Our Duracell Bunny

The title says it all. Energetic and full of life, Carlos Tevez. One of my favourite Manchester United players. And I tell you he made all the difference in the 5-1 demolition of Tottenham at Old Trafford. At half-time 2-0 down in one of the closest title race and on the brink of surrendering the top spot of the EPL, if there was any manager who could turn things around you would have to put your money on Sir Alex Ferguson. He has been there and done it all. As he walked back to the dressing room at half time you could see the calmness on his face. And what a way to do it. The first big change he made was to bring on Carlos Tevez at half time. That was just the tonic needed as Tevez is one player who can tackle and hassel opposition players to win back the ball for his team. At one time during the Tottenham game I remember he tackled 4 players before he won possession of ball. Thats why the fans love him. He is our duracell bunny :-)
P.S: I feel he'll stay at United.

A Chip Of The Old German Block

It's been a while since i've blogged and what better to blog than sports :-) Formula 1 has been on the decline or so everyone thinks, with rule changes, single tyre manufacturer and cut down on budgets it was always gonna be tough. But what a surprise we have with Brawn GP leading the championship. From the brink of elemination when Honda pulled out of the Formula 1 season to leading the championship has been one amazing journey for Ross Brawn, team owner and the brains behind Brawn GP.
But it's not about Brawn GP or Jenson Button that impresses me. It is Sebastian Vettel, the Red Bull Racing driver. The same guy who after winning his first Formula 1 race at the Italian GP 2008 in his post race press conference said "we had the balls to do it" refering to the wet conditions. He was 21 years and 74 days old, the youngest to win a Formula 1 race. Alonso's record wiped off by a German being dubbed as 'Baby Schumi'.
It was a amazing to watch him win at the Chinese GP 2009. His first for the season and surely not the last. This kid has it in him to win championships. After all it was the legend Michael Schumacher who said it first. Can you imagine the outcome if you put him in a Ferrari? Watch out for Sebastian Vettel.
P.S: Luca De Montezemolo if your reading this you know what you need to do ;-)
