Revenge of the kop

Let's kick off today's blog with some anecdotes on football(no pun intended).Perhaps you have sensed this coming.Yeah,i'm gonna talk about how in the freaking blue hell did liverpool,despite trailing milan 3-0 at half time,could manage to tilt the game to their balance and wrestled the cup back.Unbelievable isn't it?Being thrashed 3-0 usually mean you can start heading to the dressing room and pack your boots.

Some of you might argue,'dude,this isn't the way man,we must never give up without a fight.We still have our dignity to play for!'.Not that i'm discouraging it.In fact,i'm a staunch believer of,as cliche as it sounds,the 'never say die' mentality.But this is different,we're talking bout an opposition of such impeccable quality that is ac milan - the granddaddy of champions league.

One of the most experienced club in these modern days when it comes to european cup competition.One that will strike fear in the eyes of their opponents and causes their legs to get all wobbly (okay,so this is a tad over the top).Nonetheless,they're serious cup contenders,the real deal.With all these accolades,surely it would be a task of gargantuan proportion for liverpool to stage a comeback.Even the bookies(legit or otherwise) dared to offer generous amount of cash for those who were brave enough to bet on scousers winning it.

What more with them conceeding 3 goals,they needed something more,something monumental in nature - a miracle.And yes,miracle did happened.So our mighty milan threw the game away in just under six minutes.The men in red equalised in that short crazy period in what nesta called 'a blackout'.What's even more unbelievable was the manner they let in the three goals.Come on,being professionals they should know better to solidify their defence and preserve their lead.

And they say this is the competition of the highest order,where have all the crafty strategies gone?A huge mistake like this should never occurred.And i thought such amazing comeback is only possible in mediocre quality leagues.With all respect to liverpool,that was the greatest comeback i've ever witnessed(not quite though,cause i've fallen asleep after half time.hehheh).Not since the miraculous comeback by manu in the 1999 cl final against munich.

On the flip side,liverpool have restored the dignity of english clubs in general.Yay!They have proven that english clubs are not 'has-beens' and very much up there with the spanish and italian football giants.So,congralutions to liverpool and i hope their wish of defending their cup next season will come true.

Okay,now on something more closer at home.I wanted to watch madagascar today but it was not meant to be.No thanks to my uncle who loves ordering people to do things at the last minute.I normally don't give a hoot if i'm free but not when it is 15mins before the movie starts!No use complaining,someone gotta do it anyway and that person is yours truly.

It would be rude to ignore his order.We're dealing with an elder asking the young the do the things now.No compromise or whatsoever.When i finally got it done,we were already running late.Jian hua and i decided to postphone it and went to fetch siew kham instead.We went for lunch at deli france.Apparently,it was the third or fourth time i had a proper meal at deli france.They serve wonderful sandwiches but it beats me why i didn't go there often.

I ordered black pepper crab sandwich but that fella heard me wrong and gave me tuna and mayo sandwich instead.Bummer.Hey dude,i remember you!You livestrong band wearer!A manly conversation followed.You know,usual stuff like chun chicks,close friends,sex(mild),bachelorhood(except that siew kham is already attached so he had no say bout this matter for now.haha).

After hogging the table for an hour,off we went for window shopping.Sports being the theme of the day.Went looking for futsal boots,all were like potential wallet burners.I saw an adidas track bottom that i really like but there is no 'M' size in sight.It's alright,i'm pretty confident i can find it in the future,before it has been sold out that is.With that being done,we headed straight back to home and rot for the rest of the day and night.For me at least.Lolz.
