Blackburn, Friedel, ManYoo, Gunners!



Watch the match between Blackburn Rovers and ManYoo on telly yesterday. The Rovers were leading 1-0 right up to the 93rd minute, when Alan Smith scored for the devils.

It was so frustrating watching them giving away possession rashly. Even down to 10 men, they could've at least played keep-ball! If not for the many point-blank saves made by super-keeper Brad Friedel, they could've lost by a 5 to 6 goal margin. The devils had, like, 14 to 15 shots ON TARGET, while the Rovers had 4.

At Carrow Rd however, it was a different story altogether. Arsenal was playing away to Norwich, but you almost couldn't tell who were the home side. They were running rings around the Canaries, and can even afford to give away a penalty. And then the excellent Bergkamp went on to score the fourth to make it 1-4. They are so frightening in attack that I think its not beyond them to go at least half the season unbeaten! Maybe even longer.

The goals this season has also been fantastic. All the long range bombardments flying in. And I think its there for all to see that MU's domination is well and truly over. In the 80's its Liverpool, MU took over in the 90's, and now, its the era of the Gunners. But it'll be interesting to see what Mourinho can do with Chelsea.

Football (soccer if you're American), its a beautiful game.
