i woke up early in the morning, just to support my team.
and what did i get? a tactically naive performance, not without heart, but without technique
to come back from 2 down was good, and crouch and becks work well together.
but to blow the israeli gift on a poor performance, is unforgivable.
McClaren has shown himself to be tactically naive at all levels, and his idea of cramming the midfield to play for a draw was crazy. Gerrard and Lampard have shown that they can't play together, and Lampard should be stuck on the bench, and Barry played next to Lampard.
The bench should have included bentley, agbonlahor, milner, walcott, ashley young etc. more kids from the U-21 should be in, seeing how they have played during the U-21 qualification, with 5 wins and 2 draws. dump the deadweight. jenas, defoe etc.
But overall, the FA has to take the main blame. appointing mcclaren, even though he was clearly not first choice was stupid. Not getting Scolari or Hiddink was a huge mistake, as can be seen here. Let's hope they don't blow it on Mourinho, the best man for the job now.

Ok, apparently only i check the LMS.
cos i was stuck with the two girls today for a Q&A session of physics today with KS.
well well...
sitting here at starbucks Holland V, after a night of catching only last 20 minutes of Champions League footie, well.
can't type properly. keep typing the wrong stuff and having to backspace a hell lot. well well....
when i first turned on the TV, i saw KIEV 1-0 MANU.
oh crap.
then i realised it was 1-4. oh well, waking up at 4 am does that to your eyes.
great last 20 mins in Rangers v Barca.
ok i wanna blog about the huge furor over repealling Section 377A.
well for the uninformed or uninitiated. That's the law that makes homosexuality in Singapore illegal.
well but i can't blog no crap now when my hands are freezing and my eyes wanna shut down.
ok so i might do it later at 0000...

i find it weird that we have so much periods in school, and we can't find a better time to have a EL test than at 4pm on a Monday afternoon.
?
Spidey-3 is worth watching, but it was kinda predictable. But good fight-scenes, decent story. yeah go catch it..
and why am i the only guy that thinks the corrupted Peter Parker is actually kinda cool? For Tobey Maguire to break out of the 'nerdy guy' role to a arrogant asshole is actually quite interesting,
this is a ramble.
i'm kinda looking forward to POTC, Fantastic 4 and Harry Potter now,
i'm physically a wreck now. mentally not yet...
damn you, the establishment. It's the only one where the stress is year-round, not only during the important periods. one after another after another, the flow never stops. there's no way to take a break, now taking a break seems unnatural. Our social life is a mess, and after years, the environment hasn't changed, and we're becoming worse and worse. life's a drag, and the only exit seems to be not much better.
not a bad alternative after all?
It's impossible to get the best of both into one. Never. You have chosen to pursue this route, than change your bloody mindset! This cannot succeed if we continue to retain so much of the old stuff. Everything has become more rigid than less, as there are so much stuff we need to follow. Creativity has been released, but only with stringent rules. Is that creativity anymore?
haha i'll be so happy to go into uni. I swear.
on a happy note...
CAMPIONE, CAMPIONE, OLE OLE OLE!!!
Yes we are the Champions!
haha kudos to Mourinho after the Arsenal match, he told the Chelsea fans to cheer the players, not him, and to keep their chin up. Champions are only really tested after failure.
However, i think that he might not be there after this season. If that happens, shame on Abrahomivic, Kenyon and all...

That was disgraceful, no other words for it.
No fire, no cut-throat offense, no answer.
but all Man U fans should take a step back and appreciate the good run in Europe, as compared to the last 3 seasons. Despite the uncharacteristic collapse in Milan, i think that United have improved in Europe, and this improvement is encouraging.
Tmr is the test day!
Physics HL, Chem HL!
haha hope i don't fail.. lol

2 May 2007, 1945 GMT: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza
Milan AC (2) vs Manchester United (3)
This game should be more absorbing that the rather stale all-England semi-final. Milan know that United's backline is, well, makeshift, and that they need to score. Although Vidic and Ferdinand may be back, expecting them to hold up against Kaka and co. (who must score) and not being 100% match-fit may be a bit risky. I would possibly play one of them (the most match-fit one) for maybe an hour, before re-assessing to see whether there is a need to send on the other one.
Much has been made of Milan's relative lack of injury problems. However, i feel that the absence of Maldini will be crucial. When he (and Gattuso, who is expected to play) is out, the Milan defence crumbled against the United onslaught. Missing Maldini must not be underestimated, and the aging Milan backline might not be able to keep out the quick and pacy United attack, led by Ronaldo and Rooney, orchestrated by Scholes and Carrick. A goal here for United might be enough, as i don't really see Milan scoring twice. Gilardino and Inzaghi don't exactly scare defences, and i think Milan's goals will come from Kaka and maybe Seedorf.
The same thing cannot be said of United, who can score from anywhere (Ronaldo, Rooney, Smith, Giggs, Scholes,).
The point that no one had talked about was the yellow-card factor. Scholes, Ronaldo both have a yellow card, meaning that if they pick up another one, they would be suspended from the final (if they make it there). Will that play on their head?
I can see United scoring in Milan, ever since Roma they have been scoring for fun. However, their leaky backline (i forgot when they last kept a clean sheet) is a problem. If Kaka can score twice at OT, he can do it in Milan.
Prediction? My heart says United, and so does my head (although on a much thinner edge). 1-1, with United equalizing in the 2nd half.

AT LAST!
i can understand (and do) a Chem HL WS on Analytic Chemistry!!! yes yes yes...
all the mugging (and giving up Spidey 3 has sorta paid off... haha)
Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea (Liverpool win 4-1 on penalties)
It can be said that Chelsea is more of a marathon runner than Liverpool (who are good like in short spurts in cup competitions). Credit must go to Benitez for out-smarting Moan-rinho on the European stage yet again.
Although i think Mourinho will go at the end of the season (due to Abrahmovic and Kenyon, and maybe Arnsen), i still think that he is a fantastic manager, a breath of fresh air into a relative stagnant EPL. It can be said that Chelsea without Mourinho is as good as leaderless. Ranieri had the same backbone as Mourinho, but yet did not come close to matching the achievements of the Portuguese Man-of-war. It was him that transformed the good signings made by Ranieri (i believe so) into a working and consistent team. Sacking Mourinho might lead to massive player defections with him. Not a good idea.
Liverpool have proven themselves to be a force in Europe, and mostly in the domestic cup competitions. However, i feel that they are lacking at home in the EPL. No use buying players to win the Champions League, when you stink at home. Although Pool fans might love to win the cups, but deep down they want the EPL title back at Anfield after God knows how long. In order for Benitez to be in the elite group (Shankly and Paisely), he needs to win the EPL, bad. The aim is to get a good supporting cast. Gerrard, Alonso, Kuyt will be fine. Gonzalez, Pennant, Zenden, not so. The inflow of cash by the American sponsors need to be spent on good and proven back-ups (not the big shot striker).
