Liverpool .....
I had just finished reviewing my admission and was about to leave the hospital before I realised that I might as well get the tandoori from the shop by the hospital rather than having to stop for it halfway.
The excitement was definitely building for the big match this evening and I must say, I can't wait to hear how loud the boo would be every time Luis "everyone in the team call him a Negro" Suarez gets the ball. One hope he gets a kick or two on his big behind as well for good measure.
Here's hoping for a good game, and a good tandoori!
Away at Arsenal
Personally, I was rather tired last night and the fact that Balotelli slotted in late minute penalty for Manchester City destroyed my mood further. As far as I was concerned, he should have been sent off for his kick on Parker. I am sure however that he would be receiving a ban soon when the FA had a look at the TV replays. I would not be surprised if Lescott also receive a ban for his elbow on Kaboul.
Anyhow, United played well against Arsenal and at the end of the day, was good value for their 2-1 win. I was glad to see that Wenger, for some reason decided to bring off Oxlade-Chamberlain after their equalizer spite him setting up the goal and other chances, and being Arsenal most effective attacking player. That boy can play!
Van Persie took his goal really well and I was hoping that Jones would recover soon from his ankle turn. It looked nasty. As for the winner, Wellbeck finished up a great team effort, and a very good assist from Valencia again. Apart from that, I thought Wellbeck was a waste of space.
Three points away from home is always welcomed. Next week would be the fourth round FA Cup tie against Liverpool. Should be another cracker!
Return of Premiership
The Premiership was back on again tonight and United played Bolton at home. It was a frustrating first half with United getting the lion share of possession. Unfortunately the final ball was missing. Really frustrating. And at the final minute of the half, on step Uncle Scholsey to a loose ball and United was one nil up.
Puan Anita prepared a nice "Milo Ais" for half time. It was almost finish before the second half start. The game was getting tighter and I was almost convinced that Danny Wellbeck was a waste of space. I want Berbatov! And by the way,that Ngog really know how to dive. Badly.
Pacepalm
Rushing back from the hospital, I missed the handshake that never was. Evra offered a handshake. Suarez pretended that Evra did not exist - by the way, Evra is black, of course he does not exist. Such a disgrace. No place for that in football.
The scene in the end - the Evra celebration - was also something which we could also do without. After all, the points were already been won, and made. We won on the day. And Evra could have shown a bit more class but toning down the celebration a wee bit. But in the grand scheme of things, he might have though, "why not?".
There was no doubt that United deserved the win. We played better and we were hungrier. The Suarez goal was there to add a bit of spice, but nothing more. Rooney certainly had taken his goals well.
We are top of the league for at least another 24 hours. Citeh would be playing tomorrow. Hopefully I would be able to catch the game tomorrow at the Doctor's Lounge. I would be on call tomorrow.
Both Suarez and Dalglish had since issued apology on their conduct. Can't really make out what to make of it ....
