..as have been so busy sorting out stuff. Anyway to cut a LONG story short:
1) MU are still undefeated! We staged an amazing comeback during the Blackpool game, coming back from a deservedly 2-0 BP lead. I'm not even joking at how terrible MU were in the 1st half...I almost thought it was el clasico again (with MU = RM, of course). But MU are probably made of sterner stuff than Madrid (AND Blackpool aren't quite a Barca :P), and so managed to bounce back to win the game 3-2 in the last 25 mins (25 mins because we had 10mins added time) thanks to a brace from Berbatop sandwiching an equaliser from Hernandez. Next up, FA cup vs Southampton tomorrow at 5.15pm! Let's hope we get through this one.....
2) Adebayor has come to be our new #9! Obviously would have preferred RvN but Hamburg refused our offer. I'm frankly quite neutral to this...and actually look forward to seeing him play. On other news, Benz has scored our winners in the last 2 matches and I hope he improves further! There's a whiff of tiredness seeping through the team - and this has caused Mou to rotate his squad a bit more now. But the sad thing is, there are some players who are simply "unrest-able" or "untouchable" as Mou would put it. The match against Mallorca last weekend showed that a team without Xabi and Ozil were pretty toothless against a formidable opponent. We were so rubbish in the 1st half (yes, kaka IS still fat and shlow! =.=") but improved greatly in the 2nd when our 2 heroes came on. Their presence added to the fluidity and speed of the team - the passing improved greatly and Benz came up with the winner in the 60th minute! :D Anyway moving on, we faced Sevilla away on Weds in the 1st semifinal leg of the copa del rey - and we held on to win 1-0! If things can't get any tougher, we will face Osasuna away on Sunday - they are a tough team at home and are undergoing a rough patch now so I don't quite know how we'll do against a team fighting to survive the Liga. Furthermore, our core players have been playing on average 2 matches per week so I expect this to be very low scoring... (strange how pessimistic I am all of a sudden!). Even though CR7 hasn't scored in only 2-3 matches, it does feel like a lifetime indeed...
3) Bayern plays Werder tomorrow @ 2.30pm. MvB has left for Milan so Lahm is officially Bayern's captain! :D Anyway, the addition of Robben has indeed added a lot of to the table - and Muller is finding his form again! :D Ribery is still out til Feb.... It'll be a fun match - it always is vs Werder anyway :) We're still trying to get to the 2nd spot (considering Dortmund has virtually WON the league) so let's hope we plough on :D
Okie dokies, busy weekend for me - but hopefully fun as well!
