Veni Vidi Vici

16th sept 2006, 9.30am - my group partner has just finished he's presentation. So next up is me, i walk up to my moderator, pass him the evaluation form and asked him politely "Can i start sir? ". He replied "Yes". So i started, "First of all, good evening to my moderator Mr. Jaya and my supervisor Mr. Yap. I will be presenting my project titled.....

Well that was when i was told that sumthing was wrong. Hmm..if u still dun find anything wrong with that, it's perfectly OK. It was more like a mere techincal error. I don't think it was the nerves. Here's why, the room was kinda dark, so it doesnt really felt like morning. Another thing is i was kinda fresh and i jogged earlier that morning at 6.45am. Normally i don't jog in the morning cause i don't like to wake up early. So majority of the times, i jog during evening, so it kinda felt like an evening. I just when with the flow.....

I was kinda dissapointed with how it went cause i don't know why i seem to have problem articulating my words. Probably there were too much theories involved and my slides were mostly diagram based so the points is all in my head. Previously i had to cut down my slides, based on advice from my supervisor because it was too many. Anyway, my supervisor felt it was OK..but i can't help but feeling not OK.

My favourite English football team --> Tottenham Hotspurs was playing yesterday. It's good to be back at home watching, rooting together with my dad for our beloved team. However, looking at the past 4 games, it's not a start that all Spurs fan would want to see neither did wat the pundits expected to see from a side who supposed to be playing champions league football if not for the well-done job of "some" team poisoning our team players at the very last match of last season. So, i wasn't expecting much from Spurs to sweep aside a mediocre Fulham team. Sadly, i think that my team has the quality to win the game easily if not for the poor tactical knowledge of our team manager Martin Jol. I have no idea why the hell would he still want to go with the width when we already don't have any wingers in the team at all? And why is Jermaine Defoe is not in the starting lineup? I think Murphy shows everyone why he's not getting much football at Spurs , cuz simply he suxx big time. It was obvious that the team needs to change formation. After the match, Jol, stated "We have to work on our team shape and teamwork." Yea your god damn right you better change it ! Jol, are you damn bloody blind or what? Can't you see what is wrong with the formation???

I was so annoyed that, even our team had so much possessions, the plays were simply predictable, with Chimbonda and Ekotto trying to provide the width.Credits to Fulham's defence as well, they are generally strong in aerial challenge. I'm not taking anything away from both our fullbacks, i thoguht they played well especially Chimbonda, i'm just so glad that we have him in our team. Zokora was a bit off form for me, nevertheless i'll still give him time to settle in, since he has a huge burden , having to take Carrick's role as well. Murphy was pretty invisible for me, totally unlike the player that did so many killer pass for Charlton last season. There were so many freekicks and corners but we hardly had a shot on target. The quality of the delivery is another issue, it was really poor.

This should have been the formation for the game..
With Keane and Defoe playing as wingers-cum forwards, and Mido as the target man. Overlapping runs by Ekotto and Chimbonda. With Jenas coming from deep, this formation would have worked!

This first few weeks is really tough for Spurs, having so many players coming in, with our influential loss of Carrick, we still need some time to settle down. Next up, is Liverpool....a team which is beatable. Having already lost their previous two matches, i just hope Jol reads this and jot down this bloody formation you fat ass...


Out of this dissapointing weekend, i can only take one thing positive from it.
