BPL Round Up

So yesterday, the second round of BPL matches of this season came to a conclusion, with my team Arsenal following up from last week's null 0-0 draw against Sunderland with an equally disappointing performance against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium, a game that produced the exact same scoreline. In another feisty match yesterday, Manchester City bounced back twice at Anfield to earn a 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

Currently, Chelsea lead the standings with 3 wins out of 3, with them having played one more game. Second, surprisingly to many, is Swansea City. They have won 2 games out of 2. They, like Arsenal, have kept a clean sheet in the BPL so far, but unlike Arsenal, have no problem firing at the other end.

Hopefully for all Gooners, Arsenal can keep another clean sheet and still nick a goal against Liverpool next week.

In the transfer news, Arsenal are linked with two Newcastle United players, Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote. To get both these players, Arsenal may need to pay up to 40 million pounds, which is the amount of money they collected from the sales of Robin van Persie and Alex Song. In my opinion, I don't think Arsenal need both these midfielders, as they already have plenty of them with the likes of Abou Diaby, Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Emmanuel Frimpong and Jack Wilshere. So what will happen? That's up to Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.

August 18

Hey people!

Now I know I haven't posted for quite a while, because I've been caught up in the summer thrill (you can't blame me).

So, the Olympics recently passed and it was great (except for Dato' Lee Chong Wei failing to get gold)!

Anyway, football fans would know why August 18 is such a special date. Yes, that's right, the 2012/2013 Barclays Premier League kicks off on that day.

Many top flight matches will be played during the weekend. The most prominent ones are :

Wigan vs Chelsea
Everton vs Manchester United
Arsenal vs Sunderland

So be prepared for another season of drama, excitement and passion.

The Premier League is back!

Euro 2012 Final

This Sunday, or in the wee hours of Monday morning, is the final of Euro 2012. Instead of the final I was hoping for, which was Spain versus Germany, the final is a contest between Spain and Italy. Yes, Mario Balotelli scored a brace as the Azzuri defeated the Germans in the semi final. In the other semi final, Spain dramatically beat  Portugal in a tense penalty shoot-out. Spain will be expected to play their style of keeping possession of the ball, a style which has been dubbed 'Tikki-Takka'. The Italians will look to defend with their lives and break swiftly on the counter-attack. That tactic looks promising with their two strikers, Antonio Cassano and Balotelli in terrific form. However, I expect Spain to get their third piece of major silverware in a row.

Revision, Exams and Loads of Fun

Hey guys. Now I haven't been posting lately, and the reason to that is illuminated on the title.

You might be wondering, what has kept me so busy. There are these three things:

1) Revision
-I have been revising a lot for school, and it has been pretty hard, probably because there are so many subjects and there are so many things to remember. Anyway, all the revision was building up to...

2) Exams
-I recently had my End of Year Exam Week, and to every student, the week passed really slowly, and when I finally finished my last paper, I was literally jumping with joy. Not only had the exams passed, but...

3) Loads of Fun
-Immediately after Exam Week, I went to Singapore for the annual Horizon's Week with my friends. It was really fun, especially the trip to Universal Studios Singapore. It was awesome.

Anyway, while all that was happening, Euro 2012 was still going on. The teams that were eliminated during the group stage were Poland, Russia, Holland, Denmark, Ireland, Croatia, Sweden and Ukraine. So far, two quarter finals have been played, Portugal edging Czech Republic 1-0 while Germany whipped Greece 4-2. The other two quarter finals are Spain versus France and England versus Italy.

Do you want to know who I think will win the tournament? I predict this will be Germany's year, I've always said it from the start.

Long Time No See

So, it's been a long time since I last posted, so I'll just give a short run-down about football.

