Top of the Table / Portal

Today I am a happy man. Arsenal has finally taken back the top spot in the Premiership with a solid win over Manchester City. Emmanuel Adebayor has exploded onto the scene this year as not only one of the finest strikers in the Premier League, but one of the finest footballers the world over. Adebayor brings deft moves, lightning speed, and raw power and strength to the Gunners in a way no other player does. His incredible consistency and focus has really aided Arsenal in their 2007/08 Premier League campaign.


Adebayor added two more goals yesterday, one in the 9th minute and another in the 88th to bring his goal total to 11 in the last 8 games. Eduardo scored on a pass from Adebayor in the 26th minute as well, meaning the Togolese striker had a hand in all 3 of Arsenal's goals. Arsenal played fairly tight at the back as well, holding the stellar Manchester City offense to just a single goal. A 3-1 result put Arsenal in position to take back the top spot from Manchester United. Just a few hours later, ManU drew against Tottenham 1-1 and Arsenal reclaimed their position at the top of the table.

I'd like to take a moment to comment on Portal, part of Half Life 2: The Orange Box (360, PS3, PC). Portal equips you with a portal gun (such an unexpected name, right?) that can create what is essentially a wormhole from one location to another. The catch is that you may only shoot the gun at solid surfaces. As you can imagine, a top notch game development team like Valve can work wonders by throwing very devious puzzles at you. I cannot express just how impressive and innovative this game is, it is one of the finest games in ages. These are my first impressions, I'll post my full review soon.

My apologies for the infrequency of posts recently, I have been rather ill. Apparently University Health Services is filled with inept medical professionals and I have quite simply never seen such disreputable health care. Anti-shout out to you, UHS.

I'm out.
