Sports corner
As an ardent fan of Arsenal Football Club, I was pleased to watch arsenal win both in Champions lg qualifier and EPFL, while Chelsea losing both. After watching the highlights of thegame a couple of minutes back, and unable to share my feelings with any other Arsenal fans (Noone's picking up their phones :((), I thought of penning it down. The victories were in fine style and the goals were really classy.
ONE MORE reason to be in India... I get to watch all the games on one of the best ever sporting coverage networks in the world, ESPN/STAR sports for Asia. Unlike the sports network in this part of the world, where there is not even a news coverage of world sports :( Miss those days so much, when all the Arsenal fan club used to gather in hostel common room to watch the champions league games at midnight :(

Was a big Man U fan back in India with a healthy respect for Arsenal but have stpped following the game since coming here (also the fact that Man U was never the same after Beckham went away didnt help)
Awww... I thought sports corner might feature cricket actually...
:)( *exasperation* . kuch paane ke liya kuch khona bhi padtha hain. And, all cribbers go straight to hell.Mudit is first in line, followed by pointy, of course.Save yourself! Play cricket :)
I have lost touch with soccer man..I do follow football religiously though....today is a great match between the colts and patriots...
@rohan: I actullay disliked ManU due to beckham :-p
@casa: Me not into much cricket... although my hatred for the game has dwindled offlate... BTW if I remember well singapore has huge fan following for English Premire league soccer...
@Totti: I dont get it ... u mean NOT(Cribbing) == Cricket?? With your self proclamed name of a soccer start u shoudn't be speaking much in favour of cricket or change your name back to the original one..
@pointy: Well.. Jaisa desh vaisa bhesh... Offlate I have started liking football(amroo), looks much better than cricket for sure... But soccer is always one sport close to my heart and I can move from this country for that one reason...
Yup, Spore has such die hard fans of EPL, you cant go to a pub and sit peacefully if there is a game on! Big screens, lots of beer, and dumb fans ready to fight it out in the pub itself... hmm, quite a scene!
PS: I dont like Beckham... too much glam, too little sport.
Yeah! i hate beckham too! always did.He is such a jack ass on the field! I could dribble him with my left eye close.Sus, thanks for reminding what my name stands for.Spit away to glory :] Thu!!
@casa: waaw... watching games in bars sounds so much fun... the only time I did that was once in grmany and it was amazing fun...
@totti: Hmm.. I wonder why is beckham popular.. majority of people seem to hate him.. anyways... from some reliable sources I realized that totti you were born in Naples, Italy, can u please enlighten us on why u moved from there??
Oh cmon guys he is one of the best playmakers in the game right now, just coz the strikers at Real Mad suck you cant blame him (of course all that hype around him takes away from his achievments on field alil bit like Alan Iverson and terell Owens). And of course no one can still bend it like Beckham :)
I actually stopped supporting Real after Beckham joined them... so.... ;)
PS: Totti got kicked out of Italy?
Hahahahaha!
so when u coming to india finally...we play quadrangle footbal under the lights in bangalore too every weekends...and to metiona the ppl its godav junta all the way in the likes of sarkari,triode,chirkut,jackson,lara,poccha and many more godav and iitm junta..does this give you one more reason to come to bangalore
@casa - to quote your own words,"why people land up in a country is a complex mixture of decisions and destiny" or something like that. so i was'nt kicked out of italy.I had to travel from the middle earth for particular reasons, i shall not disclose yet.How are the elves doing btw?
The elves are doing fine, but the quest for Aragorn is still on...
@rajesh: I shall be graduating in summer 2007, and taking the first available flight after my convocation. Glad to hear about Godav Soccer Club reunion at Bangalore.. just counting the months here..
@totti: I really didnt want to get into the true story.. actually even now I think I should not.. afterall you are my roommate, I shall not speak bad about u in public.. mudit or pointy I delegate the task to you to write something about totti's past..
@casa: well as an illiterate in LOTR... I can just say.. Continue your quest
