manu vs arsenal

not going to pretend i m a neutral here.i fancy an arsenal-barcelona final in rome.

manchester united won n rightly so..quite disappointed with arsenal last night..man u started the game at full throttle n arsenal didnt seem to be able to cope with them. in the end man u hv a 1 goal lead come the 2nd leg at emirates stadium next week,anythg can happen but man u is now the favourite to go into the final stage of the competition.hope arsenal will do something about it. rooney was given the task to patrol the left side of the field again n he did a fine job over there. walcott was quite a handful for evra but in the end evra got the better of him.even with minimal time on ball walcott was a threat to man u.fabregas,nasri were supposed to be the creative players n the brains but none of them shone last nite.arsenal certainly did defend better in the 2nd half but the damage has already been done.anyone saw how ronaldo cried n whined n screamed when gibbs fouled him in the pen box? tv replayed the scene over n over again n it gets more hillarious with each replay.

anyway i m off to bangalore tonight to attend the malaysian student leadership(?) conference 2009.so after missing the hull game next week i m going to miss this one againts newcastle also. but hey stevie is back so nothing to worry about..just go out there n play ur best football..going to wish fernando good luck on twitter later..bye =)
