Tottenham Sucks, and Van Nistlerooy is God!

It's been 2 weeks since I have decided that I would sleep at 10 and wake up at 5 - in an effort to change my lifestyle and, hopefully, life.

BUT ... damn these late-night football matches :)

Yesternight I stayed up to watch the Euro2008 star Pavlyuchenko and another Euro2008 star Modric combine to spank Aston Villa - but it wasn't meant to be. I personally feel that manager Ramos did a Ferguson - played an almost-new team. What followed was a higher degree of randomness - which was outclassed by O'Neil's organized formation of Villa. 

Worse still - Modric left the field injured in the first half. What a pity - Tottenham now hardly have a good midfielder to boast about. 

Over the weekend, I saw Real Madrid doing everything that they do best - and also everything that they do the worst. Conceding 3 goals against lowly Numancia (yes - you beat Barcelona, and you scare Real Madrid - but for me you will always be lowly unless you beat Valencia) shows how much they miss Cannovaro while proving that they cannot defend for nuts!

But one thing Real Madrid can surely do is - attack! They obviously weren't missing Robinho - and they will surely see Higuain and Van der Vaart scoring big time ... but the 'Real' surprise for me was to see Ruud van Nistlerooy, who was playing in a new role (in the hole), assisting in all the goals with beautiful touches and clever through-balls (while the 4th goal was an own goal).

Well - as is obvious from this useless post, I am happy that the football season back! Moreover, with Barcelona and ManU starting poorly, Valencia and Liverpool kicking it off in normal style, and Chelsea in roaring form, things seem to be pretty normal too.
