Chelsea snatch the Europa League from Benifica after scoring at the death

Chelsea won the Europa League after Branislav Ivanovic scored in the 93rd minute of an absorbing tie.
Chelsea followed the Champions League final win last year with another European title last night.

Benifica started brightly and were just all over Chelsea and Chelsea were just about able to defend in the final third and keep the score to 0-0. Benifica were quick with their passing and movement and the Chelsea midfield were struggling to cope with the movement of the Benifica players.
Especially David Luiz was very poor as he could not keep hold of the ball and when ever Benifica had the ball he was like a headless chicken running on the pitch.
That put a lot pressure on Frank Lampard in the middle of the midfield. Benifica were brilliant in the passing but they were not shooting when they could have a sight at the goal but they played as if they wanted to pass the ball in the goal.

Gmail Outage for a long time on 13th may 2012 at around 1pm Indian Standard Time

I have been using gmail for a long time now around 8 to 10 years i guess.
But i haven't seen the service down for such a long time between 10 to 12 minutes.
I am from Goa and use gmail on a regular basis but this seems be the longest time that i have seen it not working.
Maybe this is the one of the many times that gmail has been down and this is the first time that i have managed to see it down for quiet a duration.

I get the below page result when i go to http://gmail.com

I love their doodles and this page image with the robot all broken down into pieces is just another cool image.

Update at 7:30 pm May 13th 2013 :- 


Just checked google news and according to Time of India( TOI ) the gmail outage was from 1:50pm to 2:25 pm. Around 0.75% of users mostly from India, Middle East and South East Asia. Google apologized for the service issue and promised to work on it to minimize the outages.
There have been outages on may 2nd and may 8th also that like almost every week for the past three weeks now. There were lots of messages or talks about the outage on social media about the regular service issue in recent times.

Hopefully Google can sort the issues and provide uninterrupted service to its users as well as me :D

Did you experience gmail down today???

Poor Manchester City loose to fancy relegation threatent Wigan in FA Cup Finals

There is the final nail in Roberto Mancini's coffin, he will surely be sacked as the manager of Manchester City after they lost to relegation threaten't Wigan Athletic by a single goal. He could have salvaged this season by wining at-least a FA Cup trophy and win 3 trophies in 3 season. Mancini hasn't been able to work his magic as he did last season. The new signings haven't worked except Nastasic and it looks like his final days at Manchester

But Manchester City were poor as they have been whole season and did not have the best of games as well just 2 or 3 really good chances. Wigan had a lot more chances and they played much better. They deserved to win as they looked like they wanted to win and had the hunger to lift a trophy. They were the underdogs for this game and the neutral were expecting a drubbing by Manchester City , but it was good to see a tightly fought contest which Wigan won with zest.

Bayern Munich thrash poor Barcelona 7-0 over two legs of Champions League Semifinals

After Bayern Munich had won the home leg 4-0 Barcelona had to score 4 goals without conceding a goal to have any chance to progress to the Finals of the Champions League.

Bayern Munish rested a few key players who had a booking and could have missed the finals if they were booked in the second leg. Barcelona had Lionel Messi on the bench and it looked like he might be injured.
It was going to be a uphill task for Barcelona to overturn the tie but they had hope as they have score 4 goals at home in more than 50 games over the last 3 years or so. But against a strong Bayern team who themselves had scored 5 or more goals in their last league game were favorites to go through
