Saturday Football (supposedly to be posted on the 15th)

Bolton Wanderers- Liverpool: 0-2
Reebok Stadium

full report: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/match/last_match/match_report/index.htm

My thought: Liverpool should have got 0-6 there with Bolton but with luck not on their side, they've managed to get 0-2 only (which i'm far grateful than to have them at nil or losing). the 4 chances that might have got them 6 were: 1) when Kuyt made a low drill through the 6 yard box, Keane was unable to kick the ball into the net as he used his right foot instead of his left (should have been 2 in the 1st half) 2) Torres' low passing towards the box where Gerrard, who's right in front of the post, unfortunately kicked the ball few inches away from the goal post. (should have been 3 in the 2nd half) 3) Torres' strong shot towards the net but sadly hits the crossbar and bounced back into the field (should have been 5 in the 2nd half) 4) Lucas Leiva missed a goal where his heading lacked accuracy (should have been 6 in the 2nd half) if they actually got six, there's a possibility that they might catch up with Chelsea's crazy, wide goal difference.

Arsenal- Aston Villa: 0-2
Emirates Stadium

My thought: Arsenal was showing off great performances but once you come across Agbonlahor, you just have to pray you can stop the guy from scoring for Aston Villa. he's like the Messi for BPL and England, once the ball is with him, the time you see it away from him will be when the ball is in the net.

AM matches that kept me awake

Liverpool vs Portsmouth: 1-0
Anfield, Liverpool

LFC won with 1-0 against Portsmouth last night and bagged another 3 points for the team. the goal was a PK made by Gerrard in the 74' min. from the attempted shots made by the players, it could have gotten LFC greater goals if luck was on their side but sadly, most shots are either blocked or caught by the keeper. during the first half, Kuyt's and Arbeloa's shots are both possible goals for the team but unfortunately, James blocked Kuyt's ball with both hands and as for Arbeloa's, it was a few inches away from the goal post. for the second half, they started high-spirited like usual but as time passed on, they began weakening as the ball was mostly obtained or possessed by the opposing team. if they weren't too tired, they might have played a better game than what they performed last night. nevertheless, the one goal is enough to keep LFC still on top of the league.

Alonso possesses ball from Crouch

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur: 4-4
Emirates Stadium, North London

it was an amazing match and the outcome was absolutely unexpected! Tottenham is blessed with a new manager, Harry Redknapp (ex-Pompey manager) as he changed the team dramatically from losers to a winning, strong team. Tottenham already got talented players and clearly it was the one that managed the team before was the problem so there's no surprise that they're suddenly appear as a confident and risky team with Redknapp. in the first half, the score was 1-1 with Tottenham leading by Bentley's goal from a long range at 13' min and equalized later by Arsenal's Silvestre during the team's corner kick at 37' min. During the second half, Arsenal scored their second goal with Gallas heading a ball from their corner kick at 46' min. Adebayor also scored at 64' min where he was running towards the passed ball by Nasri in mid-air and quickly kicked it into the net before the defender had any chance in kicking it out. Now the score became 3-1 but that changed at 67' as Tottenham's Huddlestone shot a low drive but blocked by Almunia and Bent who was nearby, took a chance and shots for the net. He scored making it 3-2, but a minute after that Arsenal bagged another goal with Van Persie leaving them with 4-2. everyone was confident that Arsenal would be the match's winner but at 89' min, Jenas unexpectedly goaled as he shots for the net. High-spirited & confident, Tottenham tried their luck for an equalizer and within the additional minute, 90+(5) Lennon made the last goal which immediately ends the game with 4-4.

arsenal against newcastle united 3-0!

Arsenal won against Newcastle United last night with 3-0! yeah and their ranking went from 7 up to no 2 in the league's table (: i'm so happy with their win and especially with their play. lol fabregas look hot especially with his new cut *drools* god that man can melt me easily with just a smile from him xD


the current table

anyway, the first (PK) and second goal were made by Van Persie in the first half and the third goal was made by Denilson in 60'. it was a pass made by Nasri to Adebayor then to Denilson thus he made the goal. Nasri played fantastically and i idolize the guy. it was clearly seen the guy have strong and massive technical skills going on with him. substitution were made, eboue with song bilong and van persie with vela. Van Persie contributed alot in this winning and if he wasn't injured, he might have scored another goal for the club but sadly he was.

i IDOLIZED & respect Nasri. he's skilled and awesome (:
