Gunners and Devils

I am still trying to get over Liverpool’s unkind loss in the hands of the Blues. Today, a little calmer and a little steadier, I am happy to report that Arsenal bested Villarreal 3-0 this morning, and secured a 4-1 victory on aggregate; the goal-getters were Walcott, 10; Adebayor, 60; and Van Persie, penalty 69. The Gunners will now face Manchester United for a place in the Rome final. Arsenal has this chance to win the Champions League if they can get past the Devils and at the same time avenge the Reds’ defeat…

The Sun today (April 16) carries the headline “Wong stays on” – the Selangor state government had decided yesterday that Elizabeth Wong should resume her duties, both as the Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman and state executive councilor for environment, tourism and consumer affairs, and she had accepted the offer to stay on.

Of course, this supposedly made Selangor UMNO chief and state opposition leader Mohd Khir Toyo a happy man, saying he would be exploiting the decision to retain Elizabeth Wong, and that this would become a hot issue in the next general election.
