Dumb and Dumber

If somebody poses me a question, what am I – how do I respond? I will always say that I am a Malaysian. It is just a one-liner but to me, it suffices. Short and succinct. I am a Malaysian. But it would seem that there are those who are shy of admitting they are first and foremost, Malaysians – they have this strange desire to claim their ethnicity first, so that no one is in any doubt they are what they want others to see them as. 

Outclassed by Barcelona for more than an hour at the Emirates yesterday, Arsenal hung on long enough to produce a late rally to earn a 2-2 draw in a rip-roaring Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Two classy finishes from Zlatan Ibrahimovic early in the second half (46, 59) gave Barcelona a two-goal but the Catalans stepped off the accelerator pedal and so, the Gunners stunned them with two goals from Theo Walcott (69) and Cesc Fabregas (penalty, 85) in the final 20 minutes. A very timely reprieve for Arsenal.
