Today is supposedly a good day in terms of results for me. Arsenal win against Mourinho-less Chelsea. Fantastic, especially that Gallas scored and they kept a clean sheet. Arsenal is playing fantastic football and it is always nice to see them rewarded for their trouble. Hopefully they can get more British players just in case a rule comes along to save the ailing English team.
Man U win. I don't really care about them that much. I have a lot of Man U fan friends, so its good for them, but Liverpool...that is where the good news is. I'm sure Rafa will keep his job but now Everton are level on points with them. With about 10% or less of their investment and performing an equal of them even for half the season, it is a good thing for me. I still kind of felt edgy though, with a relatively tread thing line of creativity. Yakubu is scoring, but the source is always Arteta. He should really be in the Spain team by now. What a bad coach they have...
As for American Football, Pats win by a mere 10 points. That is quite discouraging, especially that Brady did not have a single TD pass today. Well, off days happen and he probably could make the cut in the last 2 games for the record. Of course, no one expects him to make that record to begin with. I think I like the down-to-earth style they have. They expect to lose some games and forgets all the hype around them to find the win, now, that is hard to beat for any team.
The sour time of the day was when I realized the score of the Pats game. Ryan, my roommate, had taken a bet with one of our colleagues for the Pats game. All is well with the hype. Not the snow. Nor the wind. Nor the fact that the Pats are favorites with a huge predicted margin and they only won by 10 points. Thats not a lot in a NFL game. That is like 2-1 in a football match since each touch down is 6+1 points. So he lost, but he still gets some joy from it. Local rivalry probably. Now, since I'm waiting for a fairy tale to finish with a similar fairytale ending, Tom Brady needs 5 TD passes to break a record, and they need to win another 5 games to be undefeated. A lot of stats, but hey, just play something sensible and beautiful. That's good for any game.
