opening day blues, i suppose. pool were widely tipped to win, but had to count on a controversial penalty to hold sheffield to a draw.

and we had to wait till the 83rd minute to get the equaliser. it would have been very embarrassing to lose your first competitive game at emirates. anyway, i was quite stunned when the news reported the latest score of the game. i was stunned to see us down 1 goal. den i switched on gamecast to follow the game. we had 60 percent possession, i think 18 corners, and 7 shots on target. den it became 10 shots on target. when walcott came in, i was thinking, maybe he would do something. he crossed and gilberto scored. den i was even thinking we could win.

but as it turned out, we didnt.

sometimes, faith can only take u so far.
