gut feeling

we do not always win.

this is a very nice clip about ajax. you can see so many players of the past in it.

henk ten cate may just be the one to lead us to glory again. although i can't quite accept the fact that we are not playing in the champions' league.

but still, you have to admit that to beat psv 3-1 in the johann cryuiff schaal and then thrash feyenoord 4-0 at the de kuip in a game that could ahve been 10-1, all major rivals for us, is quite a good feeling and somehow dispels the disappointment of the champions' league disaster. especially when we have made our best start to the league in don't know how many years.

but it's psv on sunday. if we win, they are 5 points off. it is the best chance to deal them a knockout blow, although it wun be easy: they are in as good form as us.

aaron lennon's goal is quite nice. especially since he gave me 21.50. but all these mean nothing when arsenal lost to west ham. i am not really interested in finding out how harewood scored, or how we lost.

because it's liverpool on sunday. we have to ask ourselves: do we want to win, do we want to play?

if we can answer that question with a yes on the pitch, that's all that matters.

we are only 4 points off chelsea, assuming we win our game in hand. man utd is even further ahead, but somehow, my gut feeling tells me that man utd wun be the champions. liverpool have caught up, just like what they had predicted when they analysed the next six opponents of liverpool after the embarrassing loss to man utd. but they still won't win the title. their current run and their so-called resurgence might bring them to third, fourth place. but it's not first place. and that will be it. not any higher. so they won't really be in contention. and so i believe that my initial stand, that liverpool is out of the title race still stands. they may make themselves seem to be in it, but the fact remains that they aren't.

my gut feeling is that only chelsea matters. and my gut feeling is that ___ will be the champions, come next may.

and my gut feeling was the one that told me spurs wuld beat chelsea.

from that game, i realised that only the first thought will be accurate, when it comes to gut feeling. if you miss that first murmur, you have lost it. unless you are able to sieve through all the muck that sets in after that first murmur.

it's like being at a party and someone whispers something, and then everyone else starts talking loudly. if you miss it, no matter how much the person repeats it, i don't think you can catch it again. you can then think back and try to figure out what he said, try to remember, by using your memory of his lips or something. but it will be very difficult. especially when your ears keep picking up what others are saying. which just make it all a total mess.

so my point is that you probably only have one chance to listen your gut. otherwise you need a bit of luck to remember what it said. i had that: i managed to sieve through everything else last sunday to come to the amazing conclusion that my gut said spurs would win. and so, i won.

but it would be much nicer if we win.
