Soccer!!!

Arsenal drew at Sunderland late last night (well IST anyway), even in lucknow I couldn’t help but scream in anguish and despair at the team that promises the sky and delivers a whimper, how much can a fan take?

Lose to Hull at home, bash Porto and then draw with Sunderland….just another week…!

Play lovely football guys and always be the critics’ choice, but not on the winning side..no definitely not.

Anyway, there’s an element of deja vu in the entire series of outcomes because this has been happening to anothe thing that’s driving me crazy these days…the Dark Knight; dspite my princely contribution of $10 in the 960 odd million it had made, it’s still not any closer to the $1 billion mark by a long shot…why $1 billion? I dunno….jsut one of those things tiny and inexplicable, like wishing Sachin scores a century and thereabouts…there isn’t anything much for the sports fan in India anyway……DD covers Saina’ matches (correct spelling, mind you…) and DD is not even tuned to, in some of the households…. I mean who’d b caught dead watching DD today?

A debate won is a debate settled one might say, but not completely so….the debate on what are the returns n investment  earned by coming all the way to Lucknow for a debate is completely justified by a shiny trophy, bu not when one is also paying for one’s ticket…..so what if only second class? Students you see, perennial paupers….
