Football: It's been a gooood weekend

Yup, a good weekend it has been, with Liverpool winning 3-0 at home to Norwich City, and Valencia winning 2-0 at the Mestalla against Racing Santander. The only thing that prevented it from being the perfect weekend was that Spurs went down 0-1 to another van Nistelrooy penalty (A colleague said that if we took away all the penalties that van Nistelrooy has taken and scored, Man Utd would be in the bottom half of the table last season. Whether this is true remains to be seen. Heh).

Anyway, Liverpool's match on Saturday was the first time I actually WATCHED a delayed telecast even AFTER I knew the result. Such is the faith and enthusiasm I have for the current Liverpool team (Right. If Liverpool had LSOT 3-0, I wouldn't have bothered).

Anyway, it was well worth it, as Liverpool once again impressed me, even without Gerrard. Baros scored a great goal, Luis Garcia scored a deflected goal, and Cisse scored a free kick goal. For once, all the forward players delivered.

Xabi Alonso took over Gerrard's role flawlessly, spraying passes and crosses well; while Luis Garcia was again the center of the attack. These two Spaniards, along with Josemi (who didnot play against Norwich), have been very impressive indeed, and I think they will get even better with time once the get used to the pace of the EPL.

Yup, here's to more goooood weekends in the future!
