Frederick Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Baby's first match report - Chelsea 4-4 Aston VillaVilla out the blocks quickest! Maloney scores! Lampard gets injured! Ballack comes on! Maloney scores again! Cech with a howler! Ballack falls over! Zat Knight gets mega harshly sent off! Shevchenko scores the subsequent penalty! Curtis Davies is alive! Shevchenko rifles in a quick equaliser just after half time! Alex puts them ahead! Curtis Davies makes a really bad attempt at a sliding tackle! Martin Laursen equalises! Carvalho with a scumbag two footed death lunge on Gabby! Red card! Dubious free-kick awarded to Chelsea! Ballack takes it! Ballack scores! We dart up the field and...Cashley Cole handles on the line! Penalty! Red card! Stoppage time! Barry takes it and slides it in! Full time!So in a nutshell, a draw. How boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SympathysSilhouette Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Chelski is one loss away from being completely out of the title race imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_ed Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Who would've predicted this considering the miserable start the Mancs had? *sigh* I really had high hopes about them getting relegated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'd say it was a two horse race at this point; I don't see Chelsea being able to sustain a threat and Liverpool won't be able to make up the points they need because they never beat the teams above them. The two turning points in Chelsea's season have both been caused by Villa, which is strangely comforting. The writing was on the wall for Mourinho after the 2-0 defeat and the realities of a team without Terry were exposed for all to see yesterday. Then there's the fact that Cech doesn't look fit, Carvalho is gonna be suspended, Lampard's injured, Drogba's gonna be unavailable for ages, the African Cup of Nations is coming up...the odds looked stacked against them. Special mention for Pizarro, who yesterday was the most woeful player on the pitch by a country mile. I was actually embarrassed for him.

SympathysSilhouette Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 And with only Arsenal's kids standing in their way, you'd have to favor Manure to reclaim this title at this point. They've been wavering in recent weeks, and they'll need to find some consistency again and hope that Manure slip up at least a few times.

eNe Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 BTW, when Mourinho was at Chelsea, they had never allowed 3 goals in a single game. :| Game against Villa was 4 to the floor. Congrats Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_ed Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Did anyone call me?Celtic v BarcelonaLyon v Man UtdSchalke 04 v FC PortoLiverpool v Inter MilanRoma v Real MadridArsenal v AC MilanOlympiacos v ChelseaFenerbahce v FC SevillaAnd Arsenal - Milan was my final prediction. The team with the best football, versus the team with the best goodville. I just can't wait to see these games. Hoping Persie, Fabregas and Hleb will be able to play. If so Arsenal is one step forward. But still Kaka', Pirlo and probably Ronaldo, are the ones you should always have an eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 All these players I'd forgotten about are all of a sudden getting in amongst the action: Ballack...Eduardo...Saha...Curtis Davies. Bogey team alert! Let us all hope Ronaldo's horrendous missed penalty costs United the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_ed Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Apparently that was Eduardo's 9th goal in 10 games :| *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Dear world,Spurs are the fourth best team in London. Their ties with Arsenal are bound purely by geography, they are not 'rivals' in any competitive sense. Berbatov will leave. They will not be in Europe next season. They are not, and have never been, a big club. Got it, geezer? Nice one, guv'nor.Love,Frederick the Great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
