Two quotes indeed. It was a rare occasion and an uncommon sight to see me sitting on the couch, eyes on the television screen watching men running after a ball in hope of scoring against their opponent. I only watch football matches that really are great fixtures, not simply any game- this includes Arsenal, my all-time favourite football team in the English Premier League. That 'rare occasion' and the 'uncommon sight' involved the clash between the two top teams in the League- Chelsea versus Manchester United, and that Manchester United will walk away with the Cup if and only if they win over Chelsea that night (Malaysian time). Unfortunately (Or fortunately for Chelsea fans), the title race continues on for both Manchester United and Chelsea as Manchester United failed to garner all three points!
In fact, i was actually rooting for Manchester United to win that night be it me as a true Arsenal fan. Undeniably, Chelsea, playing home, put up a great show and strong challenge for the current-champion team in the League. Even when Chelsea won the match, i felt they deserve the win. Luck was on the Chelsea side too when many shots from Manchester United players were blocked and saved by the defenders. Great defending. Somehow, i felt like Manchester United wasn't playing full force and took Chelsea a bit too lightly that night. For Chelsea's win, it was definitely a team success as every position in the field was vital and important for them to grab all three points. Although Micheal Ballack scored both the goals for Chelsea, one a penalty goal, he deserved the title 'Man of the Match' and that other players should share the spotlight as well. Now, par at 81 points, Manchester United still have the edge due to goal difference. For either team to lose their remaining two matches, the other team will gain control of the League and may be crowned the 'Champion' this season! So, it will be exciting to see which one of the two teams that will fall, and there can only be one winner in this race.
For Arsenal, my wishes to you is that you will be third in the League this season and come back the next season stronger and maturer to start the winning streak all over again! Bring back the glory days of Arsenal as that was the time i began to have faith in you. wc08, is anxious to see who will make, and who will break in the last two remaining matches.
