No, i'm gonna blog about another result - the one was was not really expected. The League Cup finals yesterday.
It was between Birmingham City and Arsenal where the latter were outright favourites! It reminded me of my recent trip to the UK - i was in Coventry for a couple of days and it was just after Birmingham had made it into the finals so everyone was talking about it. Coventry was near Birmingham so they 'tumpang glamour' la!
When i was in London staying with some of my former students, we talked about it too cuz one of them was an Arsenal fan while another, a fan of Birmingham.
It was an important match for both teams who were desperate to end a trophy drought - so desperate that even the League Cup would do!!!!
Birmingham had gone 48 years without any trophies!!!! Arsenal for all their wonderful football and talented young players have gone 6 years without winning anything altho they came close so many times. And this finals proves to be another one of those so close but yet so far episodes.
I have a lot of mates who are Arsenal fans and i really feel for them. But i have to be honest and say that i was backing Birmingham City. Yes, while the 6 years wait for Arsenal is long, surely the 48 years is even much longer!
And i usually support the underdog - so i was pleasantly surprised to read this morning that Birmingham won! The wait is over for them!

As for Arsenal, they are still waiting for the rain to fall on their drought. I hope they win the EPL tho! After all, they do play some really attractive football which is very pleasant to the eye.
*One of my fav song of his, with Eric Clapton on the guitars! Brilliant.
