OK, boys at the top more like it. After all, almost everyone dismissed them as being too young, too naïve, too inexperienced. If anything, I think they were too much in the shadow of Henry; so much so the mere mention of Arsenal would equate Henry and vice versa. But this is the very young green team which is now topping the EPL and it has not lost a game yet (OK, neither has Liverpool. Blackburn just lost their first match to Pompey and Newcastle to, shock of all shocks, Derby). I almost felt sorry for Derby (but Davies is a good man who could accept defeat unlike someone else who would just moan and blame another); they probably lack the funds to buy new players but then again, Arsenal isn’t known to be a major spender either.
Now, if only the team close on our heels isn’t ManU*e.
I didn’t watch ManU*e and Chels*** match because when two teams like that meet, well, it wouldn’t be a pleasant watch. And it turned out to be that. Chels*** got robbed of one player, two goals and three points. I wonder what Moan-rinho would have said and how he would have reacted after that match, had he still been around. But he had said plenty when he was in England. (Calling someone a voyeur, what cheek!).
Apart from the entertaining footie match on Saturday evening, the weekend was a mixture of retail therapy work-out, resting, reading and recovering on Sunday. I visited Pavilion, the new shopping magnet in BB [it opened on 20 September] and located right at the site of my primary school [sheesh. Didn’t the Ministry of Culture, Arts & Heritage say anything before the demolition of the school?!]. It was a hot, hot, hot Saturday alright before the blessed rain came on Sunday afternoon.

I haven’t mentioned about the brutal death of the child in this blog since the confirmation on Thursday. This doesn’t mean I’m trivialising the case - the death after all has shocked the locals and been published in many dailies and talked about since - or think footie is more important. It’s such a shame, not to mention disturbing, that we have such beast(s) amongst us. Please spare a prayer for her and I hope she didn’t die a painful death. And now I can understand why my parents have always been so overprotective of me, even at this age. Because it doesn’t matter how old one is to a sick pervert (even a grandmother was raped in this can-do land). It is a sick, dangerous world out there.
