"When you win it's happy days."
yeah, when you don't. i guess the feeling sucks.
yeah, the losing feeling does suck.
Arsenal finally fell to Barcalona, 2-1, in Paris.
The sad thing was, we were so close, so close...to winning the "holy grail".
Down to 10men after our goalkeeper was sent off for a silly challenge outside the box, i thought it was all over, we would be run down badly, especially with the class that barcalona had, Ronaldinho [THE best player in the world], Eto' and Deco.
Miraculously, we still managed to take the lead before half time, after a strong header above a hapless Barca defence.

In the 2nd half, they came at us badly. On the few times that we managed to hit them on the break, Henry spurned 3 guilt-edged chances. Had we been 2-0 up, it was truly game over. But they say in football, it's all about taking your chances, and we didn't. And Barca came roaring back with 15mins left. 15mins short, of the holy grail. Pre-match, everyone was talking about Henry and Ronaldinho, but they played poorly, sadly. It was a Barca sub that changed the match, and 2 goals in 5mins totally wrecked our hearts. Damn!

At the end of the day, people say that the referee was biased against Barca, but honestly, Barca deserved it la. We would surely have won if Henry worked his way passed the goalkeeper before tapping in, like he usually does. Tension or whatever, he always tried to hit it first time, and it did not work out at all. What a pity.

But it's ok. The 10men fought like heroes against the 11 of Barca. And i can say for sure, we gave them a much tougher challenge than Chelsea did with 10 men. Oh well, now it's time to look at the future. There's a great season ahead in the new stadium, and if Henry stays, I'm sure we can overcome Chelsea.

I think, when the second goal went in, it made me realise how much time i have wasted playing computer games and all. Watching football is so much more meaningful. [contradicting, lol]. Or any kind of sport la. Be it tennis or F1 or whatever. Its def so much more meaningful. Sigh, prob that's why my results have deteriorated so much. Besides, it's still salvageble la. gotta find some way to fix Amaths. and of course, the bewitched language that is English.

It has been an emotional week la. I am really mentally tired.

But it's not too bad, they were only the best I've ever had.
