Barclays Premier League 07/08 Review

Dramas, controversies, shining stars and all...
Heck I'm so gonna enjoy this review after the seasoned performance from Manchester United. (I know Roland wont :O)

It all started with expectations, optimism and pressures to perform. The first few weeks started off rather awkwardly, with Wigan Athletic leading the league and Man Utd languishing 2nd from btm. It wasn't nice alright. That happened when we're all still in school havin Form 5. I remembered Roland and Jayme talked bout relegation troubles for Man Utd...yeah right...

Reality then started to set in. Man Utd reeled in 7 straight wins to move into the top four. Wigan? Gone jor...not even in the top half of the table. But there was this Man City team outperforming under Sven goran erricson....taking that 3rd spot for a long time. Man Utd lost in the manchester derby then, I got 'nice' comments from Roland and Jayme again. With Liverpool leading Arsenal in the league then, I tot i was gona strangle Jayme 1st b4 i go find Roland during recess that day...but Howard was a boy needed to be entertained so...(bonjour Howard!)

I can feel Howard's wraith here from Brisbane but waddaheck...

As the season continued...Man Utd found themselves vying for top spot with Arsenal. Liverpool? Aiyah...number 4 la hor Roland and Jayme? It's okay... :D Chelsea was then holding on 3rd spot, with Piggy nerdy face manager Avram Grant taking over from Jose Mourinho, they looked destined not to challenge for the title, or so i thought...
Chealsea, with 1-0 wins nonstop, BORING LAH!!!(go back Israel la Avram...)

Going into the Christmas break, Arsenal was still holding to the top spot. It was until a dude from Birmingham City decided to perform karate woodchopper kick before being relegated. Victim? Mr Eduardo-san(he's a Croat btw) That seemed to be the turning point of the season as Man Utd overtook Arsenal. I tot Man Utd was gona run away with the title then, without realising the Blue wave of Chelsea catching up gradually.

Last day of the season, Man Utd and Chelsea tied on 86 pts. With superior goal difference, it was all Red Devil's title to lose. Rather surprisingly, Jayme was behind me for this.(Due to the fact that he felt Chelsea knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League rather controversially). I wasn't sure how Roland wanted the title to go but with Man Utd having the chance to deal some PAINNN to Chelsea, why not Rol?XD

Of course la...Man Utd won the title, if not I wont be posting this :P. I'm happy, Jayme's happy, Roland's...happy. All was well!
Lately, Man Utd secured their double by beating Chelsea in the Champions League final. B4 the game, Jayme said he would support Man Utd. But then he said smth about Christiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick of own goals... so i was ...kinda puzzled.

Anyway, it was a season of NICENESS!! I certainly enjoyed the football and the chitchats with Jay and Rol on EPL throughout the season. Post-season now, it's time for EURO 2008 as posted by Rol. But Rol...where's England man?XD
P.S: Steve Mclaren was the most successful english manager to lead England to 2nd place in the EURO 2008 qualifyings in their group, thus failing to qualify for Austria and Switzerland. NVM! I think David Beckham rather go LA wif his wife...red carpet's better than green pitch yea? :D

Well...that's that folks! Till next time..... ZzzZZzzzzz
