"Mourinho are you listening, you'd better keep our trophy glistening, coz we'll be back in May to take it away, walking in a Fergie Wonderland!".
Don't care much for Man U, even less for Chelsea, and nothing at all for the Arse. Still had to tune in this morning to see what kind of drama would unfold at the Emirates, and what might possibly be the background for the match between Man U and Chelsea later this week at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea had to win to keep their faint Premiereship hopes alive. Alas, it was not to be, as Arsenal fashioned a 1-1 draw from this encounter, which sent the title back to Old Trafford. The Gunners' Gilberto Silva scored on a penalty kick, thanks to a straight red card to the Blues' Khalid Boulahrouz, who upended Julio Baptista in the box just before the first half ended, for the only goal between the two teams.
Chelsea played well in the second half with only ten men, and finally broke through midway through the second half on a diving header from Micheal Essien. Can't recall the exact moment, but a bit later on Frank Lampard widely missed a ball that looked as if it had a real chance to hit the back of the net, and Salomon Kalou had a certain goal knocked away on a great save from Jens Lehmann.
Can't say for sure that I thought Chelsea would win with a lineup that didn't include Drogba, Cole, Ballack, and Shevchenko, but it was a good effort to the final whistle all the same.
Hope you're happy Don and Jack......a :beer: to the both of you gents.
