The Final

I have a couple of admissions and transfer waiting for beds, and while waiting, it was the FA Cup Final on the TV. Chelsea was playing Liverpool. And I had the whole of the Doctor's Lounge to myself, with its big 60 inch TV.

Eight years ago, the final was played between Manchester United and Millwall. Puan Anita was in labour for Idlan then, but as she was on epidural, she was actually watching the match with me in the labour ward. Surreal but through. Idlan held on overnight, when finally, Anita had to have a Caesarean.

Since then, I had always remembered the fact everytime the FA Cup Dinal was being played. I had to watch it by myself this year however. And compared to 8 years ago, the match was played a couple of weeks earlier than usual.

Fair Scoreline

I managed to catch the last few minutes of the earlier Arsenal-Norwich game and it was a good one. It was end-to-end, with can Persie scoring a couple of late goals to bring the Arsenal up 3-2, only to see the lead cancelled out by a late goal. The 3 all score line was a fair one even though Arsene Wenger would have thought otherwise.

So, next would be the FA Cup Final. But I would need to get the admissions sorted out first.

Not According to Plan

We were crushing and I thought the three points were in the bag. But Everton had other ideas and we panicked. We were dismantled and taken apart defensively, and that was mighty disappointing.

It was a proper football game and Everton, galvanised by Philip Neville put up a great fight. And that Felliani was useful as well. Ferdinand definitely struggled to cope with him aerially.

All is not lost though. We have to go to Citeh and beat them at their own turf. Well, that is what we had to do now ..... Bring on next Monday. I'll be watching - since the next day would be a Public Holiday of course .....

Big Kick-off

Big game tonight. United playing Everton at home. Not spoken to my true blue friend Adri as yet. A lot at stake. More for us than Everton with Man Citeh kicking off later tonight away to Wolves. A must win game this.

As usual, went out to get tandoori and naan bread for everybody. Kicking off in an hour and a bit ..... Will blog later after the match!

Back to Football

I decided to start my afternoon rounds slightly earlier, to make time for the take-out and football. I had a quick nap an woke up with a banging headache. Not amusing.

Anita went to do a bit I groceries next door at Wangsa Walk while I waited for the order. Tandoori and mee ladna as usual. Man United would be playing Wolves this evening, and after the disappointment of Bilbao, was expected to crush the opposition. So, hopefully we could get ourself sorted out on the field. We couldn't afford any more slip up.
