Evil Teachers

Omfg don't you hate it when teachers screw you up?

Like on Monday in gym class, we were playing bench ball (soccer with benches as nets. Sounds like fun eh? =P) and, once, in a solitary epic duel, I accidentally shoved her over on the ground. It actually wasn't that rough, but that person dived like an Italian and, after the game finished, the teacher heard me laughing about it. For one, I apologized. For two, it was almost purely an accident. But I got called over and was subjected to this uber-long lecture about "fair play", lying (o.o) and the teacher even criticized my tone of voice. Later when I got back, my friend Owen, who follows this blog, told me that that teacher told her entire class about me, saying I had "attitude problems" and all that crap.

By the way, this is my first post with 3 tags.

OMFG

So, a few weeks after United lose to Wolves, they lose AGAIN. To CHELSEA.

And this is right after a rather dismal tie with Olympique Marseille and a very fortunate Manchester derby, won by Rooney's magic. Sadly, this time United actually deserved to win the game. Luiz should have been sent off for his challenge on Hernandez and the penalty was....well.....very soft. The outstanding Chris Smalling clearly got the ball in the area and if the referee wasn't a complete idiot he would've said play on. Well at least Smalling didn't get sent off. Vidic will now miss the Liverpool fixture after a 90th-minute red card. And since Ferdinand is injured, Wes Brown will have to take his place.

Van der Sar was brilliant in this game. He saved a good shot from Malouda, another from Luiz, but his moment of fame was still to come. After only managing to parry Lampard's free kick straight to Ivanovic, van der Sar still somehow tipped the ball to Vidic who cleared. Vidic, despite his red card, was also rock solid and made several important clearances and blocked Zhirkov's shot which would've went in.

Rooney then scored a low 25-yarder. He seems to be regaining his form at the moment, which is good, because Manchester United need him to settle this crisis of losing 2 out of 3 games when they had previously gone the whole season unbeaten. But United's undoing was in the 2nd half.

They just sat back and defended instead of pushing and pressing Chelsea, who were now free to attack. It was rather debatable why. United had an obvious advantage up front with Hernandez, Rooney, Nani and Scholes all in the mix. At the back, however, they had Vidic, van der Sar, Smalling, Evra and O'Shea. Vidic and van der Sar are undoubtedly world-class, but Smalling lacks the experience for games like this. Evra is way too offensive, and O'Shea isn't very good at all. Maybe Fergie just had this random spazz =/.

Well, Essien swung a cross in and Luiz netted the equalizer. Then, after a random swing of chances, Lampard was basically gifted a penalty which he drove past van der Sar and into the goal, making Chelsea lead 2-1.

If Arsenal win against Tottenham, then they will be within 1 point of Manchester United, an easily catchable distance. Apparently, the center cannot hold.

BLACKPOOL

Hey fellow Premier League watchers! Heard the latest news?

I'm not writing about Darren Bent's 18 million euro transfer (he can go rot in a hole for all I care). I'm not writing about Liverpool's recent resurgence under Kenny Dalglish. I am talking about Blackpool

In this season Blackpool have been quite simply stunning. An opening 4-0 win over Wigan. A miraculous 2-1 win over Liverpool. 8th in the table. And to think they were in League One just a few years ago!

But now they've been fined.

In a 2-3 loss to Aston Villa early in the season, Blackpool manager Ian Holloway, who had led the Tangerines from their League One days, made 10 changes to a side that had tied 2-2 with Everton the previous week. Apparently this is a Premier League offense and Blackpool has been fined 25000 English pounds.

My first reaction was...What the ****?

Why the hell would radically changing a side be noteworthy of a fine?

Alright maybe Blackpool were bribed to lose the match, but they only lost 2-3 to a good side! Why would Aston Villa even waste money to bribe them in the first place?

To make matters even more stupidly ridiculous, Ian Holloway has stated he would quit if charges are fined against the team. Um...overreaction-much? Just because your team got fined 25 grand (which isn't really a big sum in a league where players' salaries average around fifty grand a week) doesn't mean that you should quit and waste all the effort you did over the past few years. It's just like Fergie spazzing at refs when they make a bad offside call or something (but Fergie spazzes are fun =P). Mr. Holloway should NOT let all the crap the FA throws at him get into his head. In fact, he should ignore it and focus more on why his team have now lost 3 games in a row after that marvelous win at Liverpool.

Basically, behind all that charisma, Ian Holloway is still a person and Blackpool are just still a team. =)

Don't You Hate It When...

1, You realize you forget your homework right when you get to school?

2. You get stuck with some stupid guy for a project and you end up doing 98% of the work?

3. The aforementioned stupid guy tells your teacher that HE did all the work and you end up getting a bad mark?

4. You finish typing a 10-page essay and then your computer crashes?

5. Somebody calls you a "geek" just because you know the 13th digit of pi? (it's 9, by the way)

6. People think...

6.1. Mac is better than Windows?

6.2. Xbox is better than PlayStation?

7. Somebody hates on you for no reason?

8. Fingernails screech against blackboards?

Yeah just a short incomplete list of my pet hates =)

MAINSTREAMAAAAS

If you don't know that I'm gifted right now then you are at the same intelligence level as an ant.

And the mainstreamers in our school are so weird!

For example, they don't know how to play pen-and-paper Battleship (they think they can split up the ship -,-#) and their teachers interact with them in a much more casual way than our teacher does with us -,-.

Like our teacher forbids us from calling those kids as "mainstreamers" but the mainstreamer teachers allow them to call us "gifted kids" and "smart people" and another dozen that I'm too lazy to name.

It is just really really really annoying that they can say "Going to do some math?" while we can't say "Shut up dumb****!".
