Highbury....The Final Bow!

It was a script written in heaven and played out by men who were viewed as superheroes. On the final day of the season,in the final game of highbury stadium,the home of Arsenal for the past 93 years, the gunners finally got what had eluded them all season long... a champion's league spot. The day was already abuzz with final days celebrations but captain Henry and his men had much more fanfare instore for the highbury faithfuls who thrung week in and week out to support their beloved club. Arsenal went ahead early but Wigan tried to spoil the party by goung 2-1 up but cometh the moment,cometh the man. Henry stepped up his game to close out his highbury career with a hat-trick,Henry scoring a 76th minute penalty to complete the feat. Henry sent Pollitt the wrong way - and dropped to his knees in homage to the North Bank faithful.Thus closing out highbury's last fotball match with a win for the guners. News filtering in from Upton park of Spurs loss sent the highbury fans in rapturous celebrations. Finally they had a foot in next season's champion's league...C u on May 17,where d gunners become European champions!

HOW DO U BLOW A 3-1 SERIES LEAD?

The L.A Lakers were in dreamland, there were leading the series against Phoenix Suns 3-1. They were not even suppose to be here but they were and they turned up the heat and then as fast as it came it was gone. Like a dream, they woke up and it was all gone. The palyoff heroic by Kobe and the team spirit and mechanism all gone poof with the wind. Nash and the Suns were not just going to lay down and be trampked on. They did it the hard way but they did it. I must say I as a Laker fan feel L-E-T-D-O-W-N. My hopes have been raised just to be crushed. I remember recieving a phone call from a friend all the way in the U.K asking me if i saw game 3 and how Kobe just turned on the magic. Then it happened, they lost game 5 then game 6 at home how pathetic. The series was tied and headed back to Pheonix for game 7. Okay, so maybe it was presumptuous of us to expect an exciting Game 7 from a Suns/Lakers series that had been one of the most entertaining first-round series in recent memory. Either way, Phoenix pounded L.A., 121-90. Steve Nash had a quiet 13 points and nine dimes, but didn’t need to do any more than that. Kobe Bryant dropped 24, but scored 23 of that in the first half. And Nash is the one left standing while Kobe goes home, which we’re pretty sure will soon become a popular justification for those who voted for Nash as MVP.
Whatever the lakers do in the summer,I feel they should add shooters to the squad. Kobe needs some help. Well i'd holla at you later but for now I'm out like the Lakers …
