"Robert was uncertain and scared to miss the penalty and he made a big mistake and a wrong decision. He was not lacking seriousness or respect - he was lacking confidence."
Arsene Wenger
"Robert's leg went numb, but had he touched the ball, I would have been there to bury the ball."
Thierry Henry. So does Pires go numb when he gets nervous?
"I have never found anyone who had the guts to do it with me. Robert Pires did - but then he missed the ball."
Hey Bobby, what's the French for 'air kick'?
"I will now take the penalties - all the time."
Sense prevails - eventually - for Thierry...
"I will try the routine again - but next time I will push the ball off the penalty spot for someone else."
Then vanishes again.
"You know why they took the second penalty like that? They have so many penalties in a season they had to do something different."
Jose Mourinho, candid as ever, has his say.
"I am happy to hear that he would like me to teach him a few of the things I stand for. I would happily teach him not just about winning and playing well but also about winning respect from people. That is more important than the titles you win. He has time to learn how to win and how to lose. To earn the respect of the whole world is a different story."
Dutch legend Johan Cruyff hits back at Mourinho.
"This Chelsea is better and more solid than the best-ever Real Madrid team. At this moment Mourinho could put out two teams with the perfect guarantee of not losing to any club."
Claude Makelele, before Chelsea's clash with Charlton.

"I don't know why Beckham got sent off. Maybe it's because he's blonde and pretty - the referee is capable of sending him off for that."

SLeague soccer
While waiting for the man u match to start i shall blog about soccer that is closer to us..the S-League!
First we shall go into my theory of how leagues in the world are named. Leagues in excellent footballing nations like Brazil and Germany get pretitled with an letter close to the start of the alphabet. Therefore the Brazilian league and German League both start with B. Lesser footballing nations like England get pretitled with E, and even louser ones like Singapore get the ones all the way at the end at the alphabet. Anyway, the point of this is that only the best of the best of the leagues in the world get to start with A..and hey..what a coincidence..thats where Yorke belongs!
Anyway, angst berge bonks and me went to watch SAFFC vs Geylang at CCK stadium on thursday. The tickets only cost 1 buck each cos we were students, and they even gave free ice cream for each ticket purchased. That is like the cheapest entertainment Ive seen for damn long.
After waiting outside the gates for like 30 minutes for that stupid berge to arrive and missing 49 seconds of the match, he finally arrived and we rushed in to grab our seats in quite a packed stadium. And contary to our expectations the match was actually quite good.
Geylang drew first blood thru some thai dude called Pittipong or as bonks would call him "Pretty bonks". Then while berge and bonks were busy staring at some male cheerleader, Alexander Duric levelled with a predatory strike not unlike that of Van Nistelrooy. Then SAFFC scored again when Noor Ali(whos like 3 heads shorter than Duric) was pulled down in the area.
Then Pittipong went crazy and like went thru 4 SAFFC defenders to shoot past Adi Saleh in the SAFFC goal who sadly like touched the ball 3 times in the entire match(all 3 times to pick the ball up from the back of the net). Apparently John WIlkinson then scored another goal in identical fashion but i din see cos i was distracted by two small boys playing with a rubber ball at the steps below us. SAFFC needed to win to keep their title hopes alive and this was reflected by the SAFFC dude behind us who started shouting damn loudly at the referee.(both me and bereg concluded that he betted on the match)
Anyway in the end duric only managed to score one more so they bid farewell to their title hopes. In all it was a damn nice match with good displays of skill, espcially by the Nigerian guy in SAFFC called Greg Nwokolo whos damn good at dribbling.
Moral of the story? Go watch an Sleague match one of these days, you wont regret it cos its really worth it supporting SIngapore soccer. Just dont go watch Paya Lebar or SInchi or sthg like that and you'll probably enjoy it.

