Ducky's Note: If one feels like making Paint images with random drawings of arrows after defeating 2 time European Champions and a team that is 3rd in a league of 16, imagine what all geometric inticacies I have to create for defeating 7 time European Champions and a team second in the Italian League, by one goal better.

The media has touted the ongoing spat between Rafa and Allardyce as childish. Yeah well, damn the media. I personally love this stuff, and at least it has given me a decent reason to write another post. As I have already said, Big Sam is one of my most annoying characters in EPL but then like a Russian Pole-Vaulter he keeps bettering his own records.

In all the hype about the Special One, the Special Ton, or rather double ton, and the Double Puns (Urinary Infection etc.), everyone forgot the most satisfying news to come out of yesterday for all Manchester. Manchester City got knocked out by Stoke in their FA Cup replay 3-1, leading to this banner getting set to be moved on to the next number.

And as Dan Gosling lined up to the centre of the D, the whole world around him shut down, melting into a background blur. I mean ever since he wrongly deflected the ball into the net at 118th minute against Liverpool he knew he had done something wrong, something terrible as the gods had always looked down on him, injuring him , robbing his house, taking away his girl friend, letting dogs peeing at the front of his door, all sorts of.

Maddy's Note: You have got to envy this guy. Really. He sadly wasn't at the Grove last night. Then why envy him you ask? The reason for this uncustomary absence is that my mate Felipe is in sunny Rio for the biggest annual carnival in the world.

BFZ Update: For those of you waiting for Maddy's version of the events, we regret to inform that he slammed his foot into his bedpost after United's third goal, and is now feeling something in his left metatarsal. In all likelihood, he will be out for the rest of the season a la Van Persie.

His name is Wayne Effing Rooney. And he can make 54,085 people at Old Trafford and about another million around the world do this.

If this was scripted by God, then it sure as heck couldn't have been scripted better. Just goes to show you can buy any devil with cash, but not a Red Devil.

And no, I don't care if it was Premier League opposition. Or that Wenger played his kids, AGAIN. There's such a thing as learning from the past.

And seriously, what's up with Arsenal and spent defenders?

Smug maaax moment.

With the African players away on national duty oh! How? ooh! How? Would Chelsea manage to stay adrift? I mean look at that line up it "only" starts – Cech, Ivanovic, A Cole, Carvalho, Terry, Belletti, Lampard, J Cole, Ballack, Malouda, Anelka. In way I guess it explains how they managed to score "only" 7 eh?

A team which cost nearly £65m (without calculating Rooney's present worth using the RMEIPVI) went down to a team more than 40 places below them in the pecking order of English Football. And all Fergie could complain about was that there was only 5 minutes of Injury time and virtually no ‘Fergie Time'.

Arshavin has now scored more goals at Anfield than Voronin. It wasn't exactly 5 Goals, 1 Game. It was 5 Goals, TWO games and I'm happy enough.

I probably am going to be accused to doing a Keyrock here. You know being a fair weather blogger. I know I have remained conspicuously quiet starting from Sunderland through Citeh. Guilty as charged. Shame on me.

Two people who must be kicking themselves after yesterday are the two writers on this blog whose teams failed to pick up the three points yesterday.

Forgive my prolonged absence. It is absolutely unpardonable, though fact is that the average arsefan has had so much more than just my small space to keep them entertained over the past couple of weeks which have been fantastic. The Arsenal has posted its Q1 results and they have been emphatic.

Doesn't a head butt on Ljungberg count for anything? It's bad enough that Silvestre plays for the Arsenal given the fact that he's a <insert vile swear word insinuating oddities about his sexuality here> but to give him the captain's armband? That simply is stretching it.

Monsieur Wenger, you know I have been a vociferous fan and that I've never EVER spoken ill of you.

And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the beginning of Liverpool's season. Thanks and Keep watching.

Remember, We did this to you.

This will be the biggest thing in a couple of years. Just like UEFA have done with their Champions League, we will do with this. This will be to cricket what the... er... Champions League is to football.

-Lalit Modi, Chairman, Champions League T20

To all ye doubters who mocked at my observation of some other tournament being the clear inspiration for this tournament.

If god came to me and asked me to pick one game where we were going to switch off and let in a late equalizer thereby letting go of 2 points I'd have picked AZ Alkmaar in the Champions League group stages without blinking an eye. This phenomenon was something that I feel was our undoing last season (apart from the fact that we were pretty poor otherwise too).

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the end of Liverpool's season. Thank you for watching.

I simply couldn't resist that.
