Login here to do some updating again.
Basically, army life goes on and on till next year June. I just finished my first week of driving course in army and it's all theory and theory in the lecture room. I managed to pass my highway code test and starting from tml, we will be going to start on real driving which means driving on circuit or public road.
I missed a lot of action for the Olympic 2012 London due to booking in and all those crap ! I like to watch Olympic as players will do their 100% for their country and it will be exciting.
August 2012 ! Hopefully a good month without any crap happening !

BPL had started off and there are several so called unexpected results going around in the BPL. Many had expected that Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea to had a good start but sadly only 2 out of the 4 BPL giants had done that.
Man Utd had a small victory against Birmingham at OT which I would said Birmingham City should deserve at least 1 point. Man utd seems to lack of creativity in the front line. Rooney is trying his best to convince the fans that they can still be the champion without Ronaldo and Tevez but second match against Burnley really is a shock result and proves more that Ronaldo and Tevez departure had a great effect on Man Utd attacks. 3rd Match against Wigan should let the gunner's fans some scare when they travel to OT tmr. 5-0 in the second half and Michael owen getting his first goal seemes to brighten up the Man Utd morale. 2 win 1 lose is not a bad start but should had been 100% record win given their opponent.
Liverpool had not been in their usual form since the start of the BPL. Their opening match lost against Tottenham marks the bad start. I probabaly think that now all the BPL teams had strengthen their squad and had the possibilities to overtake the big 4. Liverpool second match trashed 4-0 against Stoke City and many had thought they had regain their confident but sadly a home defeats against Aston Villa really breaks the heart of Livepool's fans. All 3 goals conceded can be prevented if they are more caution. I think the problem for Liverpool is that Gerrard had not been performing well.
Chelsea had a great start under new manager Carlos Ancelotti and 3 wins of out 3 is a good start. Although Hull City had gave them a scare but really a win is a win. Anelka and Drogba are in top form and this proves crucial to the chelsea attacks.
Arsenal had been predicted by many that there will out of big 4 this season but 6-1 big win against Everton at Goodison Park and 4-1 win against Portsmouth at home really silence the criticise around them. 10 goals in 2 matches and if they continue their form this season,they had a higher chance of getting their first silverware since 4 years.

Yo to all soccer fans
What a interesting summer transfer window we have this year. There are several major signing all around but Man City and Real Madrid are the two top buyers for this year.
Real Madrid had splashed out 65m to buy Kaka and 80m for C.Ronaldo. They had also brought albiol and Benzema which I think would definitely strengthen their attack. The problem is will they gel together and produced the results that all are expected? C.Ronaldo is those of a selfish player where he will bring the ball all the way to the penalty box and take a shot, but can he do that at RM? There are Benzema, Raul and Kaka waiting and shouting for ball and they are all world class player. We need to see how happen when the seasons start to see if what RM spent is worthable. RM at the meanwhile are still in the process of signing Alonso from Liverpool.
Man City had brought Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz, Barry, Toure, Adebayor and most likely Lescott. Many had siad that what Man City do is a correct strategy, what they brought are all from their rivals team which potentially will be the ones that will be fighting against them next season. Tevez = Man Utd, Santa Cruz = Blackbun, Barry = Aston villa, Toure & Adebayor = Arsenal, Lescott = Everton. Luckily they did not manage to purchase Terry. I personally think that Man City had the potential to really challenge the big four with the players they had. The best signing would probably be Tevez and Toure.

After watching the Champion league final between Man Utd vs Barcelona, I decided to write some comment on the match itself. (I watched the replay xD).
Let’s congratulate Barcelona first for their treble this season, they had done fantastically well and really this is probably one of their best season in their history.
Barcelona put up a 4-3-3 formation which considerably a attacking formation with Messi, Eto’o and Heny up front. They started quite nervously and almost let in a goal when Victor Valdes almost slips the ball from C.Ronaldo free kick lucky for Pique to clear it out. The first 10 minutes, Barcelona did not play up their standard but they got the lead at 10 mintues, Xavi skipped through M.Carrick challenge and pass to Eto’o which was at the righ flank, Eto’o went pass Vidic way too easily and took a shot which eventually went into net . Vidic and Van Der Sar had to be blame for conceding this goal.
After conceding early goal, Man Utd did not respone back quickly and through the first half, it was all almost Barcelona trying to score a second goal. Park and Anderson did not have a good game. Man Utd went into the first half with a goal behind.
Second half saw a Sir Alex Ferguson bringing out Tevez to replace Anderson, this prove to be a rather risky choice as they now played a more attacking formation M.Carrick alone did not have tha ability to guard both inestia and Xavi. Although Man Utd did try to create a few chances and Pique really did a geat job in handling Man Utd attack. Man Utd defensive problem prove to be a costly, at 70 minutes, Man Utd didn’t clear the ball well, Xavi uses this opportunity to make a cross to Messi which is unmark and Messi made not mistake in heading the ball into the net. This is his first goal against an English club for almost 12 matches.
Man Utd Sir Alex Ferguson perhaps had made a wrong deicision in his starting line-up, he should not start Park and Anderson. They are both good players but was rather inconsistent, He should start Paul Scholes which had tons of experience in hadling big matches, starting Tevez is also a more suitable choice rather then Park.
Suggested line-up
I think this would be a much better choice then starting Rooney alone in the up front. Second mistake made by Man Utd is that they did not really guard Xavi well, Carrick should guard Xavi closely to prevent him from having the space to make a pass or cross which would threaten Man Utd.
Although Barcelona won, but they did a mistake in starting up 4-3-3 formation which I think would be rather dangerous choice provided Man Utd played to their best, Man Utd is best at counter attack and Barcelona would count themselves lucky that Man Utd was slightly off-form on that day. One thing did exactly well for Barcelona is keeping C.Ronaldo quiet. Puyol did a very good job in marking C.Ronaldo, he never allow Ronaldo to run freely much often and this make Ronaldo quite fustrated on the pitch .LOL.

