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.

Liverpool: Reina, Aurelio, Hyypia, Carragher, Arbeloa, Babel, Alonso, Leiva, Pennant, Gerrard (captain), Kuyt. Subs - Benayoun, Keane, Dossena, Riera, Cavalieri, Mascherano, Agger

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.

Chelsea- Liverpool: 0-1
Stamford Bridge


Liverpool on top with 23 pts (table taken from the official site)

last night Liverpool have proven themselves credentials to the title as the beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with 1-nil after! Liverpool is now on top with 23 pts and the only team that hasn't been beaten so far. it's an incredible season for them so far especially with this record. finally they're the one who beats Chelsea's record of 86 unbeaten matches. the last time Chelsea was beaten at home was back in January 2004. both team played their best and it was a thrilling and fantastic game. the first and winning goal for Liverpool was in the first half at 10' and it was a deflection made by Alonso. The stadium was filled with Liverpool chants after that leaving Chelsea fans slumping down their seats. After that, Chelsea didn't fool around as they began to strike forward and attempted many tries in hoping for an equalizer. Liverpool maintained their leading goal by defending and blocking Chelsea's ball as the second half commenced. I'm just stating little bits of the match since i'm out of words on how to describe the amazing match so here's the breakdown of the match full time.

Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven 3-1 win (:

Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven: 3-1
Anfield, Liverpool

Liverpool won the match against PSV Eindhoven with a great play. the first goal was made by Kuyt at 4' and it was his first goal so far since his last against Standard Liege at 117'. the second goal was miraculously made my Keane at 35' as it became his first goal since joining Liverpool. the ball was brought forward by Torres as he's in the right hand side and he gave a low crossing or passing to Keane, who's in the box, then he quickly kicked the ball into the net. both goals were made in the first half leaving PSV with nil. as the second half starts, PSV began to pick up their pace as they took more ball possession than Liverpool in the first half. However the reds were awarded with a free kick at 76' and Gerrard took that kick. as expected from Gerrard, he gave an amazing drive that the keeper was unable to catch his ball. this became Liverpool's third goal and Gerrard's 100th goal. it was a relieve to see the score 3-0 but not later after that, PSV scored a consolation goal made by Danny Koevermans. so it was 3-1 and that score remains the same until the game ended.

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 (:

tonight at 10pm will be a match between Liverpool and Aston Villa and at 11pm Manchester City against Sunderland. now how the hell am i gonna watch both games full time without missing any parts? i just hope my sister got the time wrong on when the game starts otherwise, i'm gonna run from one room to the next just to watch two different match with two clubs i support. but thank god Arsenal's match was last night...

liverpool pride (deeb's really)

.LIVERPOOL PRIDE.

Awesome banner i'd say to the one who made it (:

i love the past and the current things the same way as i do but never have i put my whole heart into it so much that it became a pride to me. i support Liverpool FC all way and i believe that i'll support this team till i'm old and wrinkly (: something about loving football and having a team to support just makes me feel proud. proud, pride and loyalty. the three things i found in loving football. here's the lyrics on LFC's song, You'll Never Walk Alone.

You'll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Jordin Sparks once did a cover on this song in american idol and she sung it perfectly. i love many covers made on this song as many sung it perfectly well :D anyway, i wrote a poem about this club. i put everything i've got when i wrote it so it's pretty much a pride for me. i placed too much of myself and my thoughts into it that i can't post it here. well not just here, anywhere. it's just... too personal. LOL just screw everything if you're lost in trying to make sense out of my words.

that's pretty much of what i wanna say in this post for now so good day people (:

liverpool wins again (:

Liverpool won in the match against Middlesbrough with 2-1. again, another victory for the kop (:
i just noticed there's a muslim in LFC and that's Nabil El Zhar. a pretty fast player is all i have to say~ oh yeah, here's the current table of the league;



right, i wanna congratulate Argentina as they won a gold medal in the Olympics' men football. Nigeria came in second with silver and Brazil came in third with bronze. it was cute how the Argentines celebrate their victory and how they jumped up and down on the platform excitedly when it was their turn to receive the medals.

that's pretty much what i wanna say about football (: anyway about MY life, things been going smooth and okay but it's pretty much HELL whenever it's time for chemistry. things change, BIG change. i actually cried after the lesson was over because the way the teacher was teaching, if i have a weak heart, i'd suffer from it and collapse due to a heart failure. it was a lesson in HELL and unfortunately, i have to go through chemistry 3 times in a week ;___; but it doesn't matter, i'll only have at the end of August and the whole September to attend this wretched class. i just hope i obtain a CREDIT in my chemistry and the other subjects in this oct-nov o lvl.

