The crown for the English Premier League is coming down to the wire. There are only 2 games left and only 1 out of 2 possible winners; the greatest club in the world Manchester United or cash-cow-club-that-could-only-win-since-they-spent-a-billion-pounds-on-players Chelsea.

This season could very well be the most interesting yet. Even those that don’t follow the EPL must’ve heard people talking about who’s gonna win it this year. So for the benefit of the those that are interested to know what is going on, here is a quick run down.

The English Premier League is, well, a league. They play a total of 38 games from July to May the following year, then they take the whole of June off and start the new league in July again. When a team wins a game, they get 3 points. If teams draw they get a point. If a team loses, they get no points. Simple right?

Take a look at the above league table. Below is a legend of what each and every column means:

P = games played

W = games won

D = games drawn

L = games lost

GS = goals scored

GA = goals against or how many goals conceded

GD = goal difference (GS minus GA)

Pts = total points accumulated

As you can see the title race for number one is between Chelsea and Manchester United. There’s only 1 point separating Chelsea from Manchester United and there are 2 more games to be played with a total of 6 points up for grabs. If Chelsea wins their remaining 2 games, they will win the title. If Manchester United have any hope of winning the title for a record breaking 4th consecutive title and a total of 19 league wins, we need Chelsea to at least either draw or lose one of their games. That is also assuming Manchester United must win their last 2 games.

This is where it gets really interesting. Manchester United have won 18 league titles to date, sharing the record with Liverpool who has also won the league 18 times. If Manchester United win this year, they would be the best English Premier League club with 19 league titles on record, however, that’s not to say Manchester United isn’t already the best in the world. Chelsea is quite insignificant in this, they just started winning a few years back when some rich Russian pimp bought over the club and started pumping in hundreds of millions to buy players. So the question remains,

Will Liverpool lose on purpose to Chelsea?

Tomorrow at 8.30 GMT+8 Liverpool is playing against Chelsea at Liverpool’s home ground Anfield. Then at 10.30 GMT+8 Manchester United will take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Lights (Sunderland’s home ground). There are mixed reactions as to whether Liverpool will lose the game on purpose. Some say Liverpool will and should lose the game so Manchester United won’t go one up to 19 league titles. Also considering the fact that Liverpool and Manchester United are fierce rivals, there are no love or favours between the two.

The conspiracy gets better, Liverpool have recently appointed Martin Broughton as chairman of Liverpool. Martin Broughton is a season ticket holder and a huge fan of Chelsea. So we wonder…

If you take a look again at the league table above, you will notice that number 1 to number 4 is in green, 5 to 7 is in grey then 8 to 17 is in white and 18 to 20 is in pink. Here is what it means…

1 to 4 = able to play in Champions League

5 to 7 = able to play in the Europa League

8 to 17 = mid table, nothing interesting there

18 to 20 = teams that will get relegated to the bottom division next season

Champions League is the most prestigious club in Europe because only the top 4 teams in Europe leagues get to play in it. That’s the league where you get to see the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and AC Milan to name a few, play against each other. Why is the Champions League important? Bragging rights and money from TV revenues and sponsorship of course.

Then you have the Europa League. The winner gets revenue from TV and sponsorships and bragging rights to being the best of the worst in Europe. It’s not much but still better than ending up with nothing right?

So if you look at the table above, Liverpool is fighting for an Europa League spot with Everton. The title race is too tight this year. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal would be looking to strengthen their teams for next season. With Liverpool out of the Champions League for next season, they are sure to lose a few of their key players that will want to play in the Champions League. So I doubt Liverpool can even challenge for the EPL next season. Their best bet would be to try for the Europa League, FA cup and the Mickey Mouse cup. So the question again…

Will Liverpool lose on purpose to Chelsea?

The question remains to be seen tomorrow. On one hand it seems like Liverpool has nothing to play for but on the other hand it seems like they have everything to play for. Either way, the pride of the club is at stake and almost certainly fucked whatever the outcome. All this said and done, the mother of all question still remains… is Liverpool even good enough to beat or at least draw with Chelsea?

The biggest question in the football world right now is why was Nani and Evra puking yesterday during the game with Tottenham. If you watched the game you would have noticed that Evra puked first. It’s weird cause when he puked he only puked water. Don’t they eat anything before games? I guess not. If I was puking I would have puked a cheese burger or something.

Anyway a reliable source from Old Trafford gave me the scoop on what happened. Read on and find out what actually happened.

Note: Before you read the spoiler at the bottom you have to watch this entry first or you won’t understand.

About 3 hours ago, the most talked about and most hyped up derby game in the EPL just ended. The game was between Manchester United and Manchester City. United happened to be the best team in the world and City happened to be some team in Manchester.