Arsenal beat West Brom 3-2 to finish third, while Man City defeated QPR by the same scoreline to clinch the title. Chelsea won the Champions League and relegated 4th place Tottenham to the Europa League. Speaking of relegation, Wolves, Blackburn and Bolton were relegated and Southampton, Reading and West Ham will take their places next season. Robin van Persie won the Golden Boot Award with 30 goals, Rooney came in second with 27. Peter Crouch's stunning goal against Man City was voted Goal of the Season, while Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny's double save against Liverpool was voted Save of the Season. Joe Hart won the Golden Glove Award with 12 clean sheets. Fernando Torres' incredible miss against Man Utd was voted Miss of the Season, and finally, QPR's Joey Barton was voted the Least Sporting Player.

Too many doctors in Malaysia

Hey guys!

You, know, I've always wanted to be a doctor, but recently I heard of an article stressing on the fact that by 2018, there will be too many doctors in Malaysia. This is because Malaysia are producing so many doctors that not all of them may get a good job. By 2018, there would be a glut of doctors in Malaysia.

Recently, the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetist (ANZCA) stopped offering their training program to new trainees in Malaysia after more than 50 years doing so. This is bad news for future doctors as another opportunity goes by.

Now onto sports, the final round of matches of the 2011/12 Barclays Premier League will be played simultaneously on Sunday. All the matches start at 2.00 PM GMT, or 10.00 PM GMT+8. Man City and Man United battle for the title, as both those teams play QPR and Sunderland respectively. In the race for third, Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle must win and hope the others slip up. Hopefully for me my Gunners will get the win.  They play against West Brom, while Tottenham and Newcastle play Fulham and Everton respectively.

That's all from me now. See ya!

HELD!!!

Hey people.

Arsenal were amazingly held to a 3-3 draw against Norwich last night. Hopefully Newcastle and Spurs lose tonight.

Hi!!!

Anyway, I know I haven't been posting lately, it's because I've been studying for an exam I recently had. It's called Checkpoints.

Checkpoints is an exam set up by Cambridge University for all Year 9 students. The papers in Checkpoints are English Paper 1 and 2, Science Paper 1 and 2, and Maths Paper 1 and 2.

Now onto sports. After beating Manchester City and Wolves, Arsenal slumped to a 1-2 defeat to Wigan followed by a 0-0 draw with Chelsea. Last night, they drew 1-1 with Stoke. The good news for Arsenal is that the team that shocked them, Wigan, gave Newcastle an even bigger surprise with a crushing 4-0 display. So Arsenal's fate in next season's UEFA Champion's League is still in their hands. They have to win their last two matches, which are Norwich at home and West Brom away.

EARTHQUAKE!!!

RUN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
.......................................................
.......................................................

OK, so you're still on your PC, not running for your lives. Go figure.

Yesterday evening, an earthquake happened off the west coast of Banda Aceh, Indonesia, with tremors able to be felt here in Penang. The earthquake was around the magnitude region of 8.6 and it triggered memories from the 2004 Boxing Day Disaster, but unlike that day, no tsunami was triggered (Well, actually there was a tsunami, but it was about 80 centimetres high). Why such a huge earthquake but no tsunami? CLICK HERE to find out.

Now onto sports. In the Barclays Premier League on Monday, Norwich recorded a stunning 2-1 away at Tottenham, while Fulham held Chelsea 1-1. Liverpool finally won on Wednesday as they overcame Blackburn 3-2, albeit with ten men. Manchester City trashed West Brom 4-0, likewise Arsenal against Wolves with a 3-0 scoreline. The shock of the round came when Wigan deservedly edged out Manchester United 1-0.

On Sunday, the third F1 race of the season will be held at Beijing, China. Fernando Alonso currently leads the overall standings and will look to build on his win at Sepang, while the spotlight will also be on Sergio Perez after his podium finish in Malaysia.

That's all from me now, bye!

1-0 To Arsenal

Hey people! I'm in a good mood today, and I think you can guess why.

Arsenal beat Manchester City 1-0 at the Emirates to boost their bid for 3rd place, simultaneously doing Manchester United a huge favour who are currently 8 points ahead in the title race.

Arsenal deserved to win from the moment they kicked off, hitting the woodwork 3 times, before a shot from Mikel Arteta squeezed into the bottom corner for the only goal of the game.

The other Sunday match ended with Manchester United comfortably dispatching ten man QPR with a 2-0 scoreline.