So, it will be Man Utd vs Barcelona in the final after Barcelona won Chelsea at SB through the away goal rule. Man Utd on the other hand had won 3-1 at Emirates Stadium to give Arsenal another trohpyless season.
Arsenal did not played well in this game, they started brightly but mistakes by Gibbs and Almunia really destroyed the hope of all Arsenal fans. In my opinion, Arsenal did make some mistakes in their tactic and formation. I would think that putting Diaby on the bench is a wrong choice. Since Arsenal are 1 goal behind, they should put a more attacking formation, Song is a defensive midfielder, he can't really go forward and plays a part in attack, starting Diaby would be a much better choice because his dribbling skills is much better than Song and he can play as a attacking midfield.
Second mistake by Arsenal is that they let Ronaldo too much space. Man Utd most dangerous player would be C.Ronaldo and Arsenal simply just gave too much space and didn't close him down whenever he has the ball.
Third mistake is that I would say such an important match should not let an unexperienced player play, although he had a decent performance at the 1st leg but 2nd leg is much more important, playing Eboue would be a better choice.
The highlight of the game is probably C.Ronaldo 30 yards free-kick goal and Fletcher's red card. As Wenger said in the press conference "The match has ended before it starts"..it's true because Arsenal conceded two goals in just 11 minutes and it two away goal. Man Utd fully deserve a place in the final.
Barcelona booked the final ticket to Roma after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at SB. Chelsea was unlucky in this match, they had several clear cut penalty calls but none of them has been awarded. After the match, Chelsea's players surrounded the refree and trying to confront. Drogba almost beat the refree and might be punished. Barcelona two full-backs, Abidal and Alves both missed out of the final due to suspension, thats a gd news for Man Utd. Chelsea plays better than Barcelona today, they kept on threatening Victor Valdes and Malouda really performed above expectation, you can't ask for more from him. He was very active on the right hand side and gives Alves many problems, and Alves was suspended coz of marking him. Michael Essien wonderful volley gives Chelsea a 1-0 lead at 9minutes...superb volley I would say, probably goal of the season, better than Ronaldo 40 yards goal.
Chelsea did not had much possession but they did defend well in this match, although Barcelona had lots of possession, Cech really didn't get much threatened. Chelsea on the other hand had fewer chances but all of their chances came close to a goal. Drogba was very threatening, few penalty calls were from him. Iniesta however scored in the 93rd minutes to silence the whole SB. Even at 94th minutes, there was a penalty call after Ballack shot somehow blocked by Eto'o hand in the penalty area but still, it was not a penalty.
So Final would be Man Utd vs Barcelona.. Will Barcelona get their 3rd Champion league trophy or Will Man Utd become the Champion of Europe two times in a row? Bear in mind that no teams had ever becomes the Champion of Europe twice and if Sir Alex Ferguson has done it, he would be the first manager to done so.

John O'Shea score the only goal in the CHampion league semi-final so far to give Man Utd a 1 goal advantage when they travel to Emirates Stadium next week. Arsenal did not perform up to par in today's game. Alunmia probably is the best player in that match with several crucial saves to help Arsenal from conceding more than 1 goal.
Arsenal uses a more defensive formation, Adebayor alone upfront with Walcott, Diaby and Nasri behind him, Fabregas and Song controlling the middle. Arsenal did not have a gd lst leg, they kept on being attack by Man Utd. Even Bendtner and Eduardo brought on later in the second half did not help Arsenal at all. Man Utd did play very gd today, fortunately, Arsenal was lucky enough to concede 1 goal.

Chelsea and Everton will be meeting each other on 30th May to decide who is the FA cup holders.
Everton booked the tickets to final after ex-Man Utd player Howard saves two penalties from berbatov and ferdinand. I heard that Man Utd puts a lot of youngster in this semi-final cup tie and also need to congratz Everton ..
Arsenal on the other hand had lost the chance of getting to FA Cup final after a 2-1 lost. Arsenal did put up a strong line-up..Walcott, Adebayor and Van Persie all in the starting line-up. I feel that Arsenal did not play really well in this game. They didn't pass that fluently n did not have many chances to threaten P.Cech. One of the factors why Arsenal had lost is because their midfield can't match with Chelsea. Chelsea have Lampard, Essien and Ballack controlling the middle and they are all world-class midfielder and if you see Arsenal midfielder, Fabregas, Denlison, Diaby..Arsenal are lost out in terms of whether Experiences or Skills. Fabregas is carefully marked therefore he didn't really that much threat. Adebayor alone had to face two big defenders, Alex and Terry and Adebayor was poor in this match. There is only Walcott and Van Persie threatening the full-backs, esp Walcott whose speed is really threatening Ashely Cole.
Arsenal got the lead through Walcott.. nice cross by gibbs and walcott's shot deflect off Cole and goes into the net. Chelsea on the other hand scores just before the break, Malouda shoot from penalty box scores for Chelsea. This goal could have been prevented if Fabanski can be more alert because this shot has no strength. Fabanski was poor in that match, the 2 goals that Arsenal conceded was mainly his fault. Drogba scores again for Chelsea 6 minutes from stoppage times to give Chelsea a place in the FA Cup final.
Liverpool will be taking on Arsenal on Tue morning, if Arsenal win, they will successfully secured the place for 4th spot IMO. If Liverpool win, they will still had chances of overtaking Man Utd. So important match for both clubs...Arsenal will be in disadvantage because they had gone through a tough battle at weekend while Liverpool have no match at weekend.
Chelsea and Everton will be meeting each other on 30th May to decide who is the FA cup holders.