Manchester United sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid and lost Carlos Tevez whom coincidentally joined Manchester City this season. While United lost good players, City spent about 200 million strengthening their squad.

After spending so much money buying 9 strikers, they forgot to save some money. City should have saved some money and bought themselves a clue. Obviously City has no clue how to beat United. The whole of second half was played on City’s half.

The end result was 4-3 in favour of United of course. The winning goal was scored by Michael Owen. I don’t really have anything to say about that except that I hope he scores more winning goals because Berbatov is a real dumb shit.

There was a star among the audience and after the game Mark Hughes was so disappointed he put on a disguise and escaped with the star. He tried to hide but I saw him!

Due to some terrorists bombing Jakarta, Manchester United cancelled their visit there and stay in Malaysia for an additional 4 days and played another game with the Malaysian Selection. It was unfortunate that some people died in the bombings and many got hurt. But I have to thank my lucky stars that Manchester United decided to stay in Malaysia and play an extra game rather than shoot off to the H1N1 capital of the world – Australia. If you haven’t read the Manchester United training blog entry, you should read that first. Click here to read.

We reached there about 5.30 PM. The game was scheduled to start at 8.45 PM. So we went hunting for some food.

Quite a lot of people were already there

Dawn and Fawked waiting in line.

Layzebone and Fawked.

Dawn feeling bored and cam whoring with my breast…

 

At 6 PM sharp the gates were opened and we went in. The seats filled up quickly. I had to sit quite far back as the front rows were all taken. While waiting for the game to start I was on the look out for people wearing rival jersey’s. This time I was not disappointed! Not only did quite a few Liverfool and ARSEnal fans turn up, the Man United fans jeered them in unison and shouts of “Buka! Buka! Buka!” could be heard. Buka means to open or remove, in this case meaning take off the rival jerseys.

Then suddenly among the chaos, I saw somebody… I couldn’t believe my eyes…

Apparently somebody forgot to tell him Adebayor left for Man City. His Adebayor look alike look is quite out-dated.

 

We Malaysian’s are a really civilized lot. We didn’t kill or hang any rivals yesterday. We just boo’ed them and made fun of them. Some even made them carry up the Manchester United scarf and admit defeat. So it was all good and clean fun. Everybody looked like they enjoyed themselves thoroughly even before the game started.

This guy pops up every once in a while and starts shouting something while holding the poster and his balloon pitch fork.

Couple of guys painted their faces. I think they are from a band called Slipknot. I’m not sure, I could be wrong. I included a picture below for your comparison.

But the best face goes to no other than… Layzebone!

Somehow I feel he bought the wrong kind of paint.

FACE OFF

After waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. Finally the teams came out for warm up. That lasted for about 30 minutes. Dawn was already complaining about her ass hurting from sitting too long. Everybody around started to stink from sweating… ahhh the smell of a packed section of the stadium. At 8.45 PM the starting line up came out and got ready for the match. Before the match started we observed a minute of silence for the lives lost in Jakarta bombings. I was a little bit disappointed because it was not total silence. For a stadium that only had about 30,000 out of 100,000 spectators the amount of hooligans making noise during the silent period was very shameful.

Manchester United starting line up.

Getting ready to start.

Really getting ready to start.

And it finally starts!

I didn’t take much pictures during the game. I was busy watching the game. I wasn’t about to watch the game through my 3inch LCD on my Panasonic TZ7 Digital Camera. But luckily thanks to its awesome 12X Optical Zoom, I could take better pictures than the normal digi cams.

Sir Alex Ferguson chilling out.

Wayne Rooney wasn’t on the starting line up. And on the 2nd half the fans started chanting his name and he finally came on. A few minutes after Rooney came out he had a clear chance at goal but he kicked it wide off the mark. I think he got a little frustrated or maybe somebody forgot to mention to him that this was a friendly. He ass bumped a player and that guy went flying. I swear I’ve never seen somebody fly so far after bumping into another human. He looked like a bus hit him.

The ref giving Rooney a little talking to after the incident.

 

Manchester United made a bunch of substitutions and so did Malaysia. But when it was time for a Malaysian player named Sabrie to make his entrance, he was welcomed by a mixture of boos and cheers and some “Why la put Sabrie?” This was almost towards the end of the game and my section had quite a good laugh cause a couple of guys behind us were real comedians. They were shouting some really funny instructions to Sabrie.

A little after that we left. The game ended 2-0. I was hoping to see about 10 goals scored in between them. But still it was better than nothing. Will have to wait for another 10 years before I get to see them play against Malaysia again. Hopefully by that time Malaysia can do a little bit better than now. At least we know they improved a bit, the last time they came we got our asses kicked six to nothing.
