The last action that decided EVERYTHING.


And the events that led up to this climatic moment:


Superb interchange between Brown and Scholes at the right touch line, before Brown produced the telling cross onto Ronaldo's head. With this, Ronaldo has scored against every single English team in BPL.
1-0 to Manchester United.

Rooney delivers a fimba 40 yard ball from the half way line to Ronaldo, who crosses to Tevez's head. Cech blocks it, and blocks Carrick's follow up shot. No pictures =(

Rooney shoots a low stinger across the box to Tevez, who misses it in front of goal. D= D=



Farking tyco bastard. TWO, not one, TWO deflections from a lame Essien shot into his path. Lamps could do no wrong.
1-1 right at the death of half-time.




Drogba has stayed invisible throughout the whole match until he decided to snap shoot, sending it crashing against VDS' left hand post.




Then Lampard strikes against the bar. Now we're even, bitch.
...Not really.




The Drog gets sent off for slapping Vidic's face. Stupidity at best? The 2nd player to get sent off in a CL Final.

This one is blurry to me. Giggs gets on the end of a Ronaldo cross I think, but he opts to slice instead of slot, resulting in Captain Courageous clearing it off the Chelski line.

Onwards to Penalty Shootout.

Ron is the 3rd Manchester United player stepping up to take his shot...


AND HE MISSES, JUST LIKE cjqsg SAID HE WOULD. ZOMFG. LOOKS LIKE CHELSEA ARE GOING TO WIN IT.


JT steps up to take the last kick. If it goes in, Chelsea are the champions.
...But he falls down on his ass as the ball hits the post and goes out.
:D :D :D

And the moment THIS happened, me, yzq and yongzi went crazy.

25 mins Man Utd 3-0 West Ham

:D :D :D

Edit: FARK. 30th min West Ham scored 1.

Following the flurry of posts that seems like almost everyone in the anim* blogosphere, I only offer some short sweet words for CLANNAD episode 18.

Thanks KyoAni. You just kllled off Kyou x Tomoya and Tomoyo x Tomoya in one single blow.

BOTH OF U HAF NO CHANCE LEFT, AND THAT IS WHY I AMSH SAD.

Seeing Kyou and Ryou cry like leaking hosepipes did not help.
Shock


Denial


Grief aka Pls Pls Kill Me Nao




Nothing intellectual. I may decide to eventually pen down thought-provoking detailed analytical essays some other time, but only if I can break down the inertia of laziness.

Oh and if real life was like Fifa 08, Anderson would have scored a boat load of goals by now. 3 Be-A-Pro matches, and I've scored 5 times with Anderson, including long range shots. Which is not easy to pull of with Fifa 08's new "realism". BTW dun try to compare PC with PS3, it's so much different.

FA Cup 5th Round

Half Time
Manchester United 3
Arsenal 0

And there's still more to come.
...I don't think Arsenal will pull a Liverpool. Oh and speaking of which, Liverpool lost to Barnsley. Lose face sia.

Full Time
Manchester United 4
Arsenal 0

This match is wtf. Even Eat Shit player1 aka Fletcher can score twice. Anderson still haven't score.

I slept earlier yesterday.

Today I woke up to find this Ronaldo goal.


Seriously.
WHAT THE FOUR-LETTER-F-WORD.

ALL BECAUSE I SAID SOMETHING WRONG.

When Man Utd got a penalty kick against West Ham and Ronaldo stepped up to take the kick, I had to open my big mouth and say to Hang.

lol
maybe ronaldo will miss
-----------------------------------------------------

Guess what happens?

And in the end, West Ham wins 2-1.
Now I can only sleep if Everton at home beats Arsenal. Which they did actually, for the previous 2 seasons.



Yes yes I haven't blogged for some time and the first thing I talk about is soccer again. Haiz. I've been too lazy to blog even thou ideas have been popping into my head.

Also, I " --Is spamming Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings on DS-- ".

LIVERPOOL VS MANCHESTER UNITED
live @ Anfield, Theatre of shit.

For 40 mins, we had Liverpool dominance. 9 shots, 2 on target. Man Utd had 1 shot, 1 on target.

