A near maiden win...and Chelsea keep pressure on Devils

Alright...i've just came back from a football match and it ended 3-3. As much as i think it's harsh...i think my team did an excellent job. So firstly i want to congratulate all my players, if they come across my blog and read this. It was a game i felt strongly we would have and should have won...leading 3-0 up for 2 halfs and conceding 3 goals in the finally third is really something that shouldn't be happening. But nevertheless, i'll take the positives from it and that's everybody did their part...and a job well done. My goal-scorers Ryan , Raymond and Yew Gene all very well taken goal guys....Raymond's half-field goal will probably prompt Roman Abramovich to open his cheque book. And the head-line will go like this "Chelsea Billionare wants to sign Malaysian footballer for 50 million pounds after seeing video of player's half field goal." I don't really wanna get into details as i would probably take up the rest of my day to finish.

So i'll get from football to more football. Yesterday , defending league champions Chelsea played away at the Valley. The Blues were in decent form as they have kept 5 clean sheets in a row...alot down to the return of safety helmet wearing goalie Petr Cech. Fit-again skipper John Terry was left on the bench despite being declared fit to play. The game ended 0-1 to Chelsea courtesy of a Frank Lampard strike in the 18th minute. The England midfielder has taken his goal tally in the Premier League to 10 goals now...and is the club's 2nd league scorer behind the inform Didier Drogba. A real intention grabber for me would however be Ukrainenian striker Andrei Shevchenko....the once European player of the year...has really found it hard to strike goal in the Premier League since his 30 million pound move from AC milan. The striker once again Fired blanks again Charlton. But signs of a goal drought ending seems nearing...but until a certain extent you can only sympatize his luck...the reactions after missing chance again and again...makes you really "kesian him" as we say it in Malaysia.

The goal scored by Frank Lampard was much owed to the presistent-ness (if there's such a word) of Andrei Shevchenko...he hurried and push Amdy Faye into making a mistake before poking the ball to Frank Lampard who gracefully just slotted the ball into the bottom corner. I was wondering what muz be going through Shevchenko's mind. - I take shot after shot...right foot , left foot , header, and any other part of my body...no goal...i give one past to Lampard ...he takes one shot and goal. I really wonder how muz he be feeling right now. I think the corner will turn for Shev..and i hope it comes sooner rather than later for him. Because talent in a player doesn't disappear ...it comes naturally. And for someone who has scored that many goals in his life....to be firing blanks time after time is just not right.

Enough about the attacking end. The defence looked much stronger and Wayne Bridge filling in for the self-injured Ashley Cole ..showed that he is no fit replacement for the England 1st choice left back as he is just every-bit as Cole. Cole on the other hand as continued the trend on Arsenal leavers bad-luck. Not until Ryan mentioned this i wouldn't have realized. All players who leave Arsenal usually have bad luck with their future Careers checkout Pires , Cole , Manninger (bet u haven't even heard of him)....Petr Cech in goal shows that the safety helmet is only an object..but it does no harm in performance terms. The giant Czech saved the blues not once but twice at least...(cause that's all i could remember)..both from Amdy Faye....it was a goal scoring opportunity but their attempts were foiled.

Anyway, that's all for today..i'm resting my worn out legs...and let's hope MU slip up against Spurs....Yin sern , Raymond....Spurs BOLEH!!

Signing off,
