Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal

Last night, Liverpool met ARSENAL at Anfield.

Last night, ARSHAVIN put four goals past Reina.

Last night, it ended in a draw.

I suspect there was a conspiracy last night.

Liverpool was undefeated at home so far this season. ARSENAL had another injury rush where everyone who can get injured got injured. ARSENAL has been unbeaten for 18 Premiership games thus far but just crashed out of the FA Cup against Chelsea. On paper, ARSENAL was going to get ripped apart and torn to shreds. In reality, Liverpool dominated but it ended in a draw. Thrice, ARSENAL led, Thrice Liverpool equalised. In the end, we did Manchester a favour.

There has been rumours flying that WENGER will throw the match last night to prevent Manchester from getting the title. At times, that seemed true. If anyone can remember the jiggle he did when we scored against Villarreal, it was missing last night. He didnt seem as happy for us to score. The formation was terrible. FABREGAS played the role of supporting striker when he plays best deep in the midfield, threading passes and controlling the tempo of the game. ARSHAVIN played on the left while his natural role was that of a supporting striker. NASRI was playing on the right when his natural role was on the left. SILVESTRE had a terrible game last night. SILVESTRE,with his Manchester look, kept making mistakes and conceeding free kicks. He loved passing back to FABIANSKI and seemed like he was just waiting for FABIANSKI to make a mistake. Kudos to FABIANSKI though, he had a good game. He managed to put the FA Cup nightmare behind him and kept us in the game when we could have been 8 or 9 goals down. SONG had a good game too. WENGER should have played ARSHAVIN as supporting striker, FABREGAS back at his natural midfield role, NASRI on the left, started WALCOTT on the right, benched SILVESTRE, got SONG to partner TOURE in the centre of defence, started EBOUE instead of SAGNA who seemed to be still suffering from his virus. IF WENGER did all that, we could have won the game. The one of the few times where BENDTNER had excellent finishing, his goal was wrongly ruled out for offside. Even the linesman is part of the conspiracy. Well, this IS football.

Now for something positive. It has been quite a while since an ARSENAL player scored four times against Liverpool at Anfield. Please do not mention Baptista. That was a Carling Cup game which nobody took seriously. Last night was a Premiership game which had quite a bit on the line. ARSHAVIN is class. When he first started playing for ARSENAL, he lacked match fitness. He was out of match practice for quite a while. I felt that the last goal he scored in injury time last night was his best of the lot. He was on pace with a fresh WALCOTT,who just came on not too long ago. He matched stride for stride to receive the pass which led to his final goal. At that point of time, he had already been playing for 90 minutes and was still capable of such speed! Now, he's still asking for time to settle in. I can't imagine how he would be like when he's fully settled in. Four chances last night led to four goals, two with his left feet and two with his right. What more can a fan ask for? The future looks not so bleak after all.

ARSHAVIN scores and Reina is just stunned.
ARSHAVIN celebrates his hat-trick.
I always felt that his way of celebrating goals was quite taunting. After his performance last night, I would love seeing him do this many many times every match. With performances like that, he jolly well can celebrate any way he wants to!

Wisdom Toothache

Does this mean I have finally come of age and become a wiser person?

Or does this mean I am a fool for not getting rid of it for free when I was still in the army?

I guess its the latter. Of all the times it has to strike me, it has to be now. While I'm supposed to be the good kid who spends all his time studying, this irritating irriatant has to irritate me. The wisdom tooth is so wise that it is starting to grow into my normal healthy tooth, causing pain and discomfort to its not so wise owner.

Oh mighty Tooth Fairy, grant me the powers to ride through this journey of unbearable toothache and suffering!

My phone bill came. I incurred over 60bucks worth of data usage. I use my phone to go online not that often, usually when I'm on the go and do not have access to WIFI. I barely downloaded 6mb worth of stuff. At 1.07cents/kilobyte, this is one of the most expensive data I have ever downloaded.

This reminds me of the conversation I had with Yihan when he got his Iphone. He's saving enough money to buy BMWs with his data plan while I'm getting a fraction of what he's getting at almost the same price. I feel ripped off. Period.

What is wrong?

What is wrong with the world of sports nowadays? Why did ARSENAL crash out of the FA Cup? Why did FERRARI not get a single point after three races? Why did ROGER FEDERER get eliminated in the MONTE CARLO MASTERS?

ARSENAL had the tie in the bag before conceeding the first goal. They could have gone on to extra time and penalties but not by FABIANSKI's choice. It was his 24th birthday and he wanted to end it early. So he did something so stupid, all the GUNNERS around the world would not know how to react to. CAN'T HE JUST STAY ON HIS BLOODY LINE?! I really felt that he had potential but after last night, apparently NOT. DIABY had a terrible game. He was giving away possession like he was Santa rushing for the Christmas deadline. I never understood why he and DENILSON was on instead of ARSHAVIN or SONG but guess i was never in a position to know. WENGER knows. I hope he gets it right for liverpool on wednesday.

FERRARI is on self destruct. KIMI has conceeded this season when we are only three races in. This is super sad. After three races, we are still on zero points. ALMOST every other team has gotten something. I hope they start designing the car for next season. It would be heart breaking if this happens again.

ROGER FEDERER went down in straight sets, seems like his revival is not coming back anytime soon.

This is a real sad weekend for sports.

The doctors of House remember Lawrence Kutner.








The notes are super nice. A very nice touch from FOX.

In Loving Memory of Dr Lawrence Kutner, 1975-2009

I apologise for the spoilers this post has for all HOUSE watching fans out there. In House's 20th episode of season 5, Simple Explanation, Dr Lawrence Kutner has been killed off by the production team. This is due to Kal Penn accepting a job with the Obama administration. Be prepared for quite a sad episode and a even sadder rest of the season without one of the best doctors in House.
