So I finally changed the look of www.adityanag.com

I’d had the old site up for ages and since I had time on my hands, I thought of trying something new. I went with a simple theme, from www.freecsstemplates.org This is a pretty good site, with some nice templates. I’m not very good at designing, it’s not my thing, so I wanted something simple and nice. According to a friend, the look is feminine. I’m not sure that’s true, but if it is, so be it, I say. I’m not going to redo the whole damm thing. I may change the colours around, but that’s only if men start propositioning me!

In a few minutes, the UEFA Champions League final starts! AC Milan v Liverpool. This is going to be fun. In 2005, the same teams met, and AC Milan were leading 3-0 at half time.. and Liverpool won. So AC Milan wants BLOOD! BLOOD I SAY.

And Federer beat Nadal on clay. Armageddon is here. I wish it had been the French Open final, but we’ll take it nevertheless, thank you very much! This sets up the French Open just perfectly!

The teams enter the field. Gattuso is glaring as usual. Liverpool plays in home RED, AC Milan in away white..

OOOAAAA ooooAAA OOOOaaaa OOOOOO

Paolo Maldini oldest player, playing in a record equalling eight final.. Crouch out for Liverpool, Kuyt in.

Toss over, Liverpool loses. And now I take a break to watch.

It was a pretty even first half.. Decent performances from both sides. Gattuso gets a yellow card. And then, on the stroke of half time! Inzaghi scores. Pirlo takes a free kick from 22 yards out, curls it in, and the ball ricochets off Inzaghi’s upper arm. Now was that handball?? Difficult to tell. The rules say, “Deliberate handling of the ball.” It all happened very fast, but from where I sat, admittedly far away, it did not seem deliberate. Inzaghi was running forward, and the ball hit him on the arm, and that too on the upper arm, near his shoulder. He certainly did not lift his hand. He had his arm down, near his body, and the ball just swung into him. On balance, I’d agree with the goal.

But Liverpool has looked threatening, and they have had their chances. With Gattuso sitting on a yellow card, he can’t be as much of a defensive force as he is used to being. The second half begins now, so more after the match.

Ah well, so Liverpool lose. They had a few chances in the second half, but Inzaghi did it again, and 2-0 was too much. Kuyt’s late header was not enough, and the men in red went down 2-1 in the end.

Still, it was a fun match, and since I was relatively neutral, I enjoyed it.

Now I am wondering what to do next. Hmmm. Planning to go to Delhi for the weekend, but not sure about that. Let’s see how it all pans out.
