Of Parties and Sheer Delight

Currently listening to: Bed of Roses, Bon Jovi

Yesterday was a great day. It started with us attending a mooncake party at Juan Lyn's house. And I have to give my hats off to her cooking. Her mum was so proud of her. when the table was laden with food with not a square inch to spare, she was pointing at almost every bowl and plate saying, 'Juan Lyn did this and that....and that' haha she practically did dinner on her own! though she claims her maid helped her. Let's just give her all the credit shall we? We got together for an evening of fun. So the peeps who turned up were Gan, Jon, KT, Liz, SJ and Me. We had great food and great company. An evening of fun and lots of catching up to come with it.

So it was 9.30pm when I realised the liverpool vs man u match was in it's final 20 mins. We rushed to the living room and tuned in. It was 1-1 at that point with liverpool pressing all the way. I was like..Ok..we finally scored against Man u, lets turn it to a win. haha.. and win they did!
here's the cronicle of events which ultimately led to what i would say, ' The Fall of the Red Devils'
liverpool fans will love this..enjoy!

The game started very brightly for Man U as their new signing, berbatov tore down the left of the lierpool defence and then squaring the ball to an unmarked Carlos Tevez to rifle the opener home pass Reina's left.
Again we had our back against the fall. With no torres and gerrard in the early exchanges, three minutes gone , and our chances of recording a first league win over United since April 2004 were already severely dented. Just so you should know, liverpool's record against Man u is absolutely dismal. no goals against the red devils in almost 4 hours of football. That's not right. And with all the hype building around Manu victory, i just can't believe my eyes yesterday.

On the quarter hour mark, Xabi Alonso's 25-yard cross-cum-shot deflected off one United defender before a horrible spill from van der Sar sent the ball into the net off Brown's shin. That was the beginning of their own undoing.





Our new signing, no. 11 Albert Riera reeling off in delight as alonso and benayoun joined in.
Vidic putting his hands on his head, and we all know why he was sent off later in the match. A blatant elbow into alonso's face. The reds got their rest-bite and finally turn on the gears.

An ambitious run by javier mascherano bulldozed his way down the right and with sloppy defending by Giggs, Kuyt took the ball at the by-line, spotted the unmarked ryan babel and the outcome..




GOAL!!! took a deflection off the ground and looped over van der sar. look at him screaming. ohh poor guy. it's a terrible feeling being absolutely helpless. and even if the shoot didn't go through, keane would have cleaned it up.
So the score read 2-1 in favour of liverpool. I have to tell u, the look on the manu fans in the juan lyn's house was classic. shocked? but what's there to be so shocked bout? after all it's going to be a trend with liverpool winning. So might as well man u fans get used to it.

The final whistle came soon after, pity it had to end so on. or else it would have been 3-1? maybe 4-1. Kuyt blasting at the keeper from close range. So the final score was..



though man u fans might say..we don't have ronaldo, we lost carrick halfway and so on bla bla bla well u at least had an overpriced berbatov. playing 3 up front at the beginning was a gamble for ManU but it paid off with an early lead. But this is Anfield, a fortress. We didn't have our golden boy, torres and gerrard to start but what we have is a good enough squad with depth. liverpool is no longer a 1,2 man club. The title is coming to us much sooner rather than later.

Here are pics of the match..
