Disappointing

August 17, 2009

It was a bad start to Liverpool’s 09/10 campaign yesterday when they lost to Spurs at White Hart Lane. I would call this a minor hiccup in our quest to win the league. It’s too early to tell whether the team will or will not cope with the loss of Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa, although I must say, Lucas is not exactly a good replacement for central midfield. Not that we have a choice; our little prince is still sidelined, but please, what do you know about raising our game, Lucas. I would definitely single him out as one of the worst players out there and the GerNando combo wasn’t exactly potent either. It didn’t help that our 2 central defenders clashed with each other, and at times, Torres looked like he was going to limp off the pitch :\

Nevertheless, we have Robbie Keane to thank for not banging a hat trick in the first half (kudos to Reina) and is there an age limit for linesman? Because apparently, Rafa thinks the fourth official is too young (hence too blind/dumb/immature to call for penalty/hand ball?) It’s pointless to cry foul over a robbed penalty or a slight handball, when you fielded a less than stellar first XI.

Lessons learnt in simple formula:

Yossi Benayoun > Ryan Babel (because we need a hustler, not a balloon chaser)

Official’s age > 26 years old (for Rafa to approve)

Kristian Nemeth > Andriy Voronin (shameless promotion here)

Daniel Ayala = ??? (thank God he came through)

Everton at the basement of the league table = good start to my week

On the bright side, at least we didn’t get our arses whooped by a team of median age 21.

Earlier this week, it was that £17million purchase of ex-Pompey, Glen Johnson (Rafa’s smoking up again), and today, 35-game unbeaten Spain’s shocking defeat to USA in the Confederations Cup. Wow how did that happen? Well apparently Coach Bradley attributed his success to shutting out midfield maestro Xavi Hernandez. How did he figure that one out…I say this win is a fluke. Let’s hope Roger Federer doesn’t crash out of Wimbledon now…

And more reasons to ditch Transformers 2.


Transformers 2

June 24, 2009

Spoilers ahead..oh what the hell, just keep reading why don’t you…

For 149 minutes, Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen was killing me softly with its tasteless humour (especially from the Witwickys), casual racism (jive-talking autobots, paranoid hispanic, short middle eastern), lack of a coherent storyline (building a machine to devour the sun?) and mindless explosions (guess that’s where most of the movie budget went). Someone should really put a stop to Michael Bay’s directorial career, and his shameless promotion of Bad Boys II. If it was up to me, the movie would have ended when Optimus Prime died (ok deep breaths), because in all honesty, I don’t remember checking my watch 4-5 times while watching a movie and feeling incredibly relieved when the show was finally over. It is even more mediocre than Balls of Fury and 30 Days of Night.

The only things to look forward to in T2 is the visual effects and for dudes, Megan Fox’s slow-mo runs + endless pouts.  Too bad there’s no Oscar category for that. Also, look out for the infamous bandaged left hand of Shia Labeouf, thanks to his drunk driving crash. And if you’re not confident of distinguishing the metals, then I would suggest doing your research first.

I say, skip the movie, wait for the dvd release and buy the toys. Oh wait, skip the dvd, get the soundtrack.