April Fool's!!!

Yesterday was April Fool's guys!

I hope everyone had fun playing pranks on one another!!

Anyway, yesterday I finished a story series titled "The Demonata".

The series is really great and I really enjoyed reading it, so I recommend this series to everyone. Read and enjoy!!

Oh, and something hilarious happened in the Premier League yesterday. Liverpool's goalkeeper Pepe Reina was sent off and Liverpool had already used all 3 substitutions, so their left back Jose Enriqe had to go in goal. The Reds were comprehensively beaten 2-0 by a resilient Newcastle team.

That's all from me, bye!

Derby Defeat

Hey people.

Last night, Arsenal fell 2-1 to QPR in a tight London derby. QPR played really well and fully deserved the win.

Adel Taraabt had given QPR the lead but Theo Walcott equalised. In the second half, QPR got the winner through Samba Diakite.

The 7 match winning streak has finally come to an end but Arsenal cannot ponder on this loss to much as their next match is against... Manchester City at the Emirates!!!

It's definitely a must win game for the Gunners and I'm sure every Arsenal fan would be glad to see their team play at the Emirates where the field is smooth and even, unlike QPR's that made it really difficult for both teams.

Anyway, the season is coming to a close, so let me predict the final spots:

My prediction:

Champions: Manchester United

Champion's League spots: Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea

Europa League spots: Tottenham, Newcastle, Liverpool

Relegation spots: Wigan, Wolves, QPR

That's all from me, bye!

Sports Day Recap

Hey guys!

If you didn't know, yesterday my school had its annual Sports Day. I was in Red house, which by the way has gotten 2nd place two years in a row, losing out on both occasions to our arch enemy, Blue house. This year, we were determined to win.

I took part in the Kickball and Sockball competition. OK, you probably have no idea what's Kickball and Sockball. Kickball is basically a cross between football and baseball. The 'pitcher' throws a ball and the 'batter' kicks the ball and then runs bases. The objective is to get the most home runs.

Sockball is basically Netball, but the ball is actually a tennis ball wrapped in a sock. You can't move when you have the ball, and if you drop it, the other team takes possession. To score , you must hit a bucket with the ball. To win is to score the most.

Both sports are team sports. Anyway, Red house managed to win both of those sports, and I later found out our Dodgeball team won as well. But we lost in Swimming, Benchball, Netball Shooting and Volleyball.

Finally the moment came. Who would be crowned the champion? Yellow house finished 4th while Green house finished 3rd. And then, 2nd place went to... Red house!

We were once again beaten by Blue house. But at least all of us put in a lot of effort and didn't give up, so I'm happy because of that.

Now, for some more official sports.

Arsenal travel to QPR today, hoping to add to their 7 game winning streak. Hopefully they will win. Manchester United will try to avenge that shock 3-2 defeat to Blackburn at Old Trafford last December when they visit Ewood Park. Other matches are Newcastle vs Liverpool, Aston Villa vs Chelsea, Manchester City vs Sunderland and Tottenham vs Swansea.

Arteta Stars

Hey Guys!

Arsenal beat Aston Villa 3-0 on Saturday to almost certainly cement their third place status. Not bad compared to 5 months ago when the Gunners were languishing in 17th place.

Kieren Gibbs and Theo Walcott put Arsenal in a healthy position at half time before an absolutely superb free kick from Mikel Arteta was rocketed into the top corner.

That's all. Bye!

The Wrath of the Villans

Hey guys!

I know I haven't posted in a while, so let me fill you in on the matches Arsenal played:

Arsenal 2-1 Newcastle (12/03/2012)

Everton 0-1 Arsenal (21/03/12)

These two wins brought the Gunners to third place, over rivals Tottenham.

The similarity between the two matches are that both of the winning goals were scored by Thomas Vermaelen. The big Belgian is a crucial key to Arsenal's success, so it goes to show, being a defender doesn't mean you will never be the hero.

Anyway, Arsenal host Aston Villa tomorrow.

The Villans have surprised all with many good results at the Emirates Stadium. Here are a few.

