EPL Gameweek 9 & CL Gameweek 3 highlights

Beach ball (right) helps Bent score

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE (WEEK 9)

Life’s a BEACH!!! That must have been the first reaction of the travelling Liverpool supporters as a beach ball helped Sunderland’s Bent to score the vital goal in the opening 5 minutes to see off the Kops in Saturday’s Premier League match. The beach ball (in red in pic), was cleared off the ground before that incident, but somehow a Liverpool fan punched it back in front of his team’s own net, and Bent fired a shot into that beach ball (bearing Liverpool’s badge on it), and while both Reina and Johnson were distracted by that, Sunderland took the 3 points. But this goal should not have stood according to rules, but the ref gave it and Liverpool were unable to make a comback, 1-0 the game ended in Sunderland’s favor.

Happy Diwali 2009

Hidden Bluetooth Service in XP and Vista

Taking a break from the world of football for some handy techie news , the Bluetooth service in Windows XP/Vista.

This Bluetooth service trick is an old one, but still many people are not aware that it exists in both Windows XP and Vista.

Most of us would either buy or download a software which would allow our Bluetooth Dongles or Bluetooth devices to communicate from the PC to mobile phones. However, with this trick, no longer need to scour the internet to search for a software.

Black Cats hold unconvincing United

What was supposed to be a rather easy game for United almost turned out to be a nightmare for them, as after being led twice by Sunderland, they managed to rescue 1 point following an own goal from Rio Ferdinand’s brother, Anton, in injury time.

Premier League Week 7 & CL Week 2 roundup

A late post for the review on what happened in the English Premier League Gameweek 7 which took place last weekend, and this will be a rather brief one, since will have a brief review on Champions League action which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday as well

Ryan Giggs breaks resilient Stoke City

When United are in trouble, they sometimes turn to the old heads to turn around the situation, and this is exactly what happened today as they faced a resilient Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium. It took two magical moments from the legendary Welsh Wizard, Ryan Giggs, to secure the 3 points after a hard fought match, even if Stoke did not trouble the backline and Foster, but did prevent the likes of Rooney and Berbatov from attacking Sorensen’s goal for a long period.

EPL: Gameweek 6 analysis

May be the best gameweek so far for this season in the Premier League as drama unfolded on all the stadiums hosting football matches during the weekend.

The most awaited 2 games were the Manchester derby, where United hosted City in the battle on who is the king of Manchester, while in London, Chelsea were receiving Tottenham Hotspur in another battle of London.

Battle of Manchester Episode 1: United the conquerors

owen celebrates winner

What a derby match it turned out to be!!! United vs City promised much even before kickoff, and the fans were treated to a galore of goals, but also of errors, and for City fans a heart-breaking finish. The quest for who is the boss in Manchester has for the time being turned in United’s favor, although City gave them a very rough ride till the end and had players missing as well, like Adebayor and Robinho, while former United boy Tevez was back in the blue shirt. 7 goals scored, but 4-3 United managed to scrap a win courtesy of Owen in injury time.
