Things You Never Knew...

Apparently, yesterday marked the founding of the Arsenal Supporter's Club, Singapore branch. Or whatever they call it, I forget. Anyway, to mark the occasion, they had a party yesterday evening, coinciding with Arsenal's match against Liverpool at Anfield. Sounds like they had a huge blast, with Glen Ong (a notable Arsenal fan) running the show, contests and goodness knows what else. Except for the slight problem of the final scoreline.


Oh, they also had a 'predict the score' competition. Guess no one at that particular party won, huh. Or even came close. I wonder what the prize was.

WHYYYY ARSENAL. WHYYYYYY. To lose 1-0 or 2-0 is okay. (Hey, even Chelsea lost at Anfield this season) But 4-1! And, to a Peter Crouch hat-trick to boot!

=======================================

For 25 glorious minutes (approximately the amount of time Blackburn led at Old Trafford.) I harbored a hope in me I though long dead. Maybe ManU might slip up after all. Maybe Chelsea still have an outside shot at taking the Premiership.

Then again, it was not to be :( As wave after wave of ManU attacks crashed on the rock that was the Blackburn attacks, it slowly began to become painfully obvious that it was a question of when, and not if, that rock would be breached.

And inevitably, it breached. Not just cracked, mind you, but more like annihilated. Ouch.

=======================================

It's often said that the mark of Champions is the ability to win matches you don't deserve to win. To squeeze three points out of a match that held zero, or at the most one. Well, for what it's worth, Chelsea managed that yesterday, though one suspects that it's the case of too little, too late.
