you know what's the most irritating thing a football fan can ever get?
after 3-months-long wait for her favourite league (yes, the league that has the lousiest FA, and where there are more foreigners than locals at 54%-46% -and this is not a 0.5 odds- and clubs owned by rich people in the world who has nothing better to do), the English Premiership disappoints her greatly on its opening match day.
sunderland-tottenham was great. sunderland beat spurs 1-0 in the 90th minute thanks to michael chopra. but the whole game was fun to watch; sunderland was impressive, spurs needing to buck up.
then the 5 matches being played at 1500 GMT. derby led portsmouth in the 5th minute, and fought hard to draw 2-2. the other matches were mediocre. nothing exemplary. not even obafemi martins scoring twice for newcastle.
then the last match of the night. aston villa-liverpool was a total bore. i fell asleep halfway. then i managed to do my chemistry without bothering about the scoreline. then i ate chocolates. then i counted the stars. it was only then gareth barry missed his penalty, and steven gerrard swooped in to score one for the Reds in the 87th minute. thank god for ending my misery. oh yay.
total verdict for the day? the opening matches for the 07/08 EPL campaign bores me to death. carry on torturing me any further and i may just end up being a staunch follower of some unknown league in the world.
btw, S-league selection beat selangor selection 3-1. yay!
