Welcome to Paul's Weekly Balls, giving u the latest update of sporting action from ball games around the world! WOOOHOOO~~ starting with..... ZY's Favourite, TENNIS: Federer lost? are u kidding me?? beaten by Canas, ending his 41 winning streak. amazing. thats all for tennis.
Lets move on to my favourite, FUTBALL. A weekend of chills and spills, its fight or flight and do or die for the title contenders. will Manchester United crumble under pressure? or will Chelsea slip up against relegation contenders Watford? It all started off at Old Trafford. Man utd vs Blackburn. Derbyshire opens the scoring for Blackburn, against the run of play... what a dissapointment for the champion-elect. the first half ends in a 1-0 deficit against utd....... Out came the revitalised Utd side, second half started brightly for Man Utd, Ronaldo causing some major havoc from the left. and than it came. a great individual goal from PAUL scholes, side stepping 2 oncoming defenders. and when u see scholesy pull that trigger, there can only be one outcome, one place that ball will end up in, the back of the net! 1-1. the next thing u see is ronaldo tearing the left flank with his twinkle toes. 3 stepovers and left brett emerton on his backside, he cuts the ball back to rooney... but it evades rooney, only for Giggs to smash it onto the crossbar. argh!! nearly. the next highlight shows a familiar scene yet again. Ronaldo ripping the left wing again?!?! his having an absolute stormer! 4 stepovers and u have brett emerton on his butt yet again... cut it back aross the 6 yard box, evaded rooney, evaded giggsy, for Carrick to fire home with a cool finish to the right bottom corner. 2-1. What a comeback! than came the third, Park Ji Sung tapping in the rebound from a spilled Ronaldo free kick. the forth came from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, capping a fine Utd display with a typical ice-cool finish. Scintillating performance from a depleted Utd squad. the Good news: Utd is in red hot form. the Bad news: Vidic is out injured, prob for another 4 weeks. Off we go to Vicarage Road. Its Watford up against the defending champs, Chelsea Fc.
Like always, Chelsea played some boring football... and the 1st half ended in a familiar scoreline 0-0. the start of second half see no improvement from Chelsea. toothless, uninspired performance. its still goalless in the 90th min. Im already dreaming of an 8 point lead for Man Utd, tentalising! and the nightmare came. 2 mins into the injury time, salomon kalou headed in for chelsea. my hand was on my head when i saw the ball flew past the grasp of Ben Foster. Tyco-ness to its perfection. What a pity! to hold the defending champions for 90 mins just to lose it in the injury time? I can see the dissapointment in the eyes of Watford fans, and of cos, the United fans (like me and my bro). well its been a great footballing week, thanks for tuning in to Paul's Weekly Balls, good night!
