Revised on maths, and stayed back till 4 and did more maths! XD
But I still doubt I can even pass it . . . . ZZZ
Maybe ? After more practice, heh, there's not much time left though . . .
Whatever, at least I'm doing something about it now.
Hmmmm . . . I read an article about van Nistelrooy and I find it really interesting, in my point of view of course, heh.
Loving Ruud More Than Real Madrid Fans.
In many ways it's business as usual in the credit-crunch resistant, wacky world of Real Madrid.
The club is just as delightfully dysfunctional off the pitch as ever.
Club president Ramón Calderón remains in denial most days of the week.
Denying that Raúl vetoes signings that look suspiciously like younger and prettier strikers.
Denying that he has been moving friends and family up the club's season ticket waiting list.
And denying that he has been handing over UEFA designated match tickets to an events company owned by his former campaign manager.
On the pitch, the title-holding team has also picked up from where it left off last season.
Bernd Schuster continues to huff, harass and holler his way through painful press conferences, despite possessing a number of reasons to be cheerful.
The German's team is still just as brutally effective in front of goal, possessing the uncanny knack of being able to score at will. Of course, this advantage is constantly cancelled out by a defence that remains wobblier than Maniche on a space hopper.
The Spanish Thing is aware of the rancourous reaction that the merest mention of the Dutchman's name can bring from certain supporters back in Blighty.
But it doesn't care. In fact, it is sitting with its fingers in its ears shouting 'blah, blah, blah'. And this makes typing a little tricky. Let's just say that this column was started in March and the keyboard will need a quite a scrub when it is finally completed.
Bring Van Nistelrooy's brilliance into a discussion with one Scouser the Spanish Thing occasionally communicates with, and the point is disputed with fearsome force.
Why? "Because the (expletive removed) (expletive removed) always (expletive removed) scored against us. The (expletive removed)."
Alarmingly, this was a member of the school of mild-mannered Liverpool fans that can last up to two minutes in a conversation critical of their club without offering to remove your head with a corkscrew.
An Arsenal fan challenged with the notion that Ruud rules shrugged and repeated the mantra, "but he's a (expletive removed)". "But he's brilliant!", "But he's a (expletive removed)." And so on.
Part of the problem is that Van Nistelrooy will always remain a Manchester United player, at heart - and a very sulky one at that - despite an incredible two seasons with Real Madrid that currently sees his strike rate as second only to Alfredo di Stefano.
The former Dutch international's goal against Zenit in the midweek Champions League clash was Van Nistelrooy's 61st in 85 matches for the Spanish club and his eighth in eight competitive games since the start of the season.
Despite this titanic tally that has lead his team to titles, Van Nistelrooy remains respected by Real Madrid fans but not especially loved.
Part of this is down to the Bernabeu crowd being lazy, ignorant, unappreciative, spoilt-rotten and possessing the passion of a packet of Maltesers.
The other is the fans demand Raúl style badge-kissing and undivided devotion to the Real Madrid cause. And that's something that a player who wishes he had never fallen out with Sir Fergie will never offer.
In 2007, on the day that his former club won the league title, David Beckham was preaching to the media masses after a Real Madrid game. But his meandering muse was interrupted after being leapt on by a fist-pumping Van Nistelrooy who yelled 'United!' to all and sundry before running off.
But such indiscretions will always be forgiven. After all, this was a week when Van Nistelrooy scored a last-minute winner against Betis and guaranteed the club's first away win in Europe in two years, provoking a debate on how long the rule of 'Ruud Van Gol' or 'Super Van' can last.
Several years more, it seems. The Dutchman's retirement from international football will give his legs an extra couple of years of action.
Van Nistelrooy also has the advantage that pin-point positioning rather than pace has always been the key to his goal-scoring game.
During the week, Football365 went in search of finding the other secret sources of Ruud's tremendous talents and spoke to Atlético Madrid's Johnny Heitinga, a player who knows the other Madrid man both on and off the pitch.
"He gets just one chance and it's a goal," said the Dutch defender, admiringly. "If you watch the way he plays football, he always hits the ball on target. Never away from the goal, but at the goal. It's amazing."
Despite his poaching prowess, Van Nistelrooy is a player who is a little like Pete Doherty in that he cannot function without regular suppliers.
And that's why he drew a blank against Espanyol in a 2-2 draw at the Bernabeu on Sunday night.
Instead of passing to the Dutchman, his team-mates opted for blasting the ball into the stands for much of the 90 minutes.
The striker's one true chance came with a shot that was well saved by Carlos Kameni, thus supporting Heitinga's theory.
In Van Nistelrooy's binary football world, the goalkeeper either has to make the save or it's another addition to the 317 goals he has scored so far in his 15 years of club football.
Rutgures may be disliked and despised for a whole roll call of rational and irrational reasons ranging from an apparent resemblance to Shergar to bad-tempered behaviour. That, it seems, will never change.
But he has to be admired and respected as being one of the best strikers of the modern game. Even by those potty-mouths of the Primer League.
It's rather long so don't bother reading if you don't feel like to, hahaha!
ps: I feel ___ or maybe a lil' _______ when you tell me about ___ :\. 3 more days (:
