First of all. Where's the picture of the kop!! And dont say it got koped. Not funnie. :p
Went to town yesterday with ah neh and eman. Shopped for christmas gifts. I seriously didnt know what to get because nothing seemed good enough. Then we watched national treasure. It's quite a good movie. a lousier version of pirates of the caribbean. yeap but full of adventure. and a little bit draggy. Went to eat with the dasses. Ah neh's mum's treat. yay.
Anyways. I think football has been influenced by the term " laters! " this week. Let me cite 4 examples.
Southampton 2 Middlesbrough 2.
Southampton were 2-0 up courtesy to goals from kevin phillips and peter crouch. and were still 2-0 up after 88 minutes of 90 minutes played. Middlesbrough then had a corner. Taken by young starlet Stewart Downing. It was curled in and southampton defender danny higginbotham headed the ball into his own net. Then in the 92nd minute Downing picked up the ball, surged forward and smashed the ball into the net. 2-2. Southampton fans left distraught.
Manchester United 1 Fulham 1.
Man united dominated the WHOLE match with roy keane hitting the right post and wayne rooney hitting the left post and so many chances squandered like free one. although i must commend Alan Smith's goal for united. his shot was blocked initially he chased down that guy. slide tackled him. got up and scored. what commitment and hard work. =) but when PAPA BOUBA DIOP ( what a name ) picked up the ball from fulham and anyhow whack. i had a sinking feeling that it would go in. and it did!! it was a perfect strike from 35 yards out. and that cost my dearest united 2 points. seriously lah and im marrying her tmr.
Liverpool 1 Portsmouth 1.
Liverpool captain Stevie G scored for them in the 70th minute but a guy with 3 Ls in his name Lomano Lua Lua had to sink liverpool with a 92nd minute goal. well done.
Even the TIGER CUP south east asia's footballing competition produced late goals.
Philippines 2 Timor Leste 1.
The timor team thought they had victory wrapped up when dey were leading 1-0 for 89 minutes. and then bam! a goal by this guy called catilog or sth. put the score to 1-1 and den a minute later, he scored again!! philippines stole the victory with 2 goals in as many minutes. sheesh.
Anyway. im gonna eat my breakfast now. and take a bath. sooo laters! =)
