[481] Of Man Ure

Every dog has its day. I wish Chelsea godspeed and Man Ure the devilspeed. Must be a bad weekend for both Ajax and Arsenal. At least Ajax didn’t lose.

At the same time, a lot of cruel people are having fun on me. But that is expected of since I always zealously push everything down Manchester United fans’ throat whenever they lose to anybody. It’s only fair to let them have a holiday once or twice during the season.

Thank goodness for people that I meet in person everyday don’t give a damn for soccer. And now I remember why I’m a Manchester-United-hater.

Anyway, Google is running amok.

The earnings were seven times higher than a year earlier on revenue that doubled to more than $1 billion. The news also lifted shares of rival Internet companies Yahoo Inc. (YHOO.O: Quote, Profile, Research) and Ask Jeeves Inc. (ASKJ.O: Quote, Profile, Research) , setting the tone for a possible tech rally on Wednesday.

I wish I were one of the stockholders.

This is the goal, a beautiful goal by Feyenoord’s Salomon Kalou that put to an end to PSV’s 1159 minutes of cleansheet. The match ended 3 – 3, much to Ajax’s gain.

Ajax won 1 – 0 against Vitesse Arnhem thanks to youngster Ryan Babel and with that win in Amsterdam, the gap between pacesetter PSV and Ajax is being cut from 9 to 8 while the gap between third placed Ajax and fourth placed Feyenoord widens from 2 to 3. AZ Alkmaar, stays at second but with Ajax rejevunating from a disappointing Champions’ League run, with all three teams refusing to let PSV to run away, the race to the top will not be quiet. At the same time, all four teams are still in the European and the UEFA Cup tournaments.

The Eredivisie now rests for the winter break. I on the other hand am scrambling for my finals.

Rose Bowl anybody?

The day started with a loss at Columbus. And with that, destiny was not in our hand anymore. Fate was Wisconsin to command. However, chance stole fate from Wisconsin and voila! Michigan is in the Rose Bowl!

And may I say, thank you Wisconsin. It has been a fun season.

p/s – Ajax 5 – 0 De Graafschap. A nice little warmup for the Champions’ League match against Juventus . Ajax needs to win this if they want to save their season. And damn, Rosales is a good purchase!
