Liverpool Beat Chelsea

Ohmigosh! Liverpool have beaten Chelsea in their Premiership encounter yesterday. This is a serious blow to Chelsea’s title aspirations and if Manchester United come thorugh with a win at the Emirates Stadium today in their encounter against Arsenal, then they will open up a 9-point advantage over Chelsea! And even though eternal-optimist Jose Mourinho will say that difference can be made up, it will be an immensely difficult task. Either ManU will have to slip up real badly – which sounds improbable, given the team’s fine run and form – or Chelsea will have to see that they win every match from hereon and hope that ManU slip-up. Either sounds improbable to me as of now.

Chelsea will be really hoping for a loss or even a draw for ManU which will keep the reds within sight. And though a 7 point (if itz a draw) lead may not sound cool as compared to a 9-point lead, Chelsea will take that I’m sure. As for Liverpool, their win was a shot-in-the-arm for manager Rafa Benitez who had the audacity to play a 3-4-3 formation in earlier fixtures and this one too (I presume). They now move up to third place in the table, 4 points clear of Arsenal and will stay there no matter what the Arsenal Vs. ManU result will be.

Now for the Chelsea Vs. Liverpool match. I was a dumb-a** to have dozed off just as the match kicked off but I hope to catch the replay soon. Liverpool were 2-goals ahead as early as the 17th minute with goals from Dirk Kuyt and Jermaine Pennant.

Embedded Songs on WordPress

It was announced today that WP now allows embedding songs and movies onto the blog post! Well, the movies feature is yet to come but the audio-embedding feature is up n’ running! This post is to test the embedded audio.

The file I used is a simple Mp3 file that I found lying unused on the system but it’d be interesting to see how common users can upload these files onto WP.com and the link to them! As of now I don’t see a ‘Audio’ selection in the Uploads section of the Write Post page. There’s the document upload and video upload but no audio!!! Guess we’ll have to make do with some free file servers as of now!
