Football Season is back!!!


Been a while. Perfect timing for work to reduce significantly and for football season to begin.

Liverpool 1 Sunderland 1.

I expected a home win to open our campaign but that was not to be. We played the best first half of all teams that played during the weekend yet had only 1 goal to account for. It could have been 3 or 4 easily.

Firstly, Suarez should have composed himself before taking the penalty OR Adam who normally takes penalties should have taken it. 1-0.

Suarez made amends 7mins later with a header from a Adam's cross. 2-0.



Carroll's disallowed goal should have been a goal as the foul was non-existent. 3-0.

Lastly, maybe i'm pushing it a bit but Downing's run-and-shot which banged the crossbar should have made it 4-0.

Then and there it would have been game over. Steve Bruce and his Man U B squad can start preparing for the next game.



But this is in my dream world. Reality check; Larsson scores an equalizer and points are shared. Flanno is partially to blame but the lad did well the entire game.



Yellow Card count: Carra, Adam, Henderson & Kuyt carded.

Moving forward, Arsenal away at 7.45pm. Would I keep the same squad? No. I'd start Kelly instead of Flanno and Kuyt instead of Hendo.

On paper, Arsenal without Cesc (Barca player now), Gervinho (red-carded) and Samir Nasri (Most likely gone to City) we should win but we have been know to expect a lot from Liverpool.

My prediction. Play like we did in the first half and we'll win. 2-0.

Come on you Reds!!! Time to kick start our season.



~We can win it!

Wah!!! Up so early to post this? U missed 1 more possible goal. Lucas breaking through the middle... Lucas!!!

How Bro? We make a punt, maybe 15-1 for Lucas to score that way? I think will happen this season ;)

You got to be kidding me right? Lucas to score from breaking out through the middle?