March 1st 2008


Arsenal 1-1 Aston Villa


November 15th 2008


Arsenal 0-2 Aston Villa


May 15th 2011


Arsenal 1-2 Aston Villa


This just tells you that underdogs can never be underestimated.

That's all from me, bye!

Out With Pride

Hey guys.

Some football news. On Tuesday, Arsenal beat AC Milan 3-0 at the Emirates but fell 3-4 on aggregate. It was a performance worthy of a place in the quarter finals, but the Gunners just could not atone for their errors in the first leg. They will put that behind them on Monday night as they welcome Newcastle in a fight for the lucrative 4th spot in the table.

I predict a comfortable 3-1 win for the home side.

And he does it again!

Who is "he"?

C'mon, who else?

Robin van Persie bagged a brace as Arsenal sensationally came back from a goal down to beat Liverpool at Anfield.

In truth, Liverpool didn't deserve to lose, but as they say, its the goals that count.

From the first whistle, it was Liverpool attacking and they had a great chance when they were awarded a penalty after Wojciech Szczesny brought down Luis Suarez. However, the Pole made amends by saving Dirk Kuyt's penalty and then doing even better to block the rebound. Liverpool however, did take the lead. Laurent Koscielny misread a Jordan Henderson cross and sliced the ball into his own net. Arsenal equalised when Bacary Sagna whipped in a cross that was headed home by Robin van Persie. In the second half, Liverpool tried desperately to get a winner but it was the Arsenal striker who grabbed the headlines                  with a superb volley in stoppage time. The Dutchman then kissed Alex Song's right boot, it was the Cameroon midfielder who delivered the telling pass.                                           Below: Robin van Persie scores the winner.

Anyway, Manchester United play Spurs tonight.                  

That's all from me. Bye.



                                                                                                             



                                                                               

Competition Time

Hey guys!

I'm all jittery now, and I'll tell you why.

On the 24th of March, a competition will be held in Dalat International School. It's a public speaking competition and I'm representing Tenby in the Original Oratory section and the Impromptu Speech section. The Impromptu Speech is something I'm worried about. For all those who don't know, an Impromptu Speech is when you are given two topics. Your job is to pick a topic and prepare a speech about the topic in two minutes. Then you go up on stage and speak for four minutes. Scary, I know. Anyway, a few Dalat students and a teacher from Dalat came to Tenby for a workshop to prepare us for the competition. Hopefully, I'll benefit from some of the tips that were given. 

Now about an even earlier event. Guys, on the 16th of March, the school is organizing a prom. I'm finally old enough to go, but I'm under pressure because of so many choices I should make. So I'm setting up a poll for you guys to have your say. The question is: What should I do on the day of a prom?

Choices:

Go with a girl (so I'm not a loner)

Go with a group of guys (so I can actually ENJOY myself)

Don't bother going (the price to show up is a hefty RM 95.00)

And lastly (but not leastly?) is football. Arsenal trashed Tottenham 5-2 last week and tomorrow they're facing Liverpool at Anfield. I predict a 2-1 win for Arsene Wenger's men. Another big match is Tottenham vs Manchester United. I predict a stale mate 0-0 draw, a carbon copy of last season's fixture.

That's all for now. Bye!

The Derby Of All Time

No, I'm not talking about MU vs MC or Everton vs Liverpool, but...

ARSENAL VS TOTTENHAM


And that is the stand out match this weekend. Usually, Arsenal own this fixture but in recent times, the pendulum has swung towards the team in white. My prediction is 2-1 to Arsenal.

Anyway, why is it always special when Arsenal play Tottenham? Over recent seasons, the league fixtures at the Emirates have provided special moments of joy and sadness.




December 22nd, 2007


Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham

Goalless after the break, the game exploded into life when Adebayor side footed Fabregas' backheel into the bottom corner. Then, Dimitar Berbatov equalised. Manuel Almunia then saved Robbie Keane's penalty, but it wasn't him who stole the headlines. With 14 minutes to go, Emmanuel Eboue came off for Nicklas Bendtner. It was the Dane's first taste at this derby. Seconds later, the ball was in the net. Bendtner met Fabregas' corner with his first touch to score what proved to be the crucial winner.


