Sunday, October 15, 2006 "I care about my two friends. JT became goalie for abt 2 minutes at the end of the match because cech and cudicini were both knocked out cold with head concussions, and the medics took like 5 minutes to stretcher each of them off (cech in the 20th second :(, cudi in stoppage time). it was bad to the point of eurgh. both of them couldn't even move, and cudi even needed an oxygen mask lah. stoppage time from 4 min extend till 12. And when the ref finally blew the final whistle chelsea's happiness was utterly and heartwarmingly "palpable": everyone jumped onto terry and they were so happy I felt tears of joy prickle at the back of my eyes from halfway across the globe. sniff. and because jcole rocks, he is back! and when he was subbed in (for sheva, which really doubled my joy) the reading players immediately fouled him and boularouz was so angry and protective of jcole that i'm really starting to like him too. he defended well and he's super duper tough like leather-beef jerky-bullish kind of tough. like TENACIOUS. haha. i mean, no wonder pple call him The Cannibal. :D and here's further justification for everyone to respect mourinho: he refused to get involved in the free for all among the assistant coaches. If you follow sports news you'd expect him to do the exact opposite, but it actually seemed as though for once he was really being the mourinho that both porto and chelsea players respect, and not putting up the hostile, arrogant front the media and us are so accustomed to. He provided the oasis of calm his team needed, and made sure his team could draw from him the courage to stay strong and absorb everything fate was throwing at them. like yoohoo. so sey. he really rocks. sigh. perhaps I'm overdoing it, but "we love you chelsea, through and through!" and because JT always signs off like this... COME ON THE CHELS! 1:52 PM
