Will Arsenal be the new champions?

This year's UEFA Champions League was quite interesting, to say the least. Definitely, there were no great matches as such. For me, most of the matches were either one-sided or it would seem that both the participating teams were just there to make the numbers. But, what interests me are the results. The results have been really interesting and barring Barca, no other team looked like they were playing Champions League. (pun intended)

But,I digress. Somehow, Arsenal managed to reach the semis playing their brand of bland football. When Pele was talking about the beautiful game, he sure never saw Arsenal playing. I agree that some of the new players like Fabregas and Reyes are exciting prospects. But, I never like the way Arsenal play. And don't get me started on Henry. I always believed that he never plays against big teams and I still stand by it. Maybe the opposing teams keep him on leash but great players always unleash themselves at the big stage. And that is the reason I don't think that Henry should be counted amongst the greats.

Again, I am moving from my first point. Thinking that Barca will reach the final, I would believe that Arsenal have a better chance of winning the Cup. Their defence is tight and if Campbell performs on the given day, I think they can keep a clean scoresheet. Now, it depends upon the strikers to score that one goal. And I think, that one goal will be enough.

And like last year, maybe the team placed fifth in the EPL would be crowned the European Champions.!!! Yeah, I know that theory sounds stupid but what the heck!


Waiting for the finals!!

@Kurt,

Good Promotion of your blog mate :-)Yeah, I know that only 3 ppl read your posts, so u need more readership mate..No Probs from my side :-)

And btw, I have said it before and I say it again, you don't have the exclusive rights over football. So, just CTC.

And yes, I believe that Arsenal will win. But, as you said probably their luck might just run out in the finals.

Lets see!!

Saw a video at the below linked blog. Real cool video which depicts a debate in a school in Pakistan. The debate is on the nuclear tests conducted by Pakistan. More such debates at the ground level and more interactions would help the coming generations to live in peace. Enough of my blabber. Below is the link. http://crawls.blogspot.com/2006/05/future-certainly-looks-promising.html/ Cheers, HP

First heard this song when Vinod asked me for a video of the song. And got hooked instantly. Green Day is one of the better new bands currently. Come to think of it, there are very few good bands going around. Or, should I say very few famous bands ruling the roost now. We have Coldplay, Matchbox 20,Arctic Monkey and a few others and these too are not like that they have universal appeal and whose songs stay on the top of the charts for long. Compare this situation with the ones in the 60's,70's and the 80's. Then, the bands that were famous like Beatles,Doors,U2,Pink Floyd and many such others had an universal appeal and they are still among the perennial favourites for ppl in colleges to do cover versions. Anyways, enough of my stupid ramblings. I dont even know what I am talking about. When I had decided to write a post about this, I had lots of things to say but now, I am feeling lazy, so I am just gonna post the lyrics for this song. Maybe, sometime later I will do a f
