Matchday 11/11/07

Liverpool is probably one of the most unpopular teams in epl to me but it seems like my recent tips have all circled around them.
And yesterday, i even have the audacity to part 2,500 cents from my pocket backing them to get 2 goals past some weak fulham side. Following their "super" performance against turkish ber-SHIT-tas side, i was quite adamant that that will be the spark for their next few performance(cant be for the whole season, they are lousy). In the end, i was invited to some beautiful boring football, which made me wonder just how they managed to score 8 goals during their previous match. I went to bed after only watching the first half.
I woke up the next day and realised that i was only 5 mins away from losing all my money. Everyone is saying this match as 'Bao Jiak' but it turns out that the ball is especially round for liverpool with their inconsistent performance time and again..
This week, i will go against my heart for a man u draw or a small win against a highly fancied blackburn side. Everyone has been raving about how good blackburn is but truth is, i think they are just another liverpool style football club. Long balls flying here and there everywhere, i'm not very impressed with the way they play their football. But boring they can be, as a whole they are a very solid and tenacious team, which makes them hard to beat. Against a man u side now deprived of rooney's service, i dun think anyone will be expecting another four goal haul again.
I hope the player who's gonna replace rooney will make me eat my tip this week. But until then, a blackburn draw isnt exactly hard to contemplate.

Disappointing week

My performance has been quite demoralising recently. A run of 2 incorrect predictions have seen ppl wield the axe on me and turn to my frens like ah tay from xin min re pao and some stupid soccer-predicting program from new paper.

So what i want to say is, i have decided to take a break this weekend. No more accurate, but hey, no more wrong tips either..

(Actually, if u still insist that i put up my tips for this week, of course i will be thinking abt the big match Arsenal vs Man U. With both teams so free-scoring and powderful now, i sense a high tempo draw is in the pipeline with both sides capable of scoring goals. Therefore, choice of total goals 4,6 will be quite a good one. With rooney, ronaldo and fabregas in red hot form at the moment, back them to score in this match. And Arsenal always has this knack of scoring late late goals, particularly against Man U, so go for some toure, gallas or senderos to deliver the goods during set pieces in the dying mins. Again, believe what i juz mentioned at your own risk. Remember my luck hasnt been good recently so until that has changed probably juz take my words with a pinch of salt for now......)
