Three Kings

Finally all three strikers scored (in the same match!). What a huge sigh of relief for the Devils and their worshippers. It's a good vibe. This should be the case all the time. Stay united.
The expression by each striker after scoring tells it all;
Rooney was waiting for his 100th goal: the hunger for more goals were apparent alright. That's good to know.

Berbatov had similar expressions but you could tell he really wanted to show to the fans and the Gaffer that he can make a difference to the team: You could tell during the match he had his own set of ideas when United were on the break. But he no longer plays the role he used to back at Tottenham - can't blame him. He knows his strengths.

Owen looked really happy after his goal. It was a big one. First Premier League goal as a Devil and it was executed brilliantly: I really liked the connection between Owen and Nani for that goal. The connection was spot on and the way Nani set Owen up? Marvellous. It also proves Owen still has a knack for creating space away from the marker and strike. Another point Owen proved tonight is that he can still deliver the blow. Cool finish. Nice...

Like what the papers say;"The season isn't a sprint, it's a marathon". One game at a time but keep an eye for the finish line.

Although, their next trip will bring the best in both teams. One is at the summit of English football, the other; old rivals but with a fresh set of army. And they are hungry. They have been working really hard to get the connection between them over the past couple of seasons and this season may well prove their efforts. The Gunners have alreasy scored 10 in two, three matches? Are they are next in line to shake off that title.

This will be an exciting match of drama and competition.

shoulder blades just shifted

Recently I have been going through a series of events with mounting workload. Obviously I'm not the only one going through this. Yes, I know but what goes up must come down and this matter aint no different.

After plunging in oneself into the pile of assignments and deadline, and actually making it out in one piece, you feel a whole lot lighter. You feel alive. That's the best feeling. That's the beauty of finishing what you've started. But, it is also the benchmark of 'how do you take hold of this matter in the future'.

It's somewhat relates to the Barclay's Premier League. Let's talk about the one at the top. When you're on top, every other team wants to bring you down. Some will succeed, others will just have to try harder. Yes, those teams are persistent enough that it annoys you but those are the exact same feeling these lower teams are going through. "Why are they so persistent in being the top-dog?"

It all comes down to hunger and passion for the ultimate prize; to feel alive. So as soon as something is done, the next hunt should already be underway. Sounds tough and tiring but the future holds the benefits. If you don't do it now, when else will you do it?

Saying it is way easier than actually doing it. That's exactly what champions are made of.

senses fail

I was just thinking about what Suraya and I saw on the tele the other day. It was one of David Blaine's show. There was a scene where he performed a feat of staying underwater (god knows for how long) in a cannister that looks like a gigantic bubble. And it was on display so everyone had access to see him (it wouldn't have been a stunt if nobody was there to witness it).

Well it was impressive enough for him to stay submerged underwater for so long that his skin; especially his arms and feet were begining to look as if it was melting. Imagine a monster that lives under water. Now picture it's skin. That's what happened to him. But what frightened me the most was that he wasn't able to communicate with the outside world.

When you're underwater, your sense of hearing goes down the drain. Moreover when you're in an aquarium and you can see people around you but you can't here people talking, you can't hear their actions, no voices, no noise, no sound!

Shite, it's incredible that when you lose one part of your 5 senses, you become so vulnearble that you can lose 'it' at anytime.
