The above picture says it all, really. On Sunday, I watched Manchester United absolutely destroy Arsenal by the score of 8-2 at Old Trafford. Wow, 8-2, that’s like a hockey score right there. Let’s start with United. Complete performance from the team, every attacking player was firing from all cylinders. Rooney had two pinpoint accurate free kicks along with a penalty for his hat-trick. Young had two outstanding shots bending straight into the side of the goal, breathtaking stuff. But I thought the critical moment of the match came when Arsenal were awarded a penalty while United were up 1-0. Up stepped Robin Van Persie, he shot the ball near the bottom-left of the net and United goalkeeper David de Gea bent down low to make the stop. It can be argued that Van Persie took a poor penalty shot, but that was a good save.
As for Arsenal, I’m not going to repeat what so many of the media have already said about Arsene Wenger and his squad, though I am getting pretty sick of constantly hearing about their problems. The media have always talked about it since near the end of last season. I don’t need to be repeatedly reminded about how Arsene needs to spend money and trying to get more experienced players and strengthen their depth. I already know this.
Switching gears to UFC last Saturday night, there is no denying the dominance of Anderson Silva, who retained his Middleweight title by beating Yushin Okami in the second round. After watching that fight, I kept thinking to myself “Who next?” Who can possibly stop this guy? I don’t think anyone can right now.
Apparently there was also the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night? Umm…I didn’t watch it. It's pretty much a costume party nowadays...
That’s all I got to say…