42min: Giggs plays a low corner from the right that completely fools everyone, and Rooney charges up to blast a shot towards goal. It goes past Reina, but looks like it would have been blocked by Benayoun. Instead Tevez lifts the ball into the roof. \

Anfield falls silent.
The goal looked like it came from the training ground.

It is now half-time. We interview some well-known Man Utd enthusiasts about their feelings.

We will return, after commercials.

What a 2nd half. Man Utd comes close to scoring again, only if Rooney hadn't missed horribly. Nothing else of note, except for Gerrard's freekick which went just over the bar, at the 89th min.

Manchester United wins 1-0.

What. the. flying. @#$%!?

RIGHT at the start of the match, LiveFooty screws up! After refreshing frantically, it appeared that the server overloaded -_-
Ok right. So after a few (read: PLENTIFUL) refreshes, I managed to get in and load TVUPlayer. Sopcast failed again as usual.

All this lasted like 10 minutes.
And in the space of 6 mins Man Utd scored and conceded a goal. WTF.

...There goes another clean sheet.
Maybe they should just play Kuszczak and stick Van der Sar onto the bench?!?

EDIT:
32nd minute, ROONEY!!! Nice gift by Downing.

EDIT2:
55th minute. WTF THAT WAS A BLOODY MESMERIZING MOVE  BY MAN UTD. Finished off by TEVEZ!! That entire flowing attack could make someone orgasm. Hard.

EDIT3:
Poor Boro. Counterattack releases Rooney and as he surges forward he slips the ball to Tevez. Tevez checks, and tries to curl past Schwarzer. The ball hits defender (Taylor's) arm, bounces once very high, and then right into the goal past a bewildered Schwarzer. Comical sums it up.

Hey.

I didn't get to watch any of all, due to all the video players acting up -_-
but Man Utd won 4-1. Yay.
I was somewhat ecstatic when I saw Barca lose 3-1 to Villareal.
But then I looked one line down and saw Real Madrid lost as well -_-

What the frak? Okay this is not a good day.

First LiveFooty doesn't work, as me, Hang and TYZ have tried to our eternal frustration. As of my typing, LiveFooty's page doesn't seem to be loading, and before that, when it was working (at 7.35 WTF, 5 mins before match) the prescribed channel was not working. WTF.

Then in the space of 30 mins, Vidic, AND THEN O'Shea, are injured! They had to be subbed off! WTF 2!

I wonder if there'll be more WTF coming.

EDIT: LOLX. Really got more WTF coming. The number of goals Man Utd scored in this match = Number of goals they scored over 4 games. WTF 3!


Anyway, today, I went on hot date with TJX to Funan, the IT MALL! Wow look at that IT! Now this IT! So many ITs! IT is TRENDY!
uh Anyway, we played Halo 3 for a few hours at GameScore, before I bought my games Heavenly Sword and Luminous Arc and received Lifetime membership from accumulating $400 of purchases in the space of 1 year.

I AM NOW SUPREME DICTATOR OF THE UNIVERSE!

1) Went to Saturday Lorwyn Pre-release. 1-3, 1-3 results. Is not very happy. Untyco as usual. Only opened Jace (Blue Planeswalker) as something worthwhile, unlike ALFRED GOH. Open two FOIL Thoughtseize. GAY. A non-foil was worth around $15 the last I heard. The price should have increased. I think that's the most ex card in this set right...?

2) Man Utd won 1-0. Lame.

3) I scored from a corner in Fifa 07 with Beckham. And used Messi to do a Maradona, ran from halfway line and scored a goal. I only saved the former (as replay).

4) Gurren Lagann has officially ended. GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR. Say that with me.
So now, there's a GAR-shaped hole somewhere in me. I think. We need moar anime like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

5) OCTOBER. That means all the new anime are starting. Which brings us to point 6. It also means A levels at end of month. OH NOES.

6) First was AIR. Then it was KANON. Now, another Key(game prod) and KyoAni(anime prod) combo is here. It's CLANNAD. And this is the kind of song that gives me a that kind of tingly floaty wonderful feeling.

As usual, the quality looks awesome. Since it's KyoAni.

7) Rental Magica. The song is nice. So does the animation look.

8) This video apparently contains 2007 Fall New Anime Trailers. I don't know cause my connection is being a female dog and loading it slowly. Waiting to watch. Watched abit. Yes it starts with CLANNAD. Yes it shows a girl laughing and then her friend sticking a straw in a packet drink up her nose. Crazy.

