The Post That Can't Let Go

Well, we have done it. The perfect sending off for Guus Hiddink. Beating Everton 2-1 to win the FA Cup was great, but we could've won more comfortably. Conceding a goal under half a minute certainly wasn't the best of starts, but the team known for its resilience played its way out of a mess and eventually ended up deserved winners.

Personally, I felt Lampard deserved to be Man of the Match, rather than Ashley Cole. Lampard also didn't deserve that yellow card for diving, simply because Frank Lampard does not dive. Should've been a penalty, but whatever. More calls for video referreeing will be made tomorrow morning as well, seeing that Malouda's shot from 35 yards crossed the line via the crossbar, although it is a wonder how he missed the goal completely from 5 yards out.

But anyway, it's great to have won some silverware after the season's disappointment. Hopefully Ancelotti will be a great manager, if he does come to Chelsea. As for now, thank you Guus for what you have done. Hope to see you prowling the Stamford Bridge touchline again, one day.

The Post That Does Not Pick Its Nose In Public

Poor bloggie, been neglected by me for... two months? Almost two months anyway. Around two months. Long time. Do I miss bloggie? Maybe. Been thinking about bloggie for awhile, whether or not I should put up a post. So here, after two months(-ish), a new post. Long awaited post. Is it? Can't be long awaited if nobody was waiting for it. Doubt anyone reads this now, but still, I post. Because I can.

Lol.

Anyway, I turned 18 six days ago. I've got my car down in Melbourne. I've successfully moved into my new apartment overlooking Albert Park. I just need to get some drawers and maybe a little cupboard and my room will be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Got all my posters up, only the Periodic Table of Sex isn't sticking up properly. Damn UHU Blu-tak. Found a card on my car advertising AusAlfa.com. Turns out to be a forum for Alfa Romeo drivers. I join it. Finds a voyeur photo of my car parked in uni. World is small.

Anyway, I'm sitting here literally watching paint dry while looking at the Arsenal vs Chelsea Gamecast live on Soccernet. Currently the clock is around the 65th minute mark and Chelsea have run Arsenal riot. It's currently 3-nil to the Boys in Blue courtesy of an Alex header, an Anelka long-ranger and a Kolo Toure own goal. You can imagine I'm rather happy about this, although I'd really prefer it if I could watch this live.

As for the part about watching paint dry... yes it's true. As a result of me not being too bothered about my Behavioural Studies essay (which I should be), I decided to start earlier on my design project. I have painted what will become a mailbox in a mixture of glossy varnish and a metallic powder thing. I assume it will require three coats of that mixture. Unfortunately it takes ages to dry and the fumes from the varnish is making me really light headed. Also I used a fair bit of UHU to glue the bits together so you can imagine what a paradise this would be to a sniffer.

(Game update: Niklas Bendtner [of all people] has pulled one back for ArseAnal. Score: ArseAnal 1-3 Chelsea)

I'm actually writing this post over 2 days. I got lazy typing it up, so I stopped until tonight. Or this morning, as it is 2.33am at the moment. I had also typed up a review about my Alfa, but I haven't included it here as I don't think anyone would bother to read it. I also got bored after awhile.

Game's pretty even now. 13 shots, 3 on target each. 50/50 possession. Adebaywhore just dived. I'll probably keep typing until the end of the match, then I'll get some sleep. It's nice to have a German "study week". It means I have no class on Monday, and my Tuesday hours will be reduced by 3 hours. 5 hours less of German altogether. We just made our first change, by the way: Ivanovic on for Bosingwa.

I've just gone and put my mailbox on the balcony. Those varnish fumes are driving me crazy! Which got me to thinking... this post is starting to read like a Tweet on Twitter. It's the last 10 minutes of the match and Arsenal seem to be piling pressure onto the Chelsea defence. I can't really tell, obviously, because I'm just looking at the match stats and live commentary.

86th minute and a GOAL for Chelsea. Malouda is put through by Lampard and Fabianski saves his first effort, then Anelka's follow-up hits the post and falls at the feet of Malouda who makes no mistake (words from Soccernet Live Commentary).

Things are looking grim for ArseAnal while Chelsea continue to put pressure on Liverpoo in second place. The ArseAnal fans are leaving the Emirates while Ballack comes on to replace Malouda, who has found his form under legendary manager Guus Hiddink.

2 minutes are added on.

And it's full time! Chelsea defeat London rivals ArseAnal 4-1 away at the Emirates. What an unbelievable way to bounce back after being knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona.

That's that and Chelsea record their biggest away win at Arsenal for 40 years. Arsenal complete a week to forget with another home thumping, while the Blues have all but wrapped up third spot in the league and automatic qualification for the Champions League group stages. Bye for now.
