A search for the word Wakooww in Google,Wikipedia,Webster and all other kinds of search engines drew a blank. So I thought I could give my own definition for this word :D

Wakooww-Ur favored or favorites to win something. You start off with THE most stupidest plan to do so;realise your mistake half way through and make conscious efforts to change but however gud ur efforts are,you lose out.
Examples:
1. My B.Tech education.
2. Jose Mourinho's gameplan for the FA cup semifinal against Liverpool.
In the end, both of us ended up being losers :-(

I am not gonna gloss over the former(Worsht kinda self damage:O). So lemme write about the latter.
For all those who still think soccer and american football are one and the same, Senor Jose Mourinho is the manager of Chelsea Football Club. Hes got a big brain but the problem is that hes got a bigger mouth. So he shoots himself in the mouth most of the times with whatever he says. However, he IS ONE of the best managers in the EPL(English Premier League) at the moment. Senor Rafael Benitez is the manager of Liverpool FC. I would rate this guy as the second best in the league at the moment. He isnt as controversial as Mourinho though.

When the two teams met @ Old Trafford(home of Manchester United which is an arch rival for both these clubs),lots were at stake. The two clubs had already met lotsa timez in the recent past. Also, this was Liverpool's only chance to grab some silverware while Chelsea wanted to continue with the "double" saga( last time, they won the League Cup and EPL).


So amidst much tension and frenzy, the two teams started the game. To put it in a single word, Mourinho's gameplan was "Dumb". It was blasphemous!! He had at his disposal,midfielders lyk Duff,Cole,Robben,Wright-Philips(yeha he does play for Chelsea!). Instead, he starts off with Ferreira in the midfield. He is a very gud defender and at the max, a defensive winger. Geremi plays on left flank(hes basically a midfielder). So we have Essien, good ol' Makelele, Lampard and Ferreira in the midfield andDrogba and Crespo up front. This formation would have come good against a relegation threatened team. Not against a team that had come back from being 0-3 behind and become the European Champions! I still don understand what Mourinho sees in Drogba that he chooses him over Crespo.
So the game starts. Drogba got a sitter early in the game and as usual, he missed. In fact, no one expected him to score. It was such a shock when he scored later in the game. Liverpool got an freekick and they scored by penetrating through a "crack" in the chelsea "wall". After the goal, Chelsea midfield was in tatters. It was mayhem all around. No one knew where to pass. Of course, Liverpool's defence was awesome but then this wasnt what one expects from a side that could afford losses around 80 million pounds and still spend more on players!

At halftime, Mourinho must have been thinking what the heck had he done(similar to what I felt in my second year;I shall save that story for some other time :P). As one of my friends quipped, Chelsea did not have anyone playing who could do a decent dribble. No midfielder attacked. Hence Drogba and Crespo were left fuming since they rarely got the ball. He makes amends at the half time by bringing on Robben instead of Del Horno( a defender). But it was Liverpool who went further ahead through a peach of a goal from Luis Garcia. The 'keeper Cudicini was left stranded by the spaniard's left foot strike. The game was in the bag as far as Liverpool was concerned. Mourinho decided enuff was enuff and brought on Duff and Cole in place of Crespo and Geremi(yeha, u read it right, mighty Crespo was subbed :-( ). And the results were there to see. Almost the whole Chelsea squad attacked. Liverpool was dumbfounded. Their defence was under enormous pressure. The pressure cracked the Liverpool defence finally and Drogba sneaked in a goal after a rash clearance by Riise. The temperature rose and we all thought that Mourinho had got it right this time. They kept attacking. One has to give credit to the Reds' 'keeper Reina. He had a gr8 game and almost single handedly made sure that Chelsea got nowhere near that second goal. Joe Cole had an easy chance during the injury time but his shot was inches above the crossbar. And when the refree Poll blew the whistle signalling the end of the game, Mourinho had shot himself again. This time around,it was coz of his brain and not because of his mouth. Hope he returns to sanity by next weekend (Man U vs. Chelsea :D). If not, then I guess its "Adeus Senor Mourinho" time for the Blues.

The author is neither a Mourinho hater nor Anti-Blues. In fact, he is a true Blues fan and an admirer of Mourinho. Now can you understand how Wakoowwd Mourinho had been???