No I don't think that warranted a Red Card, Yellow at best. But whatever.

Right on the stroke of half time,

CARLOS.

TEVEZ!!

And seriously? 9 Man Utd corners to 1 miserable Chelsea corner? Roflcopter

2nd half
It's karma wah lau.
Don't know what Joe Fucking Cole was thinking, but you can't expect less than red card for that kind of lunge. He's lucky he only gets a yellow card.

Saha wins a penalty, takes it, and scores!
Man Utd finally win by more than 1 goal. w00t

-----------------------------------------------

Carrick has been t3h g3y all the game. His passes are really laser guided.
Also, I feel sorry for people like John Terry. I hope he leaves Chelsea and joins Man Utd. Cos he's admitted before he supported Man Utd when young.

I'M BEING DIRECT IN MY TITLE. WHAT THE HELL ZAA WORLD IS GOING TO END.
-stops hystericating-

BECAUSE ZAA WORLD IS NOT ENUFF. AND MY NAME IS BOND. JA-
-gets bonded-

Seriously... there's still 1 hour left. I dunno what to do. AND BEFORE ANYONE ASK ME TO MUG, MY PRELIMS HAF ENDED. I laugh at those that still have.. er... Chem Mcq. Yea, like that's anything worth laughing at.

More coming later. DUH.

EDIT1: Ok that 1 hour left has gone right. It's 1am now. Let's start the match!!! Oh wait I need to finish my instant noodles first. Bloody hungry. And they're talking about some random stuff on choosing away games and remote controls and insta-switching between games, but that only applies for people actually legitimately watching on TV. Ha.ha.

EDIT2: RIGHT so I got completely faked by The Newpaper's timing. It stated 1am. But apparently the match is like 2.30am. Guess I'll play PS2 for abit.

EDIT3: 2.47am, the match starts.

EDIT4: 27th minute, BRILLIANT save from Van der Sar to stop a curling dipping shot from Liedson

EDIT5: 31st minute, punt from Brown sees Rooney break foward on the right. His squared pass finds Nani but Nani could only tamely shoot wide.

1st half's over. Sporting had been the more adventurous of the two sides, with more shots on goal, including the one that almost went in. Man Utd's passing in the final third is DAMN sloppy. For some reason the lack of a target man is really showing. Rooney hasn't touched the ball alot. The couple of times he did, he was offside. It's very very evident that Man Utd haven't moved out of first gear. Scholes and Carrick's trapping, movement and passing are way off ==''

EDIT6: 61st minute, RONALDO SCORES! Flowing move starts with Ronaldo flicking the ball to Carrick, and the ball is passed from left to right. Brown has the ball on the right wing and crosses it in. Ronaldo runs into the penalty area and scores with a diving header.

EDIT7: 70th minute, Ronaldo burns 4 players and accelerates down the right wing, before squaring a ball to Nani. Nani's shot comfortably parried away by Sporting keeper.
72nd minute, Saha comes on for Rooney.

EDIT8: 75th minute, Anderson on for Giggs. Ferdinand becomes captain. Giggs wasn't on form during the game, and was relatively quiet. AND SO ARE ALOT OF OTHER PLAYERS. =(
77th minute, ZOMG VAN DER SAR WITH ANOTHER INSPIRED SAVE. Tonel heads toward the goal when a cross comes in, and Van der Sar gets a firm palm to it to tip it away.

EDIT9: 85th minute, Ronaldo off for Carlos Tevez. Potshots taken by both teams, with no results.

END OF MATCH.
MANCHESTER UNITED 1
SPORTING LISBON 0

At least today was an entertaining, if scrappy, 1-0 win. But WTF. This is the fourth consecutive 1-0 win. Man Utd need to find that attacking X-Factor FAST. Like, this weekend, against Chelsea.

83rd minute:
And Manchester United score the EXACT SAME WAY as they did against Sunderland, now against Everton.
Nani takes the corner, and Vidic heads it in!
1-0

88th minute:
Anichebe almost scores from a McFadden rebound, except some defender(Ferdinand or Brown, they're both brown) THROWS HIS BODY AT THE BALL. Blocked. Yobo shoots it wide.


