Derby Day

After getting myself battered for the past few days for particating in a futsal competition. Now is the time to focus on some more interesting matches. Tonight is the derby night in two of the most interesting leagues in the world, for there will be two derby matches playing in the BPL and one in the La Liga.

First up will be the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park.


Both teams has not been in the best form lately. With Everton losing their last two consecutive matches, and Liverpool being kicked out of the prestigious Champions League. These two will only require no less than a win to ease the pressure of their managers, especially Rafa Benitez in particular.


Everton will look on to Saha to continue his goalscoring record, he has bagged eight goals so far in the league. While Liverpool will always depends on their influential captain Stevie G to get them the result they needed so badly.

Next up is a derby in another part of the country. Its the capital derby, the London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.


Arsenal, slightly weakened by the lost of their striker Van Persie through injury, will try to dominate the midfield area. Spearheaded by their young captain Fransesc Fabregas, they will hope to stop the physically stronger Chelsea led by Frank Lampard with their one touch football.


Chelsea in the other hand, having saw their lead at the top of the table cut to only two points after an impressive performance by Manchester United last night. Will want to restore their five points deficit at the summit.

Last but not least, derby of all derbies, the El Clasico in the Spanish La Liga. A delicious matchup between two arch rivals, Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Nou Camp. Dubbed as the most expensive match in the history of modern football, mostly due to the price tag of all the footballers that both teams possessed.


Kaka, Xavi, Benzema and Ibrahimovic are only some of the few big names that will feature in this match. The two names that most people talk about though, are two of the most crucial characters in this match. their battle is as delicious as the match itself. The winner might even possibly crown Mr. Footballer of the Year. Its Lionel "Messiah" Messi and of course....the most expensive footballer in the world right now, Cristiano Ronaldo.


Perhaps the most exciting among the three. Expect a very highly entertaining and explosive match when these two teams meet. Better get some rest before the late kick off.
