Arsenal 0 - 0 Sunderland

If we go back to this season's premier league's results, whenever Manchester United have dropped points, Arsenal have followed them (though not in the same proportion). Arsenal have had a lot of chance this season to go back to the top of the table, but every time, I must say that they have skillfully (rather lack of skills) managed to loose it. Hats off to the team!!!!! Though the team is only partly to be blamed for the draw yesterday to Sunderland, the other part of the blame should go to the referee.... This was not the first occasion this season, they have done it time and time again this season. Right from losing the home derby match to drawing against Newcastle after scoring 4 goals!!!! Its been a special season for the Gunners, more so, if one looks at the backdrop of the trophy drought (its been almost 6 yrs, since they had won a trophy). They had a very good chance to make amends for all these by winning the carling cup, which they unfortunately lost to Birmingham city.....
"End justifies means" - doesnt seem to fit in for Arsenal..... Anybody who's a fan of Arsenal,is so because of the kinda game they play. But that doesnt seem to produce the desired result in the end, atleast till now this season...
Lets c how the season pans out for Arsenal considering that they still have to potential to win the remaining three trophies with big matches lined up in the coming week.... Against Barca on 8th march (Champions League), Man U on 12th march(F.A Cup) and the routine Premier League fixtures to follow..... Apart from this the most fixture that the Arsenal fans will be looking forward to is the Premier league clash at Anfield today between Man U and Liverpool..... Hope Man U drop 3 points, which will give Arsenal one more chance to narrow down the gap. ( But going by the past trend, Arsenal will also drop points, when Man U does so..... By law of averages that has to change, hope that happens in the immediate fixture)

World Cup is back on its feet!!!!

Whatta match it was!!!! Who wud have put their money on Ireland after England had reached a total in excess of 300? With all due credit to the way K O'Brien played yesterday they deserved to win it no doubt..... But looking this match from England's perspective, one has to say that they managed to somehow gift the match to their Irish counterparts.... Who in the world wud have thought that this Irish team is gonnu pull off such a miracle (It is indeed one). Anybody who had looked at the scoreboard at the end of 30 overs of the second wud say that 10/10 times England wud win it hands down... This upset is one of its kind, if we go back in time, all the upsets(non-test playing nations beating the test playing nations) that have happened so far (be it the 1983 world cup victory in which India beat WI, Kenya beating WI in 1996, Kenya beating the giants in 2003 world cup, Ireland beating Pakistan and Bangladesh..... the list goes on), the victory has been scripted with the minnows batting first posting some total and defending that..... This match is so special in that aspect and does it probably tell us something about the way cricket has evolved post the introduction of the T20s? It also probably tells us that the game is played more in the mind than on the ground..... The approach by the Irish team is summed up by what O'Brien said during his man of the match interview, he had 2 options before him, when he went out to bat - either he could have played the entire 50 overs and wud hav guided his team to somewhere around 220 or jus take a chance and see if it pays off. He chose the latter and it paid off.....
It was fantastic for the game for cricket..... And for those who were calling for the heads of the minnows had been made to eat their words..... It is these kinda results that makes the world cup ore interesting!!!!!
