Yup, we got outplayed. Rooney and Ronaldo were CLEARLY the best two players on the field in Cardiff on Saturday and there really wasn't a close third place. You know how much I cared about those two facts as Paddy Vieira put the 5th PK past the hapless Roy Carroll? Not a damn bit. It was lovely to hear Sir Alex bitch and moan about his timid team of underdogs who couldn't stand up to the physical play from, um, Jose Reyes? Take it like a man, your boys haven't been able to finish when they needed to all year and Saturday was no exception. Ruud just needs to call a mulligan on the year - he missed a number of opportunities that should have been gimmies for him. Scholes missed a couple that he should have put in as well - including the PK that everyone on Earth knew he was going to find a way to blow. And there it is - Arsenal are FA Cup winners without Henry and ManYoo go home for the summer with nothing to show for the campaign and no transfer budget for the summer. Good times indeed.
Just something to ponder, if Chelsea win the league, Arsenal win the FA Cup, Liverpool win the Champion's League, and ManYoo win nothing, does that make ManYoo the fourth best team in England this year?
News that Arsenal will be buying 2 or 3 players is welcome, especially given that one will be a striker. Dean Ashton, your life is waiting...
Finally, as I get ready to jet over to Ireland and England for Kris' wedding, I'd like to savor my moment atop the MLS Fantasy standings. I'm sure it won't last long but since its never happened before, I'm going to bask in the glow. On Ronald, on Jaime, on Edson and Brad, on Hector and Thiago, on Danny, on Albright and Michael and Tim - and, finally, keep holdin' on Scotty - the defense is bound to get better in Big D eventually, isn't it?
