Malaysia XI and Man Utd

I'm no great fan of both team but still  I watch their game. (On TV of course cause not willing to fork money out to watch them)

That does not say for the die hard Man Utd fans. They came all over the region to watch this game. Singapore, Brunei, Pakistan, Bangaladesh and bla bla.... all went to Bukit Jalil stadium. To watch their favourite team live.

The scoreline was a pretty suprising one. Malaysia 2 Manchester United 3 (I was expecting a 10-0 scoreline from Man Utd. So disappointing. Lolx)

The game can be rated as an okay. 6.5/10 game? somewhere around there. Not a bad one from both team but not as exciting as you compare to most EPL or UCL games.

The game started like what I was expecting, Man Utd to dominate the game. Bang! Less than 20 minutes. They are 2 nil up in 20 minutes. After that, I think they are just somehow giving "face" to the host and played quite relaxly. Abit sloppy at times but still show some quality but the final third in front of goal is abit off the break. But with the sloppyness they are playing, Man U did still come agonisingly close to score a few. (Not bad...)

But the Malaysian team did  something which I would be proud of as being a Malaysian. Scoring twice to draw level against Man Utd. The first one came from a long ball from the keeper and No.17 Amri controlled the ball well and hit it fantastically 1st time to lob it pass Van de Sar. (The best goal of the game. A brilliant goal for any player to do it against Man U.) The second one was abit sloppy from Man Utd's second choise keeper Ben Foster. A misjudged ball led to Malaysia drawing level. (At this point I did somehow hope for miracale to happen --- Malaysia winning the game.... So ambitious of me xD)

However that miracle of mine did not happen. Owen scored his first goal for Man U to win the game. Aikkss... Anyway I like the way the Malaysian team played. No skill, No strength, No height, NO PROBLEM. The fighting spirit is there. MALAYSIA BOLEH! Hope they can continue to play like this and I might change my mind and support them one day in the future. I'm still very much an ANAK MALAYSIA. xD

p.s: i still hope i can 1 day see malaysia make it to the world cup finals. ^^

Pure agony

Just finish watching Champion League football. Arsenal lost for the 1st time in a european semi-final tie....conceded at home in the Champion League this season. And the hopes of reaching Rome has disappeared.

Two early goals eventually killed off the tie. I really feel for the poor Gibbs in the slip up for the 1st goal. The goals rattled Arsenal's confident, the players couldnt play their slick passing football anymore. What an agony to watch when your team cant play their normal football at home. I even thought of a come back when Fletcher was sent off late in the 2nd half, however that thought never materialise. Haihz....Arsenal lost to Man Utd 3-1 in the end. But I know this is not the end for Arsenal, I know they gonna come again next season. Hoping that next season will be a better one.

One more last thought for me and the season- I hope Arsenal can deny Man Utd the title for EPL this season. Cause I really really really really really dont want to see them win the title. I rather see Liverpool lifting the trophy. ;p ( I sound like a sore loser but Liverpool fans will love this thought very much)

Just signing off with,

And it's Arsenal, 
Arsenal FC, 
We're by far the greatest team, 
The world has ever seen....

Wonderful night at Anfield

Liverpool vs Arsenal is the menu tonight. WHAT A GAME.....this is what I can say.Worth every single minute to stay up and watch the game. It is a night where Andrey Arshavin scored an awesome foursome at Anfield but Liverpool fought back to snatch a draw in a pulsating encounter.

Arshavin the man.

Yes, it is a night full of goals (7 goals in the 2nd half) and the goals are quite intresting but it is also a night full of mistakes. 8 goals scored and 8 mistakes made. This is what make the game so intresting. This is a night which Liverpool needed a win to compete the title with Man Utd. The game was played at a high tempo from the start. With the Kop roaring their team on, it is a very tough away game for the Gunners. It was almost all Liverpool from the start with Arsenal rarely threatening the goal. But Arshavin, Arsenal's latest signing manage to make the best out of all the chances he had. Scoring an awesome 4 goals. It is a feat where not many players manage to do at an away game especially Anfield. Although Arsenal cant hold on to the lead and let Liverpool draw level during stoppage time, I didnt feel really disappointed with the outcome. Maybe Arshavin scored 4? or Arsenal didnt play their best and made the game so intresting?

