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.
