. . . Chelsea getting a penalty just when they need one. Who could have predicted that? I’m not bitter, though; I genuinely hope the linesman gets a favourable exchange rate when he goes to turn all those rubles into sterling.
There will no doubt be huge celebrations amongst the long-time Chelsea support* at the result that opens up the title race but, for my part, I’d like to know why the scores were still level when Michael Ballack walked up to take the spot kick, when the same player was so badly manhandling Ronaldo at a United corner that he should have conceded a penalty, and possibly received a yellow card. Perhaps the officials were too busy trying to work out how many rubles to the pound to do anything about that. You might think so, I couldn’t possibly comment.
All I’d say is that it would be a shame if Chelski’s negative tactics were to triumph when week-in, week-out Manchester United and Arsenal have played football the way it’s meant to be played. Actually, I will add one more thing: go Newcastle and Bolton!

Thanks, PP. I admit it’s a totally biased view, but it just seems that Chelsea always manage to get the dodgy decision in their favour. The fact that Chelsea became the most hated club in the country in less than two years must indicate that it’s not just bitter Reds and Gooners seeing favouritism that isn’t there.
no you’re right. they are disliked because whilst they have money, they have no class i believe. they act like pools winners most of the time. that snake-oil salesman kenyon sums them up.
i’ve a horrible feeling they will actually win a major competition this year by playing less attractive football than under maureen. sigh. i hope grant remains their manager for a long time. dour, dour chelski fc