October 29th, 2008


Arsenal 4-4 Tottenham


In this pulsating encounter, David Bently scored a volley from forty yards out that somehow beat Almunia, but Arsenal responded with Mikael Silvestre who headed in Robin van Persie's corner. 1-1 at half time, William Gallas nodded in a van Persie free kick, before Adebayor toggled the Gunners into a healthy position. Darren Bent gave Tottenham some hope but van Persie scored almost immediately after. With the score 4-2 until the 88th minute, Jermaine Jenas shot into the top corner before Aaron Lennon basked himself in glory by slotting in the equaliser at the death.



October 31, 2009


Arsenal 3-0 Tottenham


This game would be known as the "11 seconds derby". In a relatively even first half, van Persie touched home Sagna's low cross to make it 1-0. Then as Tottenham kicked off, van Persie won the ball and and passed to Fabregas, who evaded fruitless tackles to go through and score. There had been exactly 11 seconds of playing time between the first goal and the second. After the interval, the Gunners added the gloss to the scoreline after van Persie tapped in another Sagna cross.


November 20, 2010


Arsenal 2-3 Tottenham

This marked the official turning point in Tottenham's record over Arsenal. Their first win at the Emirates. Samir Nasri had gotten on the end of Fabregas' lobbed pass before getting past Huerlho Gomes and scoring from a tight angle. The match looked to be a cruise when Marouane Chamakh scored from Arshavin's cross. But in the second half, Gareth Bale pulled a goal back before Rafael van der Vaart scored from the spot. Then a late Younes Kaboul header won the match for the visitors.

BPL Results

Yay! I'm really happy today cuz' Arsenal are in the top 4! Yes, they beat Sunderland 2-1 and Chelsea lost to Everton 2-0. The Gunners are above the Blues, not by points, not by goal difference, but goals scored. Arsenal have racked up 48 goals all season in the league compared to Chelsea's 44. Newcastle meanwhile lost 5-0 to Spurs. Another big change in the table saw Manchester United go top of the pile after ousting Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford. Manchester City can go back top if they get a result at Aston Villa tonight.

That's all from football this time around. See you next time.

Tonight

There are plenty of awesome matches tonight, like the red hot clash between Manchester United and Liverpool, and the Gunners take on in form Sunderland. I predict a 2-1 win for the Red Devils while I think Arsenal will prevail 1-0.

Thrilling draw

Hey guys!

Yesterday I watched the match between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

And the result was:

CHELSEA 3-3 MANCHESTER UNITED


A Jonny Evans own goal gave Chelsea an undeserved lead in the first half, and 54 seconds into the second half, Juan Mata slammed in Chelsea's second. Mata then whipped in a free kick that David Luiz headed onto Rio Ferdinand and flew into the top corner. However, you can never write Manchester United off until the match is over, even if you're 3-0 up at home. Patrice Evra was then fouled by Daniel Sturridge in the penalty box. Sturridge was by far Chelsea's best player in this match, but that mistake cost them dearly. Wayne Rooney stepped up to fire the spot kick into the top corner. Then, Branislav Ivanovic slid in but mistimed his tackle on Danny Welbeck, resulting in another penalty. This time, Rooney chose the other way to give his team hope. Then in the 84th minute, substitute Javier Hernandez headed in Ryan Giggs' cross from close range. What a comeback.

In Seventh Heaven

Hey guys!