weird injuries
Freak injury rules out Hammers keeper Carroll
West Ham goalkeeper Roy Carroll has been ruled out of Sunday's Premiership clash with Middlesbrough after injuring his knee in a freak training-ground accident.
The Northern Ireland international was collecting balls from a goal when his foot was caught in the net, leading to the problem and giving Shaka Hislop his first start of the season following his return to Upton Park from Portsmouth in the summer.
Stephen Bywater has also been recalled from his loan spell at Coventry as cover for Hislop, while at the other end of the pitch Jeremie Aliadiere will not be in the squad as the on-loan Arsenal forward, continues his recovery from a hernia operation.
Here we look at some other bizarre injuries sustained by players over the years.
RIO FERDINAND: During his spell at Leeds the England defender managed to pick up a tendon strain in his knee watching television. Ferdinand had his foot up on a coffee table for a number of hours and ended up injuring a tendon behind his knee.
RICHARD WRIGHT: The Everton goalkeeper faced most of the summer on the sidelines after damaging his shoulder falling through a loft as he was trying to pack away his suitcases.
SEAN FLYNN: The then Kidderminster captain suffered a broken nose, busted lip and bruised toes after tripping over his son's toy cars.
DAVE BEASANT: The veteran goalkeeper managed to rule himself out for eight weeks in 1993 when he dropped a bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon in his big toe.
SANTIAGO CANIZARES: The Spain goalkeeper missed the 2002 World Cup after accidentally shattering a bottle of aftershave in his hotel sink. A piece of glass fell on his foot, severing a tendon in his big toe.
KASEY KELLER: The American international knocked out his front teeth while pulling his golf clubs out of the boot of his car.
ALAN WRIGHT: The diminutive former Aston Villa full-back strained his knee by stretching to reach the accelerator in his new Ferrari. He subsequently swapped the sports car for a Rover 416.
DAVID JAMES: The England goalkeeper once pulled a muscle in his back when reaching for the television remote control and the keen angler also tweaked his shoulder when trying to land a monster carp.
STEVE MORROW: The former Northern Ireland defender broke his collarbone after falling off the shoulders of Tony Adams while celebrating the 1993 League Cup final win against Sheffield Wednesday.
ALEX STEPNEY: In 1975 the Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney dislocated his jaw while shouting at his defenders during a match against Birmingham.
CHIC BRODIE: The Brentford goalkeeper's career came to an abrupt end in October 1970 when he collided with a sheepdog which had run onto the pitch. Brodie shattered his kneecap while the dog got the ball. ``The dog might have been a small one, but it just happened to be a solid one,'' he reflected.
SVEIN GRONDALEN: The Norway defender had to withdraw from an international during the 1970s after colliding with a moose while out jogging.
ALAN MULLERY: The England star missed the 1964 tour of South America after injuring his back while brushing his teeth.
DAVID BATTY: The former Leeds and Blackburn midfielder managed to re-injure his Achilles tendon when he was run over by his toddler on a tricycle.
DARREN BARNARD: The former Barnsley midfielder was sidelined for five months with a torn knee ligament after he slipped in a puddle of his puppy's urine on the kitchen floor.
LEE HODGES: The then Barnet player slipped on a bar of soap in the shower and wrenched his groin.
CHARLIE GEORGE: Arsenal's 1971 FA Cup hero managed to cut off his toe with a lawnmower.
MISTAR: The Indonesian footballer was killed aged just 25 by a stampede of pigs which overran his team's training pitch in 1995.

why gp should be abolished
1. because it requires you to explain the answer damn specifically to the point where its quite pointless. Like how they ask you whats the irony in this statement blah blah blah. wth its ironic cos its ironic la in the real world who in the right frame of mind would ask you to explain an ironic sentence.
2. because the stupid marking teacher thinks that only amatuers can take part in the olympics and thus denied us of our 45/50 for berge's,teo's and my brilliantly written professional sport essay.
3. because its so bloody hard to get an a
5. cos not all of us want to be lawyers when we grow up.
6. cos poor people like kai dunno the meaning of controversial
7. cos poor people like angst dunno the meaning of crack
8. because i got lower than chinks

