wish list

The year is almost here. In fact it the new decade. New Year is followed by celebrations, breaks, vacations. No such thing for me, sadly. But with New Year comes New Year resolutions. We all make resolutions that we in turn break by the time Valentine’s Day comes along. So I will honestly try to tick each thing to do. Here’s a list of what I promise myself to do in the next year.

However, I might not be able to. Not because of not trying, but because not everything you try to is achieved. I will try and may probably fail better next year, or who knows actually i might pull off the things on the list.

So, here goes...11 things to do for 11’.

• get out of debt
• fly to Old Trafford, Manchester
• write a book
• attend a friend’s wedding/engagement
• get an enamel teeth coating
• make an old enemy an ally
• be with a new girlfriend
• build a decent CV
• meet or interview Anurag kashyap
• finish my Spanish lessons
• learn to drive a left-hand drive car

EPL - Chelsea or Manchester United

The EPL points table is increasingly looking like a two horse race after 2/3 of the season has run its course after Chelsea slammed in Arsenal 2-0.The league is now for Chelsea’s to lose,because surely they have more depth and latitude in their squad.

Manchester United only have Rooney ,Giggs and some other fringes.Apart from that nobody is having an outstanding season. Anderson and Berbatov have been massive let downs; and Nani and Valencia for me don’t make the cut yet and some of them will surely be let go after this season. United need to buy someone cheap and someone to support Rooney, in the mould of Arsenal’s Fabregas,for Rooney is even more dangerous floating in the midfield as the playmaker .

If someone comes up from their youth programe, nothing better.

Although there’s talk of the United gaining moment; for me, it’s a surprise that they have not lagged away from Chelsea as yet . But really, if United clinch the title, Chelsea will be themselves to blame.They still have to take on United at Old Trafford on April 3- potential decider,so its all in their hands.

But this season, I would have been delighted to see Arsenal win after their ‘invincibles’ squad of 2004.They are such a young team and I like most of their front half.Fabregas,van Persie,Rosicky,Arshavin, everybody .They are a team that play positive football, even when they lose, as on Sunday to Chelsea in the London derby of massive significance. The gunners fell back 9 points off the pace, yet they earned praise from Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelottti .Ancelottti would never do that to a team like Liverpool.

Frankly I hate their brand of football. They shut out the rivals. Liverpool believe in canceling out the strengths of their opposition and its not worth watching them .And I don’t think they will add to their trophy cabinet anything this year or the EPL any time soon and remain at 18 titles.

It would really have been great if Arsenal had won, as Sir Alex wished and then we would have been witness to a tight as ever top three dogfight for the title. More so because each team is playing well. Arsenal will surely claw back, and the top two will drop points too. Here’s hoping the rest 1/3 of the season delivers the anticipated thrills.