Last night, Arsenal demolished Blackburn 7-1. To be honest, I had my worries as Blackburn are unpredictable away from home, managing a draw at Anfield and a victory at Old Trafford. But all went to plan. Well, almost all. Within two minutes, the Gunners were in front. Francis Coquelin, who was given the nod at right back ahead of Bacary Sagna, put Theo Walcott skipping to the byline, whose cut back was tapped in by Robin van Persie. However, the team from Lancashire would manage to level. Laurent Koscielny hauled down Blackburn's Modeste, and from the resulting free kick Morten Gamst Pedersen managed to squeeze a shot into the top corner despite Wojciech Szczesny getting a hand to it. It was unlucky stuff, but they were ahead once again. Alex Song's wonderful pass found Walcott, and it was the same route as the first goal. Walcott's cut back and van Persie tucked home. Then it got even better for the home team. Tomas Rosicky was fouled but the referee played advantage, allowing van Persie to play in Alex Oxlade Chamberlain who rounded Paul Robinson and tapped into an empty net for his first ever Premier League goal. Minutes later, disaster for Blackburn. Mission improbable became mission impossible as Gael Givet was sent off for an ugly lunge on van Persie.

The second half was more of the same, and before too long, Arsenal had scored. As van Persie's corner was cleared, Koscielny set it up perfectly for Mikel Arteta who drove the ball into the bottom corner. You would get the feeling Blackburn were being torn apart. More goals were inevitable. Rosicky played a superb raking pass to Walcott. The winger stormed into the area and found Chamberlain, who used the first touch to control, the second to find the bottom corner. He was superb in the match, but the Man of The Match award went to van Persie. The ever impressive Coquelin used a bit of trickery to get past the full back, his low cross was met by the Dutchman who bombed the ball high into the net. Hat trick mission completed. Wenger made a double substitution, taking off Chamberlain and Koscielny, and bringing on Thierry Henry and Bacary Sagna. Then Alex Song was withdrawn in place of Yossi Benayoun. A seventh finally came. Henry robbed the ball from Grant Hanley, and teed van Persie for the shot. The Dutchman was about to pull the trigger, then unselfishly squared it back for Henry, whose shot took a lucky deflection before ending up in the net. It was job done for the Gunners. Here was Arsenal's team in full:

13 Wojciech Szczesny
39 Francis Coquelin
4 Per Mertesacker
6 Laurent Koscielny
5 Thomas Vermaelen
8 Mikel Arteta
17 Alex Song
7 Tomas Rosicky
14 Theo Walcott
15 Alex Oxlade Chamberlain
10 Robin van Persie

Substitutes:

21 Lukasz Fabianski
3 Bacary Sagna (came on for Koscielny)
16 Aaron Ramsey
23 Andrey Arshavin
30 Yossi Benayoun (came on for Song)
9 Ju Young Park
12 Thierry Henry (came on for Chamberlain)

Stalemate

Hey guys, Arsenal drew 0-0 Bolton at the Reebok Stadium. They played quite well but failed to convert their chances. Robin van Persie hit the post and the crossbar, just emphasizing how close Arsenal were to winning. Bolton had their chances as well.

Movie Making

Yes, I'm currently engaged in a movie project. It's called "We're Lost?!".

We're currently filming it, but it'll soon be ready.

See ya next time.

CNY FA CUP V2.0

I know I took too long to post this, but Arsenal managed to stage a superb fightback against Aston Villa. The Gunners were 0-2 down at half time, but they picked themselves up and won 3-2, thanks to a brace from Robin van Persie and one goal from Theo Walcott.
The other match was Sunderland 1-1 Middlesborough.

Now, some recent results:
BPL 31/01/2012:
MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 STOKE
WOLVES 0-3 LIVERPOOL
SWANSEA 1-1 CHELSEA
EVERTON 1-0 MANCHESTER CITY

And Arsenal travel to Bolton tonight. I predict a scrappy 2-1 win for Arsenal.

Another topic: Valentine's Day

Yes, Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

Send all your love to your loved ones, and you know, if you have special someone.

That's all for this post, with LOTS of love, goodbye!

CNY FA CUP

Yesterday, the FA Cup commenced. It was the 4th round and there are two matches I looked forward to. They were:
QPR vs Chelsea
Liverpool vs Man Utd

Chelsea won 1-0 thanks to Juan Mata's penalty in the second half. To be honest, the score should have been more than 1-0 because Chelsea dominated. QPR had only one shot on target, and that came on the 91st minute.

