good news for ManU but bad news for me!

But hor, that news is NOT as big as this piece of news!



ROBINHO IS IN MAN CITY!

He's like one of the top footballers in the world, and then suddenly he's in ManCity?
The news here.
Apparently, the football world is shocked with the news!
Haha.
Actually, I am also. =P
He was suppose to go to Chelsea but then ManCity? lol.
Let's just see what's gonna happen.

EPL rocks rocks rocks!!

but ONLY IF Liverpool plays well, which currently is not!
Both Gerrard and Torres are injured.
I'm darn sad ok.
and frustrated.
and angry.

Looking at how they play against Aston Villa just makes me wanna cry!! *cries*
