Its been quite some times since i blogged during the olympic period.. ha.. ever since the beijing olympics ended it seemed a bit quiet when i was at home... i nv realli looked forward to the olympics but it was actually an interesting event for 16 days.. i especially enjoyed the artistic gymnastics of coz.. mayb coz the china usa battle there was most prominent or mayb juz coz i wasnt interested in other sports.. ha..
anyway wif the olympics gone the premier league is back.. a few changes in personnel here n there but i realli tot robbie keane leaving spurs was a pretty sad thing.. i always saw him as a MR Tottenham.. ha.. but i guess he will b happy to play at the club he supported since he was a child..
so march on into the new season.. having 3 games won in a row, i figured that it was a gd time to put my money on liverpool..i pictured robbie keane n torres partnering up front n even if the 2 of them cldnt break thru, there was still a steven gerrard to pierce from long range.. or alonso from an even longer range.. ha.. but i wasnt counting on that.. ha..
so mainly it was the 3 that i was counting on.. but yet.. the start of the signs that told me that my money was going to b lost.. was that steven gerrard wasnt even playing in the match against aston villa.. i suppose i shld first do some information checkup before i place my dollars eh... but i tot.. well.. torres n keane shld prove to b lethal enough.. despite the goals not coming from keane as yet.. n that their previous matches were scraped thru victories.. so the gd stuff doesnt juz end at steven gerrard.. at the start of the game, i realised that the numbnuts of a manager put keane on the left.. not up front.. which meant that my favourite player in liverpool at the moment wun b given the chance to perform.. not to mention that their possession was being heavily supressed n they had onli measly 30 odd possession.. wats worst was torres leaving the pitch b4 half time.. mayb my 5 dollars jinxed liverpool badly.. but seriously i nv imagined the top 4 to play so badly.. it was like a joke..
so onto the 2nd half.. great they put keane up front.. he din haf much to play.. but of coz set up a few n had a chance himself which all din come together.. but try again n again.. like how chelsea arsenal or man u wld always b doing.. but no.. liverpool was playing for a draw.. it became too obvious when keane was subbed out for benayoun.. i noe benayoun had scored a couple of goals last season n a hattrick in another competition.. but seriously.. he wasnt going to rescue the dae.. not when u take out the person who was realli the main man creating anything on the offensive.. if he had put in benayoun for someone else i wld haf continued to watch.. but when keane got taken out.. i simply switched off the tv n went to slp.. it was a boring match anyway.. this 0-0 match isnt like the bolton west brom 0-0 match.. it was entirely BORING..
to think a top 4 team played boring football.. no wonder they nv come close to winning the league. there was a tackle on keane which may haf been a penalty but i dun believe they cldnt create anything from free play.. i noe there r bad days where even the best team fail to score.. but simply put.. they were not performing at all.. at least when others fail to score, they create a dozen chances n juz cant finish it off.. although the results are the same, i seriously feel very disappointed wif liverpool.. i think liverpool will onli win games when they become 5th.. since they r very much contented wif being 4th evry season..
i chose 2 games to bet on this wkend.. but i decided to juz buy one ticket for liverpool coz it was "safer" in my opinion.. but i t turned out that it was the dumbest choice ever.. the other game i got it correct n wld haf gotten me 4.5x winning rate.. but i onli took it in my virtual account.. so my virtual account is buffed up when my real account is in negativity.. great..
mayb i shld look at arsenal.. at least they play offensive football.. after all.. they r the gunners.. not a pool of liver..
