Seriously, even you are not a Manchester United fans like me, you still have to give credit to this old man, Sir Alex Ferguson. He may not always be right, but most of the time, he is right, haha sounds weird. I respect him as a man, as a manager. He is far more better than Arsene Wenger, maybe a little advantage over Carlo Ancelotti after the win at Champions League's quarter final. He is no doubt the best manager in Barclay's Premier League at the moment.
I watched the match between Manchester United and Everton yesterday night. When the score was still 0-0 about 80th minutes, I turned my head and looked at my brother who is a ManU fans. He looked confident though. And, I got a bad feeling that Sir Alex's team will score at the last minute of the game (I said I am not a ManU fans). 'Fortunately', it did not take so long as the talented young striker, Javier Hernandez a.k.a Chicharito scored a winning header. Chicha reminds me of the younger, faster Michael Owen, the striker who once had that killer instinct inside the penalty box. I have to apologize to my brother as I did said that Chicharito is overrated and maybe just a hype.
However, today's headline in UK is, Fernando Torres, the half Billion's striker finally scored a goal for Chelsea Football Club of Chelsea's 3-0 victory over West Ham United. Yes, El Nino scored again after 903 minutes (for Liverpool, Spain and Chelsea). And he did added an assist as well.
This was what he said after the match:
[The goal drought] was not what I was expecting when I signed," Torres said. "It's not easy when you sign in January. It's thanks to my team-mates that I can score, they have been looking for me all the time. There is less pressure on me now so I hope you will see more of me.
"It's not been so difficult. The fans have been very patient with me so I had more anxiety for them than for me. I just wanted to show them I can score and I hope it is the first of many goals."
9 matches have been played yesterday night except Arsenal against Bolton. Wenger told the press that he believed his side will be the last team standing if they take all 15 points in the last 5 matches. However, they are 16 matches unbeaten at the moment. Er, they just won 8 games from that 16 games anyway. As ManU won yesterday, the gap between ManU and Gunners will still be 6 points even the Gunners beat Bolton tonight.
For me, I don't think that both Chelsea and Arsenal still capable of winning the League Champion. ManU has one hand on the cup already. Four games left and you are expecting Ferguson's side to drop 6 points from the possible 12 points. That's unrealistic even though everything happens in football, at least not this time. I know some of you will said that what if Arsenal beat ManU at Emirate Stadium and what if Chelsea beat ManU at Old Trafford. Okie, I am one of them who hopes this happens but I do not think it is possible. If ManU win against Arsenal next week and Chelsea drop points against Tottenham then the season is over.