especially for today

finally i am ABLE to change my background! seriously patd was starting to look boring with me being SO into football (: yeah it's the 16th already & you know what that means... the return of the PREMIER LEAGUE!!! haha i've been anticipating for this day and tonight, Liverpool's gonna beat Sunderland!!! LOL i'm just too hyper. i do hope & i DO have faith in them winning this match against Sunderland ^^

Yeah held the banner up high. I SUPPORT this team!

alright, put football aside and let's talk about reality. yeah my exams are almost over and the last day would be on the 18th, which is this Monday. what's left to go through is History paper 1. haha sounds easy huh with all the mcqs but after what i did with my paper 2, i need some SERIOUS reading and do MEMORIZE them. well i do memorize them but only at a temporary moment. haha how's that gonna help? wtf? what the hell am i blabbing about? i thought i was okay with memorizing! oh screw it, i'll just read my history books at the end anyway. right, i'm totally bored so i'm gonna post some pictures. (YAY more color to this blog of mine



an unopened fortune cookie given by my usu. haha the cookie's pink & sweet!



henry is very shy ^^ this was an old picture of them before they were sent living outside (which they're more satisfied and quite gotten bigger) i love panda (the bunny at the back) but it's own by my youngest sis, Fatin.



french fries and olivia, climbing onto the bars as soon as i open its door and yes, they were sniffing for food (:

Liverpool VS Glasgow Rangers: 4-0

liverpool scored 4 goals in a friendly match against glasgow rangers leaving the rangers with nil! Hooray for LFC! finally some thrills from them and i notice there are new players being sent to the field:

Striker- David N'Gog (24)

Defender- Andrea Dossena (2)
Keeper- Diego Cavalieri (1)

Striker- Robbie Keane (7)

yes i knew about keane's transfer to LFC but n'gog & dossena was a surprise. nevertheless, these transfers brought victory to the team. Torres scored the first goal at 23' and N'gog with the second goal at 56' followed by Benayoun's at 60' and lastly the fourth by Alonso at 70' during the PK. N'gog showed his capability as a skilled player by scoring a goal and how his second attempt almost scored them a goal even though the attempt was unsuccessful. (the ball hits the post so it bounces back to the field) keane however did his part as a player but he hasn't show any speciality like N'gog or Dossena so that it might be hard for people to acknowledge him as a real star. well that's my point of view and i just wish him all the best ^^ oh yeah, Dossena is awesome especially when he blocked the ball out of the line when Rangers' Novo was certain to score a goal. Cavalieri is also awesome, he's a great keeper from what i've seen at the match (:

another match for Liverpool will be against Valerenga on 6th August, next week. i'm anticipating for the next match and hopefully, they win again and can bring their success to the Premier League.

it's all about football

yes the premier's league will start on the 16th of August and i'm anticipating for the event! yeah me so i can see my gorgeous men run down the field and play their games well. and hopefully, brings victory to their respective FC. i wish for the best to Liverpool and Manchester City FC. go kill the other twits boys ;D

I would like to congratulate Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid as that decreases the fans of MUFC. yes SOME MUFC fans are obnoxious and totally confident that this team will win with the presence of Ronaldo so now, with him transferred... the world might be a little safer to live in (: i hope you'll do great in Real Madrid Ronaldo.

as for other news, well it's related to Chelsea's recruitment of new players. they recruited Deco from FC Barcelona with an official contract of 3 years for €10 million (8 million pounds) and for your information, he's number 20 in Chelsea. Chelsea's manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari offered a €80 million contract to AC Milan's Kaka and there's a chance that this move will come to happen! at first when Real Madrid offered a €90 million contract to Kaka last summer, Milan didn't even think of accepting that bid.

Milan also quote: "This time is different. This is the first time we feel that a deal will definitely happen."

what made Chelsea's offer interesting was the benefit for Kaka if he joined them:
a significant increase in Kaka's salary, on top of the 10 percent transfer fee that goes straight to the him anyway- estimated in a sum of €15 million.

i just hope Kaka's transfer doesn't happen. come on, half of this country's citizens hate Chelsea so don't make it worst for the fans of Kaka. they might eventually fly to London just to find Scolari and killed him for taking in their favorite player into their most hated team. i'm just saying because i oppose menacing or violent act. haha so irrelevant. oh yeah here's the thing, i don't hate Manchester United too much honestly but i just hate the fans here in this tiny country. they're always exaggerating that made me hate MUFC so much that at time, i just feel like strangling one of them. they just mock Liverpool just as bad as they talk s*** about Chelsea! no amusing at all.