Hmm there's no doubt that Tevez cannot play as the lone striker, he is absolutely ineffective!! I feel sorry for him. Why did Ferguson NOT bring Saha in when Silvest went down injured? Oh mysteries. He brings on Nani, AND THEN subs Nani off for Pique in 85th minute. Oh mysteries indeed.

My video player decides to fail spectacularly at the last 30 seconds, when Everton were bombing forward. Well seems like nothing happened.

Manchester United wins 1-0 again. Lame. xD

w00t, Man Utd won. Courtesy of our forgotten man, Louis Saha. Injured for so long, he finally came back to save us 3 points.
(Oh and Liverpool thumped 6 past Derby. TORRES. TORRES. He is so impressive)

Apparently my comp also likes to hang when I'm playing SopCast/ any web video player. So I can't do commentaries while the match is being played =(
BUT for some funny reason my comp doesn't hang when I play videos in full screen mode. Wth is going on? Also I'm not very sure if it's the fan on my graphics card or the main fan on the CPU that's not working. I did place my hand behind the CPU and felt air being blown out, but it was VERY HOT air.

"Processor fan not detected" greets me whenever I start up my comp.
...So which isit?

OH MY GOD.

Manchester Utd have been drawn in the same group as...

ROMA

for the Champions League Group Stages.

Seems like some people (e.g. Toottis) would be looking for revenge after a certain -ahem- 7-1 drubbing.

Champions League Group F:
Manchester United
Roma
Sporting Lisbon (Nice, they'd be looking for revenge after we grabbed 2 of their star wingers xD)
Dynamo Kiev (...)

For once my title is direct.
And I'm very sad. When I saw this on Soccernet's front page.

Stupid knee problem, our Baby-faced Assassin has given up on playing because of that recurring problem. He will always remain one of Manchester United's heroes, especially after that last-gasp goal against Bayern Munich to win our 1999 Champions League title.

And even worse, Man Utd now only have 3 experienced strikers left, Rooney, Saha and Tevez. And only one is not injured.

I took a couple of pictures of the sky while on my way home from my cousin's birthday today. It just caught my eye with the sun's rays reflecting off the clouds. Breath-taking. The sad thing is, my 2 megapix camera DOES NO JUSTICE. sigh. So here they are. I experimented with the different settings in my cam, like brightness level and resolution. Oh yes, you need to click the pictures if you want to see it at its original resolution. Livejournal's scrapbook automatically reduces the pictures to... 320x200 or something.



The first one is one of the better ones.

.














The previous few had been done at lowest brightness level.




Dancing palm? trees xD


Fiery spectrum of the setting sun.


The shaking of the car caused this. And it looks like the bloody horizon is on fire.




I saved the best for the last? Haha.

OH and Dong Fangzhuo is finally named on the subs bench for Man Utd. LIKE OMG. And I am also laughing like mad due to Man Utd's keeper jersey. It's FREAKING BLUE. And a funny dark blue at that.

EDIT1: WTH FUCK TOTTENHAM. TWO players jumped at Nani with their boots out. FK.

Lady Luck, thou hast truly deserted us.

First half of Manchester derby, Man Utd had 6 shots, 4 on goal, while Man City had 3 shots, 2 on goal. YET Man City is the one with the goal, with a deflected Deiberson Giovanni shot.


Why hast thou forsaken us? Second half remix

LOL. Possession Percentage:

Man Utd 71%
Man City 29%

BUT MAN U STILL CANNOT GET A GOAL. Tevez almost got one in the 60th minute. ARGH.

Why hast thou forsaken us? Symphony Beat Ending

I dun see how we can win easily for the next two games(read Sunderland and Spurs), with Ronaldo out and the substitute striker being one of relative unknown (I've only seen Campbell play in youth games). What happened to Dong Fangzhuo??!?!? Nani is like Ronaldo 2 years ago, which means quite useless (maybe). I think Fergie should just throw in Anderson RIGHT NAO. From what I saw, it seems like there's not much understanding between the midfielders currently. Hargreaves seems to keep running into Scholes, Giggs and Nani. And wtf is Giggs doing? He keeps drifting INWARDS.

Community Shield curse is coming true sooner than expected... -_- Then again I didn't think much of it since Man Utd were the first team (and still currently the only team I think) to win C. Shield and the League title in the same year...