And Liverpool beat Man Utd 2-1. Daniel Agger opened the scoring after another horror show by recently dropped goalkeeper David De Gea. In recent matches, Sir Alex Ferguson has picked Anders Lindegaard over De Gea and in that goal you can see why. But Man Utd equalised. Bad defending by Liverpool, Rafael managed to get in a low cross and Park Ji Sung slammed the ball into the net. But two minutes from time, disaster for the away side. Patrice Evra, who was booed throughout the match, fell asleep and Dirk Kuyt pounced on to knock the Red Devils out of the cup. Looks like Manchester now will no longer be involved in the FA Cup this season.

That's all, until the next post, bye!

Long Time

So I realize I haven't posted in a long time. That's because I was in India.

Anyway, Arsenal fell 1-2 to Manchester United. I don't want to get into details, but Alex Oxlade Chamberlain was excellent for Arsenal, as was Antonio Valencia for Man Utd. If I had to pick who was the best player, it would have to be Valencia (one goal and one assist).

Anyway, today features a very mouth watering clash between Liverpool and Manchester United. No secrets, I expect a comfortable 3-1 win for the Red Devils, even if the match is at Anfield. Arsenal host Aston Villa tomorrow, my prediction is 2-0 to the Gunners.

Bye!

FASHION SHOW

Hey guys!
I'm participating in a fashion show in my school for Chinese New Year next month.


Ok, before you have any weird thoughts about me, let me give you two good reasons why I decided to sign up:


1) Me and a bunch of my friends figured that joining the fashion show would be a good experience.


2) I can't wait to wear my Arsenal jersey with pride (Remember, the theme is red!!!)


Speaking of Arsenal, they are playing Manchester United this Saturday at the Emirates Stadium. I know Arsenal are not in their best form currently but with Thierry Henry bound to feature, I'm sure the Gunners have what it takes to upstage the Red Devils.


See ya next time!!

Return of the King

HE IS BACK!!! HE IS BACK!!!


I'm talking about Arsenal's all time leading goalscorer, Thierry Henry, who joined Arsenal on a 2 month loan, meaning he might play in key matches such as against Manchester United and Tottenham, as Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh represent their countries in the African Cup Of Nations. Anyway, Henry marked his second debut for Arsenal with... a goal, obviously. A brilliant pass from Alex Song found Henry in space, who produced a trademark finish into the bottom corner, one Arsenal fans were used to seeing back in his glory days. Hmmm, I wonder if Arsene Wenger would partner RVP with Henry up front? Awesome.


Oh, another brilliant FA Cup result?


MAN CITY 2-3 MAN UTD


Yup, Manchester United produced a clinical performance at the Etihad Stadium to clinch an amazing win and knock out the holders. First, Rooney scored with a header. Then, Kompany, Manchester City's best defender, got sent off for a two footed tackle on Nani. Welbeck made it 2-0, then a third was added by Rooney. But Kolarov and Aguero at least restored some pride. Manchester City probably did not deserve to lose, but you have to respect Manchester United's resilience. 


So bye!

My Birthday

So today I turned 14, nothing much happened. I got an awesome gift from my parents, an Arsenal T-shirt. My mom's friend  is going to give me RM50 to buy any book I want. Anyway...

Newcastle United beat Manchester United 3-0!!!


Demba Ba scored the opening goal with a volley in the first half. Earlier, Rio Ferdinand had brought down Demba Ba in the penalty box but the referee Howard Webb did not give Newcastle a spot kick. Early in the second half, Yohan Cabaye scored a beautiful free kick, right into the top corner via the crossbar. Anders Lindegaard, who played instead of David De Gea as United's goalkeeper, managed to get a finger to the ball but could do nothing. The game was completed with a bizzare own goal by Phil Jones.

In the other match, Bolton beat Everton 2-1. You might not believe me, but you can even check the Internet, Tim Howard, Everton's GOALKEEPER, actually SCORED THE OPENING GOAL. David Ngog and Gary Cahill completed Bolton's comeback.

STILL, this means Manchester United have lost both their last match of 2011 and the first match of 2012.