its over
and just as everyone says it doesnt really feel like its over. for some reason the promos din really feel like exams at all but im not complaining. and now we have a grand total of 3 more days to relax before we have to go back to school for pw and more lectures and tutorials. fantastic.
Anyway, in these 3 days since the end of promos i havent really done anything. Not used to going home and realising that I'm not obliged to take out a file and start mugging it lol. And theres nothing much to do at home other than play pes/watch movies so im getting bored. We should all get out and go play soccer or sthg yea.
Watched goal on thursday despite my strong insistence on watching corpse bride. Goal was alrite..the soccer was more realistic for sure, and like 1/3 of it consisted of EPL footage. The plot was a bit unbelievable tho, unless you have Yorke's skill or something u dun get into the first team like 2 months after going for trials lol.
Then after econs mcq on friday went to cine where we watched into the blue. It was a rubbish show wif the exception of Jessica Alba, and of course i would rather have watched corpse bride for its deep plot but no the horny berge/hanxu and chinks decided that they would prefer into the blue. In the end we had fun watching teh shark bite off half of Ashley Scotts leg and some nice Alba scenes.
Aha and speaking about horny I haven even mentioned Angst. Hes the reason why we spent like 1 hr wandering ard Cine. Check out team-b for more details.
And yesterday I had my taekwondo grading! Went fine.. I wasnt too nervous or anything just that in the middle of one of my 360 degrees jumping turning kick i forgot the direction i was supposed to kick at and just stood there for a split second..
While i was waiting together wif all the other candidates there was sum super super weird guy sitting in front of me. He kept tapping the guy beside him and asking him "pattern no 7??(Then he would make a number 7 sign wif his 2 hands and push it into the guys face) The block is like that? or like that?" and all sorts of weird qns. In the end the guy got fedup and stopped answering him. And so he turned around and started asking me instead. After like 5 minutes i was super sian so i just nodded at everything he said. Then after the guy in charge gathered us and said good morning before the briefing, that weirdo actually shouted "good morning!" Like wth?? so anyway we started saying the taekwondo pledge and of course the weirdo was like speaking at full volume amongst all of us who were more like muttering.
Then we prepared to spar. So that weirdo's group was preparing and he got up and started kicking left and right while everyone was giving him weird stares. Then he started making a damn fierce face, baring his teeth and chopping the air. And in the middle of that he almost hit one of the helpers who proceeded to give him one of the weirdest looks Ive ever seen lol.
Ah and thats what happened over this few days now that the promos are over i promise to blog a lot more definitely more than the lazy pong.

Sydney FC storm back to clinch points in Perth
tribalfootball.com - October 2, 2005
Sydney FC stormed back from being a goal down at halftime to win at Perth Glory 2-1 in front of the biggest crowd of the season for Members Equity stadium.
Almost 14,000 fans saw Bobby Despotovski nod Glory ahead just before halftime after a fizzing cross from the impressive Jamie Coyne.
The Glory could have gone 2-0 up before the break, but former Middlesbrough centre-forward Brian Deane hooked his effort over Sydney's crossbar.
Sydney were level only minutes into the second-half as Sasho Petrovski took advantage of a mad scramble in Glory's area following a free-kick. It was Petrovski's first goal since his call-up for Australia's World Cup qualifying squad last month.
Strike-partner Dwight Yorke joined Despotovski at the top the A-League's scoring charts with his fourth of the season as he FINISHED SUPERBLY with 25 minutes remaining to make it two wins on the bounce for Sydney away from Aussie stadium.
"I think we played as a unit and we saw a real team today," Sydney coach Pierre Littbarski told AAP. "I told people we needed four or five games to get a rhythm - now we have found our formation."

Queensland Roar fans love Yorke
tribalfootball.com - September 26, 2005
While Queensland Roar officials cranked up the State of Origin rivalry with Sydney FC, there was no mistaking who the record crowd came out to see on Friday night.

Sydney striker and captain for the evening Dwight Yorke didn't reach the visitors dressing room at Suncorp stadium until 35 minutes after the final whistle as he happily signed autographs for scores of fans - young and old alike.
"I'm happy to do it," said Yorke as he made sure everyone who wanted his signature received it. Even once he was in the changerooms, officials held him up from getting changed with armfuls of thunder sticks to sign.
"No problem, I'll do it now," replied Yorke, who without any protection from the referee had been kicked from pillar to post by the Roar players.

Sydney coach Littbarski: More to come from Yorke
tribalfootball.com - October 1, 2005
Sydney FC Coach Pierre Littbarski has sent out an ominous warning to the other seven Hyundai A-League clubs by declaring the in form Dwight Yorke is yet to reach his potential in a Sydney FC shirt.
Yorke has proved his worth already in the A-League, scoring three goals in four matches, and has also thrown himself into his work, illustrated by his effort in setting up Andrew Packer for the opening goal against the Central Coast two weeks ago.
Get your Free Screensavers now!
Critics of bringing the former Manchester United striker to Australia have fallen silent but Littbarski believes he will get even better.
"I think we will see an even better Dwight Yorke in the coming weeks and matches," Littbarski said. "When he came to us he had not played a lot of matches and he had to work very hard on his fitness, which he has done.
"He has been doing well but I think we have not seen the best of Dwight yet. We are just starting to learn to play better as a team and we showed a lot of improvement against Queensland (Roar) last weekend.
"When we improve as a team he will be better also."
Yorke will take his place in an unchanged Sydney FC line up for tomorrow night's (Saturday) clash with Perth Glory at Members Equity Stadium.
