Last weekends wrap up and Carlos Queiroz

What a weekend of football!!! Arsenals loses to the Geordies and all 3 Geordie fans in Kl are ecstatic. Granted there were more fans before, but since the got relegated, in true Malaysian fair weather fan fervor, the fans deserted them. But for the true fans, this was a win to savor, more so at the Emirates.

While Man u eek out a win against Wolves with an injury hit squad and a still crocked Owen Hargreaves, then Chelsea actually lost to Liverpool. The Kop end found it voices at long last and Torres got his scoring boots on as well. Liverpool didn't play excitingly well, but Chelsea were forlorn without Essein. And the Drog recovering from a fever didn't help, but still Reina was in top form.

However, this is the right time to mention that Man U must be contemplating their on again off again coach Carlos Queiroz. He is currently unemployed after being sacked by the Portuguese national team and available to assist Sir Alex. Whilst Carlos is out of his depth as a manager, he is excellent as a coach and right hand man to Sir Alex.

His being there at the Man U has always coincided with them playing some great football. Maybe the time is right for him to make that return to Old Trafford and instill some of the camaraderie that he was able to with his linguistic abilities. And some training techniques as well.

On another note, it was great to see Malaysia Cup winning coach Sathianathan on Astro Supersport talking football. Since he has been suspended by FAM for speaking his mind and putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 4, plus winning the Malaysia Cup, I'm sure the officials at FAM must be appalled that he is being paid to talk about the game. But it's ok, they wouldn't understand any of it anyway.
