First of all, a hearty congratulations to Manchester City. Finally a cup final and probably the cup itself will ease down the pressure on the big money spenders. What made me congratulate City? It is due to the sheer annoying press conferences given by the United team members. Every press conference they have to take a dig at someone or talk about how they are better than the rest. Sometimes you have to be humble to gain respect and hence they arent respected on or off the field by most of the teams. Take for example degrading City in the pre press conference only to eat their words later. And when you lose, you order a complete blackout of the media. So much for maturity.
It looks as if Chelsea's reign of supremacy is almost over this year. They started out as untouchables and are ending up half what the champions look like. Wilkins (believe it or not) has been the reason for their downfall, while Torres is the right man at a very wrong time for the Blues. The moment he scores and everyone is going to talk about him being the successor to Drogba. However until he atleast scores 20 plus next season, he will be just another striker. However sacking Ancelloti isn't the solution; consistency is. Keep him for another year cause anyways nobody is going to give instant results at a time when the younger teams are rising out of their ashes and stealing the spotlight. Blackpool and Bolton just goes to show the passion necessary in the world of football.
The big match will start in a few hours and two teams will clash like their entire life depends upon it. Both have different personalities, both have so much to give and achieve. Arsenal have stuck by their ethics and philosophy but its time to present the fans with something that they have been patient for a very long time. Its time to show the fans that a great team doesnt have to have a tag of chokers at the end of every season and bring a trophy home. Liverpool have been breathtaking ever since the arrival of Kenny Dalglish. His presence brings out the best in everybody: from the players and the fans. A passionate group of players that i think could have achieved so much more if Dalglish would have arrived at the start of the season. Nevertheless i feel that a small slip up by City or Spurs and they would be smelling blood in no time...
Enjoy the game tonight....
For the love of the Game
