Hilton: Welcome to our third edition of Monday Night Football Fevr!

Calvin: Third? already?

Calvin: damn!

Hilton: No guest this week… He’s Calvin, I’m Hilton and we’ll discuss what’s been happening in the beautiful game over the past few days

Calvin: What’s up, can’t believe we doing our third edition already, I guess it’s been so much fun it feels like the first time every time

Hilton: haha

Hilton: Let’s get right into it…

Hilton: The FA Cup

Hilton: More importantly… Arsenal

Hilton: Another shock this round

Calvin: yeah FUHCUP

Hilton: So…

Hilton: I’ll ask in the dark cause I missed the game

Hilton: What happened?

Calvin: We got our Arse’s kicked this past weekend

Calvin: Ehem, Wenger happened

Calvin:

Hilton: LOL

Hilton: Kids again?

Calvin: oh well, what can I say, Wenger played his kids again

Calvin: plus a rusty Campbell

Calvin: I tell you when I saw the starting line-up, I felt like walking out

Hilton: Now, I can understand he wants to give the inexperienced youngsters, BUT

Hilton: You cannot play them against Stoke!

Hilton: The most physical of physical teams

Calvin: at Stoke, madness!

Hilton: (Besides Chelski when we feel like it, obviously!)

Calvin says: Sometimes I feel Wenger doesn’t take certain competitions seriously

Hilton: From the outside, its a serious problem

Hilton: You guys had a fairly good chance of winning it

Calvin: we did?

Hilton: I mean the only “big” teams left are Chelsea and Manchester City

Calvin: I didn’t think so

Hilton: You would’ve been one of three “big” teams

Calvin: Oh you mean the competition

Calvin: I thought you meant the game

Calvin: but same difference

Hilton: LOL

Calvin: to win the FAHCUP we had to beat Stoke right?

Hilton: Yup

Hilton: He claims with Villa, Chelsea and United coming up he had no option

Calvin: My Arsenal heart understands him though

Calvin: I mean we have 10 injuries

Calvin: senior players

Hilton: Ah don’t start

Hilton: Soon we going to hear that’s why you didn’t win anything this season

Hilton: And that it cost you the League

Calvin: like he said yesterday, with the upcoming games, we can’t afford to rotate the squad every week

Hilton: And And And

Calvin: LOL

Calvin: I’m serious dude, we kinda need to be smart

Calvin: here’s an interesting quote from what he said yesterday:

Calvin: “No, I had not much choice I must say. Bacary Sagna, Thomas Vermaelen and Gael Clichy could not play and I think Sol Campbell had a good game overall. If you look at our schedule you cannot always play with the same XI that is for sure. If you rotate and you don’t win it is your fault so I can only stand up and say that is the team I picked. We have 10 injuries and we are going into a period where we cannot rotate a lot in the big games.”

Hilton: Liverpool have injuries, but Rafa risks his players, and I think they want to be risked in important games?

Calvin: yeah but that’s why they are number 6 on the log

Calvin: hehehhee

Hilton: A *few* points adrift

Calvin: we are in an interesting position right now, we can’t risk like Rafa does

Hilton: All or nothing

Hilton: You cannot win anything playing it safe all the time

Calvin: says someone with probably the strongest bench in the league

Calvin: Arsenal have no bench

Hilton: Sometimes our bench isn’t strong

Hilton: Cause we also have injuries

Calvin: we don’t even count Walcott

Calvin: we only have Ramsey and Eduardo

Hilton: Remember that at one stage, a mere three weeks ago, we were set to start a game with Daniel Sturridge as the lone striker. That or add Fabio Borini to the mix?

Calvin:

Calvin: hmmmmm

Calvin: still

Calvin: I hate Wenger for his thinking sometimes, especially when we loose like yesterday (Sunday) but you gotta understand his situation

Hilton: I guess… Anyway, the competition goes ahead and the fifth round offers some tantalising matchups…

Calvin: yeap

Calvin: the draw been conducted already yeah?

Hilton: Yip

Calvin: Oh and Chelski playing Cradiff

Hilton: LOL

Calvin: why do u guys always get so lucky??

Hilton: I wouldn’t say “lucky”

Calvin: hahahha

Hilton: Our Champions League draw is not exactly easy

Calvin: Yah that’s exciting

Hilton: You win some, you lose some.

Calvin: and I wish y’all all the best

Calvin: and we meet in a couple of weeks yeah?

Hilton: Yeah

Calvin: interesting decider type of a game yeah?

Hilton: maybe

Calvin: hahahhaa, you right it’s still too early

Hilton: Anyway, in the FA Cup, Stoke will face Manchester City… and nobody knows if their wonder-boy Robinho is leaving/staying/being sold/loaned

Calvin: Ah yes Robinho

Calvin: all over the news lately

Hilton: He’s such a prima donna

Calvin: is he leaving? especially after this weekend?

Hilton: Well he told a radio station he’s certain he’s going back to Santos

Calvin: Santos???

Hilton: And the Man City directors apparently said he can go

Hilton: Ya, back to his old club

Calvin: *shocked*

Hilton: But now suddenly today he’s training with City again???

Calvin: LOL

Hilton: And Roberto Mancini says he wants him to be happy and stay???

Hilton: *weird

Calvin: very weird, I think he’s gonna bugger off though

Hilton: maybe Mancini’s managed to motivate him?

Calvin: once a player makes such news public, you know they unhappy and going anytime soon

Calvin: I doubt it, how long’s it gonna last?

Calvin: he’s caused so much controversy already

Hilton: I hope he doesn’t leave, simply cause he’s been so useless

Calvin: LOL

Hilton: Of course, that could always catch us out

Hilton: If he comes good

Calvin: you cruel man, and I thought i was bad

Calvin: hehehhee

Hilton: He was even useless for Brazil in Confed Cup?!

Calvin: Yeap!

Calvin: That I can attest to

Calvin: he’s really had a bad run of form

Calvin: for a very long time

Hilton: Now. Speaking of Cups.

Hilton: Your favourite?

Calvin: ahahahha, AFCON

Calvin: *dances*

Hilton: Seeing as you’re doing so well on the prediction front

Calvin: and guess what?

Calvin: yeap, in the beginning i predicted Algeria could go all the way

Calvin: and that Egypt would win the AFCON 2010

Calvin: my Algeria prediction was a personal one, meaning you didn’t know about it

Calvin: hehehehe

Hilton: haha

Hilton: I’m kinda happy cause Ivory Coast got knocked out which means the Drog is back earlier

Calvin: hahahha

Calvin: and I’m happy Cameroon just got knocked out, so Song is back for our game against Chelski

Hilton: And we don’t have massively major injuries to worry about – always a possibility when you’re playing on those pitches built by Chinese

Calvin: but more importantly was that Egypt beat them with the million chances they had

Hilton: So who’s left?

Calvin: What do u mean?

Hilton: In Afcon

Calvin: Well, Zambia still to play Nigeria

Hilton: Ghana through?

Calvin: ooh yeah, Ghana through, they beat the hosts Angola yesterday

Hilton: Big win

Calvin: yeap, even though every second decision was going against them

Calvin: the youngsters showed character

Calvin: and I must say they deserved the win

Hilton:

Calvin: Anyway I like Algeria, but I still think Egypt will win the competition

Calvin: The Algeria – Egypt game will be a super thriller!

Calvin: revenge game for Egypt

Hilton: lol

Hilton: We’ll know this weekend

Calvin: remember why?

Hilton: Yeah cause of the world cup qualifier?

Calvin: yeap

Calvin: upset of the century

Calvin: hehehehhe

Calvin: anyway

Calvin: that’s that