I really got no idea. After the game, I saw the statistic.  Liverpool got 26 shots with 14 on target compare to Arsenal's 8 on goal with 4 on target. And Arsenal got ZERO corner. OMG! Arsenal was  dominated by Liverpool for almost the whole game and Reina, Liverpool's keeper did not even make a real save in the game. At the end of the day, if you ask me did Arsenal deserve to lose, I will tell you no and neither do Liverpool. Because both sides doesnt deserve to lose this game. All in all, it was a great game by both teams. 

Nice =)

This might be the 1st and last time i gonna comment on a rival team.

Watch Liverpool trash Manchester United 4-1. A great game by Liverpool. Although Liverpool were a goal down, they never gave up. They kept on going and  finally rewarded. Kudos to the Liverpool players. Is never easy to come back from a goal down in an away game furthermore the opponent is Man United and playing in the Theatre of Dreams. YOU NEVER WALK ALONE. ^^

p.s. this doesnt mean i've forgive what Liverpool done to Arsenal in last year's UCL. I want a quarter-final revenge this seasoon. -GG-

Great game from Arsenal too. A  convincing 4-0 win over Blackburn. This is the type of football i've been craving for a long time. Just love the way Arsenal played especially during the second half. A superb solo effort from Arshavin and Walcott looks good in the game. Keep up the good work Gunners.

Great relief

Woke up early morning just to catch this match. Roma VS Arsenal. The return leg for the round of 16 Champion League match.

A tough away match for Arsenal. Playing infront of  70,000+ Roma fans. The Gunners have to suffered jeers from the home fans everytime they got the ball. (Good staminas from the Romans. Lol) This affected Arsenal's way of playing in the whole game. They werent playing at their best, the team is abit sloppy and sluggish. Roma is playing with confidence and almost dominated the whole game. 

Thanks to lady luck. Roma failed to score twice in the game. =) (Arsenal won the first leg 1-0, so now the game is tied at 1-1)

After 3 and half hours of football, the game is still tied. ITS PENALTY TIME!!!! The most exciting part in the game. Its like lottery. Any of the team can win it, its 50-50. My heart pumped even faster now. Getting anxious than ever. Eduardo misses the 1st penalty for Arsenal. GOSH!!! I thought we are going to lose this time. (I kept on praying to god for Roma to miss a penalty. xD Roma's player are quite good in taking penalty, however Arsenal's player are quite composed too.^^) Thank god for answering my call. Almunia managed to get Arsenal back on track when he saves Vucinic's penalty.Phew, great relief. But that doesnt mean my heart is gonna slow down. Its going faster and faster, somewhere near the heart attack situation. LOL. And in the sudden death penalty shoot-out, Max Tonetta blast his shot over the bar. ARSENAL WON!!!! 7-6 in the penalties. ARSENAL are through to the quarter-finals. A great win in Rome for the Gunners. 

Thank you so much guys. You made my day so much brighter with the win.

Not one of the best matches i've ever watched but still its one of the match that i cherish most. Another great european night for Arsenal.

Finally it comes to an end

Finally my patience is bearing fruit. After months of waiting, you finally arrived. I know allot of people is frustrated over you but I never gave up on you. Thank you for selecting the reds over the whites of North London. Although you aren't as good as Zinedine Zidane, I still welcome you with my open hands to the Gunners, ANDREY ARSHAVIN!!!

Arshavin you are gonna look cool in the number 23 jersey. Hope you can return the swashbuckling football i'm craving for all this time and of course the glory days of the Gunners. I'm starve for success. Its been years i've not seen the club lifting any trophies. PLEASE, i beg you, end the pain i'm suffering all these while. Enjoy your time in Arsenal. ^^
