We all know the results of the Pacquiao vs Hatton fight by this time, that the Pacman demolished the Hitman in two rounds. It is not difficult to find video replays as it was a very brief fight. Yeah, easy two rounds for the pound-for-pound king against the 140-lb brawler from Manchester, England. Disappointing in a sense that many thought they were not getting their money’s worth.

“What a waste of money!”. Those thousands of Britons who flocked to MGM must have said that when they saw their local hero lying unconscious on the canvass. I bet they probably lost more in the casinos than what their tickets’ worth.

Chelsea vs Everton in the FA Cup Final at Wembley on May 30! Who will win? I got my Chelsea vs Manchester United prediction half correct. I felt sorry for the Red Devils. But what can we do when you sit out your best players?

I expected Ronaldo and Rooney to inflict the damage. But they were rested. The young guys were given the opportunity to start and shine on their own. They were given the load to carry Manchester United to a quintuple. But Everton’s Tim Howard, United’s ex-goal keeper, made all the difference as he stopped the penalty shots of Berbatov and Ferdinand, after the game ended 0-0 at regulation. So Louis Saha was right after all, when he predicted a win for the Toffees.

Chelsea vs Juventus is another of the Italy – England match-ups of the first leg of the 2009 UEFA Champions league. My match results prediction of their encounter is somewhat tainted with bias as I am a Chelsea fan. And I am not a fan of Claudio Raniere, the manager who used to lead the British club to some heights in 2004, and was replaced by Jose Mourinho, because he did not win a title. A semis in the 2004 edition and a runner up finish at Barclay’s were not enough to satisfy Roman Abramovich, the new Chelsea owner at that time.

Luiz Felipe Scolari, the world cup-winning Brazilian football coach, had been sacked by Chelsea 2 days ago after a dismal team performance at the Premier League. Despite the estimated £6m per annum three-year contract of the Brazilian, who just spent seven months in the Stamford Bridge, he was shown the exit door. Therefore, he could collect £15M compensation. How’s that for being fired!

Some offices actually celebrate Halloween by decorating their cubicles, tables and the entire work area with whatever scary decor or costumes. Imagine a coffin with a real corpse at the entrance, placed where the bundy clock is. And everyone has to punch in, near the coffin window.

Or maybe some cobwebs in the rest rooms and flying bats everywhere in the office. Then the company president appears wearing a dracula outfit. The VPs like zombies. The guard wears a cloak resembling Death with a scythe. The lady manager appears in a white gown, and just stands on top of the table all day, mumbling chants like the Druids. And the secretary dresses like an old witch and narrates aloud halloween stories.

Crazy, crazy halloween ideas! The canteen is turned into a cannibalistic feast. Blood stew, bloody red juice, and pork leg formed like an arm.

Crazy, crazy, halloween ideas! Why is Halloween celebrated anyway? Good thing no one here in the office cares about halloween. I don’t care too! Do you?
