Liverpool 3 - 2 Gala
3-0 up and then a brace is scored within 10 minutes with an equaliser looking likely. a frighteningly familiar scenario for Liverpool fans indeed. fortunately, a reverse of another Turkish miracle involving the Reds did not occur.we should've sealed it at 3-0, but a discomfortingly error-prone Pepe Reina looked out of place between the posts. anyway, what a game by Crouch!
dropped for the last couple of games, he clinically scores 2 goals with the second being "a stunning acrobatic volley into the corner of the net". remember what he tried to do in the world cup against T&T, when he received a cross in the box and tried to take it on the volley but that went horribly wide?
well, he did the same thing, only this time, it ended up nestled in the corner of the net.
you can watch the goal on uefa.com's homepage as youtubers havent uploaded it yet.
i do realise i blog a lot on football, a lot on Liverpool..it's not like i don't have anything else to write about, but when interesting blog material strikes me during the day, i'll build the whole article in that grey slab of matter between my ears with a train of thoughts, then it'll leave my head long before i plant my butt in front of my com. so i end up blogging about Liverpool, cos everytime i go online, i'll check out football sites and be tempted to write something about 'em.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sigh.
you know how annoying it is sometimes people ask me questions, say, about physics or any study subject for that matter, and when i say i truly DON'T KNOW the answer, they stare at me unbelievingly as if i'm some cocky, selfish jerk who simply refuses to help them..you know how frustratingly annoying that is??
when i say i don't know the answer, i'm really do-not-know-a-damn-thing-CLUELESS, okay? just because i score in tests and exams doesn't mean i know a lot, i'm the kind that doesn't hit the books until the very last minute, meaning if you ask me anything about ANYTHING anytime before test/exam period, you probably know more than i do!
i'll help if i can, but more often than not, i can't.
and when i say something truthful yet be called a liar straight in the face without a moment's contemplation, it hurts...like a dagger stabbed right at the heart, from the front, from a person you'd expect to at least consider the validity, the genuineness of what is said..
maybe i babble too much nonsense for my own good, till the thin red line separating facts from blasphemy becomes blurred, like the boy who cried wolf i guess.
whoa, that was officialy a (i think the first ever?) personal, emo rant on this blog.
anyway, Liverpool won, so....whoopee doo da.

chickens can't fly
couldn't be a more emphatic victory over the team that was one spot behind us last season...3-0! Kuyt scores (again!), Riise does a repeat of the thunderbolt against CSKA London during the Community Shield, and another clean sheet at home.
Life's good as a red. i mean, what better way to bounce back from two succesive defeats than 2 succesive victories at home? being the best fans in the world that we are, Anfield will become a fortress once more.
Don't believe it? even Thierry Henry thinks we're the greatest..
"A kid asked me on Wednesday if I would have liked to play for another team," the Arsenal and France striker said yesterday. "Straight away I said Liverpool.
"First of all, I would have loved to play with Steven Gerrard and second I like the club and their fans. There's something about Anfield that you can't explain.
"I love it when you step out of the dressing-room and you see the Kop, the scarves, and [hear people] singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Just that, that would do it for me.
~a testimonial from one of the world's best..for full article, click here
watch us singing YNWA against Chelski in that famous UCL semi-final here. one of the best renditions by the Kop in recent years.
At the end of the storm, there's a golden sky, and the sweet silver song of a lark.
YNWA.
a lil' piece of news that grabbed my attention, Embrace might be breaking up!!
see article here.
i've fell in love with them ever since i heard Ashes and the rest of that album was awesome too..they're like an under-rated Coldplay but with better guitars, cool harmonica melodies and more anthemic choruses. heck, lead singer Danny McNamara is a close friend of Coldplay main man Chris Martin and even got a song penned by Chris on Out Of Nothing.
really hope this breaking-up business is pure bull, otherwise i would really miss those sing-along tunes.
oh yeah, pat (HE is NOT a gurl, jian), there's a forum on how to fix the choppy sound in iTunes 7 you mentioned. looks like you're not the only one experiencing the problems..go here for the remedy.
i know i'm jumping from topic to topic, but here's an unreleased Get A Mac ad.
and remember Marco-your-sister's-a-prostitue-Materazzi? well, that headbutt he took from Zizou not only made him infamous, he now has an ad from Nike, promoting his, er, chest power.
anybody know what that line in italian means?

walk on
xabi's back. xabi's back. wohoo.
he has been a lil' down in form since the start of the season, but with that incisive through ball to Finnan in the build up to the 1st goal and the 65-yard stunner (65 yards!), the Xabi of old is definitely, absolutely back.
i'll gladly point out that the last goal he scored for Liverpool was from the centre of the field too!
Kuyt finally opened his Liverpool goalscoring account with a well taken goal, the start of many more to come from the Dutch maestro, i believe..YNWA!

It's Showtime
Steve Jobs unveiled new iPods and iTunes 7 during Apple's Showtime event today.
The iPod now comes in 30GB and 80GB models at USD249 and USD349 respectively (which are the same old prices I think).
It's got a brighter screen and better battery life now and has got a brand new search feature.
Very handy cos I believe many users of iTunes like me frequently use its built-in searchbox to look for particularly elusive tracks. Always thought they should have had something similar in iPods. It's about time.
The "Completely Remastered" (that's their new tagline) iPod nanos now come in 5 colors with aluminium casings for a more scratch-free experience.
Just clip it on and go, the new iPod shuffle.
Supposedly the world's smallest digital music player, it's a badge of musical devotion.
The new search feature in iPods really leave me reeking with jealousy, but i have no regrets whatsoever on getting my Eleanor when I did. New tech stuff comes out every other day so it's just a matter of time before current technology becomes obsolete anyway.
On something else, Muse has released another music video from Black Holes and Revelations, following Supermassive Black Hole and Knights Of Cydonia, this time for their latest single, Starlight.

It's been out for sometime and rather embarassingly, i only heard about it from a PCD/Eminem-listening friend recently. What cutting down on internet time has cost me...hahah.

Crouch Is Phenomenal, Says McClaren
10 goals in 13 starts for England, who can beat that?
not to mention his goals in his two appearances for Liverpool so far this season..
i won't lie to you and say i never doubted his goalscoring ability, but now he's proved us all wrong, stand up for the man who Revels In Pressure, Peter Crouch!
