4-2? Whats up Arseanal? Ekekeke ….

Wow, my last posting was quite a hit. Well based on my counter readings that is. Well I guess when it’s about complaining on Astro everyone would want to read about it.

4-2, Sweet…

What can I say …. Well Wenger you have to admit you were again outfox by the old master once again. Ok first of all I ll have to admit this, I am a Man U fan …. But let me add this, I am not as Hardcore as other Red Devils supporters. I don’t take things way too seriously like some other fans, be it Man U, Chelsea or Aseanal. After all I was born in JB not Manchester.Then again this morning’s victory was sweet. Even sweeter was the fact that it didn’t waste my precious sleep time on a working day like today. Hahahah ….

Ok here are some points why the victory was sweet.

The brickbats …

Yeah the brickbats that was dragging on and on during the season certainly spiced up the game. Imagine, they have not even been on the pitch and yet there was a scuffle. It just shows you the kind of hostility these guys have towards each other. Being a Man U fan obviously I think Arseanal were bad losers during the game at Old Trafford. Plus I think some of the stuff being said about the Red Devils were a bit unfair. Its football and business, so you do what you had to do to win. At the end of the day that’s all that matters. Then again Man U was really physical and rough that day. So today’s game was really the time where all the yapping stops and the action speaks. And guess what for all the talk Arseanal, this morning you were shite.

Outfox

Arseanal biggest mistake during the game didn’t happen on the pitch and didn’t happen this morning. It started waaaayyy back when they lost the game at Old Trafford. In fact it probably started when the entire team had a go at Van Nistelroy a few seasons back. Anyway, since that lost the master psychologist; Sir Alex went on the offensive to further attack Arseanal. Arseanal’s reaction and action (buffet throwing and stupid public remarks) after that further compounded them. The fact that they reacted to Sir Alex’s comment clearly was a bad move. It clearly affected them more and it showed in this morning’s game. You can see Arseanal players were really tense and really wanted revenge thus causing them to lose focus. Man Utd players on the other hand were more relaxed and more focus on the task at hand. They new they had a job to do and a football game to win. So they won the game through better mental conditioning and concentration. Which evidently, was the deciding factor.

Outplayed

As mentioned, because of their mental state key Arseanal players did nt perform up to expectations. Sol Campbell and Pires to me being the main culprit. Only Henry was as usual, the best of the lot. His overhead kick was short of being a goal. Had it gone in it would have been the goal of the season. Wenger should have played differently and could have sprung a surprise. Instead he went to his usual formation. It was predictable that United would try to outman Viera in midfield as the saying goes, control the middle of the pitch then you control the game. Viera was not as effected as he could be because ManUs midfield closed him down and didn’t give him the space he needed. When he is not enterprising then Arseanal’s attack would be blunted. Only once did he had space and look at the ball he fed to Henry. It was a gem. Then again it was not enough. Another smart move by Man Utd was to play Ronaldo on the left. Man U knew that Cole is tougher to beat so they moved him to Laurens position. Clearly it had the desired impact.Wenger did throw his last card by taking off Lauren but as the results has shown it was a bad move. The whole game that area of the pitch was where United’s goal came from. So when he was substituted, there was no surprise when Heinze broke on the left and set up Osheas goal. Which by the way was exceptional.

Overall

Like the entire EPL headlines you read “It was SWEET” The fact that they came back twice and played with ten man for about 20 minutes and yet came out winners surely was sweet. Still you don’t see any Man U players jumping over another ManU player in celebration right? (Remember Wiltord at Old Trafford?)

Then again its just football guys…
So don’t take it seriously….

Now let’s get back to reality and get cracking on the work you are supposed to be doing

Cheers..
